Front fenders on 1961-71 models have a wider flare on the wheel well opening. Pickup models were equipped with a 9' Utiline (step side) bed. Also manufactured in limited quantities, few NOS parts are in existence for this truck. However, we stock many parts for these trucks.
1961-71 D300 models share many of the same parts with the 1961-1971 4x4 W-Series vehicles. The D-Series two-wheel-drive trucks use different front axles and drive shafts. Nearly all other parts should be interchangeable between D-Series and W-Series Dodge vehicles.
