Hi everybody, I have found a nice truck and I am wondering about the bed cover option. Seems to be a Dodge one. Could it be the GP2 (or GR2) Model Conversion code on the equipment identification sheet ?

Never saw that before. My little white book simply id's that GP2 code as 'model conversion', big help that was.
What about that 'deluxe heater', does it have a 3 speed fan or dash vents like A/C? The little white book says it requires a larger alternator.

Thank you Captain ! I will pick up the truck first week of december, I will have a look at the number of speed fan and the dash vents. The alternator seems to be a larger one (63A) but the battery is only a 48A. On my 1975 D200 the original one was a 70A

There is some money to spend on this D150 too because underneath is not so nice.
That's the weird part of my 85... The underneath is fantastic, I can still read the yellow factory stenciled numbers on the frame, the floor and cab mounts/braces are super, super solid which makes it worth spending time and money on the rest.
The body on mine is solid, more a problem of the PO was an old geezer that had his keys pulled because he couldn't hardly see, most body work needed is from scraping his way in n out of the garage, not so much from rust.
Really surprising for a northern Indiana truck.

Took time to have a look at this 'deluxe heater' : only 2 speed fan and no additional dash vents. A friend of mine said that if it require a larger alternator perhaps there is an electric radiator combine with the water radiator to heat the cab more rapidly

It's always nice to have the equipment list. I was interested to see that the rear end is listed as an 8-3/8" and not an 8-1/4" or 8-3/4". I had asked a question regarding these a couple months ago because I had not heard of them before.
