Morgan,
I can't provide any additional information specifically regarding your data
plate. But, if you haven't found it yet, try www.dodgepowerwagon.com. There
is a very good bulletin board there as well as quite a few informative pages
regarding Dodge trucks of earlier vintage.
Hope this will be of some help!
