gettin a weird jones for a 77 dodge tradesman 200 van

I'm reading from the 1977 FSM here. It says that the B200 came in two different wheelbases; 109 or 127 inches, and in gross vehicle weight ratings of 5500 or 6100 lbs. From this I conclude that the B200 came in both 1/2 and 3/4-ton varieties. Isn't that what the GVWRs are saying? Please correct me if I'm wrong.

Just resign yourself to having to remove the grille, A/C condenser, radiator, fan and shroud. Then you have quite good access to the front of the engine. You can get pretty fast at removing these front-end components after you have done it a few times! (Of course, access to the top and rear of the engine is excellent with the hatch cover removed.) And everything is SAE on an early B-van.
