Dodge W300 Pickup Parts & Accessories

The Dodge W300 Pickup is the one-ton four-wheel-drive body-on-frame truck from Dodge's W-Series lineup, known for its exceptional payload capacity, heavy-duty axle setup, and factory four-wheel-drive capability that made it one of the most capable American trucks built during the 1960s and 1970s. Buyers searching for W300 Pickup parts are primarily restoration enthusiasts seeking factory-spec replacement parts, off-road builders who value its robust Dana 60 and Dana 70 axle configuration, and collectors preserving these rare one-ton trucks for show or trail use. The platform is distinguished by its long wheelbase, dual rear wheel availability on later models, and compatibility with Dodge's largest V8 engines including the 440 B-series big-block. A well-known OEM weakness on high-mileage examples is worn rubber leaf spring bushings and fatigued front Dana 60 U-joints, both of which are widely available as Moog or Spicer replacement components.

Popular Upgrades

The most popular upgrades for the Dodge W300 Pickup include Moog front end rebuild kits for the Dana 60 front axle, Edelbrock Performer RPM intake and four-barrel carburetor kits for the 360 LA or 440 big-block V8, Rancho heavy-duty leaf spring packs, MagnaFlow stainless cat-back exhaust systems, Spicer heavy-duty U-joints for the front and rear driveshafts, and ARB air lockers for the Dana 60 front and Dana 70 rear differentials. K&N replacement air filters offer an easy bolt-on intake upgrade for factory airbox setups on both the 318 and 360 LA engine families.

Performance and Handling

The W300 Pickup chassis responds well to complete front end rebuild kits that address decades of wear in the Dana 60 steering geometry, improving handling and tire wear significantly on restored examples. Adding a heavy-duty leaf spring replacement pack from Deaver or National Spring restores proper ride height and load capacity for trucks that have carried heavy payloads over the years. Buyers running larger tires on the W300 Pickup should note that a tie rod upgrade and steering stabilizer from Rancho or Bilstein is a recommended pairing when fitting 35-inch or larger tires.

What makes the Dodge W300 Pickup different from the W200?

The Dodge W300 Pickup is the one-ton version of the W-Series lineup, equipped with a Dana 60 front axle and Dana 70 rear axle versus the W200's Dana 44 front setup, giving the W300 significantly higher payload capacity and stronger axle components. The W300 was available with dual rear wheels on certain configurations, a feature not offered on the lighter W200. When ordering axle parts, differential components, or steering upgrades, always confirm the axle type stamped on the housing to ensure you are ordering for the correct Dana application.

Can I fit a 440 big-block in my Dodge W300 Pickup, and what parts do I need?

Many Dodge W300 Pickups from the late 1960s through mid-1970s came factory-equipped with the 440 B-series big-block V8, and those that did not can accept a 440 swap using period-correct motor mounts and transmission adapters. Edelbrock offers the Performer RPM and AVS2 intake and carburetor kits specifically for the 440 Mopar big-block, and MagnaFlow provides direct-fit exhaust headers for B-series applications. Confirm your chassis year and existing motor mount configuration before ordering engine swap components.
