: Any info on this Dodge truck with D60s?

I picked up a crew cab single-rear-wheel Dodge 4x4 this past weekend. I know it has a D60 front, D60 FF rear, and a slip-yoke NP203 married to the auto trans. The married T-case means it's newer than a 1975, right?

Some pics are here:

Can you tell me what year it is, or anything else about it? It lived at the beach much of its life, and it was driven in the salty flood waters of 2 hurricanes, so the body and frame are REALLY rusty. The frame is actually broken on the driver side (the break is outlined in pink in one of the pics). But when I saw the D60 front axle, I knew I should get it. :D

There is a sticker on the drivers door jamb that says:

-------------------------
Rustproofing Material BER
Govt. MIL-C-008392...
-------------------------

I can't read the rest because it has paint on it.

The VIN tag on the door says:

-------------------------
make: DODGE model: W20
vin: W26BE8S179657 ton: WNO38212
055646 mx gvw: 08000
-------------------------

Any ideas?

Thanks!!!
