Thank you much for the numbers - My chassis vin calls it an M-400, but all the Dodge manuals that show pictures of my chassis refer to it as an M-375 in 1972, an M-400 in 73 and later. I believe it was the M-350 frame, upgraded with heavier axles: my front axle is a 5000# rating, the rear axle a 10000# rating. In fact both my winnies are 72 D22s with the identical running gear and driveline.
