Also, now that I think about it and without looking it up, I believe the "D" in DWA stands for "Diesel".

Also notice the "45,000" on the dump bed. It probably has 11 Fronts and 34 Rears.
Any idea when did FMVSS start mandating cab lights on vehicles over a certain height or a width? I'm pretty surprised that that era truck does not have them.
