Default W100 weight and gvwr - need picture of door label please?

Wanting to tow or carry a camper. 1989 W100, 318 engine. When I looked at the door label, it was empty! So could anyone take a picture of their W or D 100 or 150 label for me? Or has the info? Couldn't find it anywhere on net or here. I would appreciate it.

as long as the camper trailer is less than 5000lbs and 500 tongue weight you are likely good. gvwr only really matters more so in commercial towing.

I meant a camper that just sits in the truck bed... also wonder how many pounds I could haul back there.

even with a 250 you would likely need air bags to haul that and it would likely put you over the gvwr especially on a w100.

Not sure what year this is....

IMO, the springs, axle, and tires on a half-ton are not up to carrying very much camper.
