I'll be glad to post the for you. Send them to awriser@yahoo.com. I worked on mine a little today, trying to start it after sitting for 15 years. No luck today(no fire). Maybe tomorrow.

Looks like a Napco to me. Is it a 3100? 6 lug wheels?
Here is the way that I posted the pictures- First, I had to shrink them, because they were too large to post here, so I right clicked on the pic, left clicked "open with"--->"paint". Left click "sketch/skew", downsized horizontal and verticle to 70%. I then left clicked on "file", left clicked on "save as", then renamed the pic. I did each pic this way. Sometimes you have to go smaller also. There are other ways to do it I'm sure, but that works for me.

Thanks for doing that,its a 3200 and is 8 stud, its has a long bed and has a hump in the chassis,is there anything else that will help to find out if its a napco,i bought it on ebay and it had no title so had to get a new one before shipping,it has a new tag on the door pillar,there was two marks where the old tags where(one large and one small)
but they where removed when i got a new title.i saw numbers on the transfer case will they help.i might sell it later but need to know ,i cant sell it as a napco if its not.
im straight up with people buying my cars or pickups.thanks for any help you can give me.

I would love to help, but I'm new to Napcos myself. If I understand correctly, Napco made all 4x4s for GM back in those days???? So, if yours is original, which it appears to be, it is a Napco. Mine has no decals or tags to identify it as a Napco either, that I have found. I haven't recieved my title yet, so I can't help you there either.

It's the best NAPCO website I have found.

Does the axle have NAPCO in raised letters on the long tube like you see in this pic?

If it has 8 lug wheels it should be a 3/4 ton, the front axle looks to be an original NAPCO unit. It looks exactly like mine, which I know is an original '58 NAPCO; my dad bought it new in '58! The hump in the frame over the rear axle would make it a 3/4 ton
