    Is my 1967 Dodge A100 Custom Sportsman considered an A B or C body? Where did that term come from?

    A Body = Small WB, examples like Dodge Dart/Plymouth Valiant/Duster
    B Body = Mid Size WB, examples like Dodge Coronet (Super Bee), Plymouth Satellite (Road Runner)
    C Body = Large WB, examples like Dodge Monaco/Polara, Plymouth Fury

    The A100/A108 vans were classified as a truck throughout its production and did not fall into the car classification of A/B/C body. Scott...
