Welcome to the forum.
What does it say on your ID plate? Mine says it's an A120, which means that it has a 120" cargo bed, but its wheelbase is 108", so it's considered an A108, I think, and the A100's have a 90" wheelbase, I think. You might want to first measure your wheelbase.

Welcome!
Welcome to VV! They were either A100, or A108. This refers to the wheelbase. The A108 has a large flat panel behind the driver and passenger door, and has a longer wheelbase. The A100 has a short styled panel in the same place, and is considerably shorter. Take a look in the gallery, you will soon see the differences.

Thank you Mr dix. I never was a 'student' of these machines - just drove and maintained it over the years - so I might not be the most reliable source, and, I don't mind being corrected.
If the title plate says A110 then I don't know what to make of that. A little lower on the plate it might state the wheelbase.
I guess it's possible that Mr hometeam has a one-of-a-kind, in which case, he can probably expect a knock on his door from Mr RStR with cash in hand, probably in the next hour or so...

Welcome!
Rebar, don't scare the guy, I've got enough for now!
Here's an A-100 (90 inch wheelbase) with the character line between the front and side door.
Here's an A-108 (108 inch wheelbase) with only flat area on the side and 5 windows!

As for your question "Is it a Sportsman?"
This was a trim level, not exactly a body style.

In case my comment stirred concern for Mr hometeam, I can assure you all that I was only joking. But of course, if anyone can find 8aloysia in an hour, it'd be RStR.

Hometeam, that is a link to a picture on your own computer. This site doesn't host it's own uploads. So you have to upload the picture to a picture hosting site and then copy the link and use that here. It's explained in the top forum section, here

rebar, I knew you were being funny, but "atylosia" is a plant species, and Ed Huerta has many results, including a musician in LA and another in Minneapolis.
Besides, I already spent the morning drilling holes to remove the roof skin. Got PLENTY to do!

I can ask a friend who lives in the Irvine area for a good local mechanic, if that's close to you.
As Space Truckin says, these are fairly simple machines. Most routine maintenance and repairs can be done by the owner. However, there are some specialties and some are not willing to tackle unfamiliar territory. Let us know what needs to be done and we can help point you in the right direction...

Just Bought 67 dodge
I've got the same issue. My plate says the model is A110 and it is a pickup which was converted by Lazy Dsze to a class C RV. Decoding the VIN on mine says it is a 1969 A-100 pickup with a V-8 engine produced in Warren, MI in 1968. It does not specify wheelbase (it measures 90") or bed length. An earlier post on this topic proposed that on his A108, the A120 was pickup bed length but that can't apply to your van. Now we're both confused.

You may be referring to my post about my a120 van (not p-u). The wheelbase measures 108". The distance from my rear door to directly behind my passenger seat measures 120".

Sorry folks, in my earlier post I "fat fingered" the message. It is a 1968 pickup produced in 1968 and it was converted by Lazy Daze. Its amazing how this diet (dropped 23# since New Years without exercise) has affected things.
