I need some information on a Dodge pickup I have.
It is a 1978 Standard cab with a short box and its full-time 4wd.
The Vin # is W14BE8S196903
I am not sure whether its a 318 or 360 v8. Also not quite sure if its a 3spd or 4spd. Also is it considered a D150 or W150? The glovebox says custom on it... Can anyone help me figure this out?
