There never was much body part support for these trucks. If your truck has a 3 speed automatic, it's a version of the 727 Torqueflite. Those are solid transmissions, just not the best for economy due to no over drive. It's a solid, basic truck. Mechanical parts are reasonably easy to find.

Ive had an 81 W150 (1/2 ton version of this very truck) and an 83 2wd version, both 318s and 2 that I wish I had never sold..... our son has a 90 version as we speak, not been as good of truck the fuel injection of late 80s/early 90s sucked badly.... we've had a couple of those as well......
. would love to have another carbureted one. Im stuck in a "Dakota rut" now and I certainly dont want newer (not into 4 doors and ridiculously short useless bed)
if you dont buy, pass on the info to me!
even among other vehicles we have had with that same 727 tranny, ( you' retalking to someone on my end, that has never owned anything besides a Dodge) these 2 trucks I think were the only 2 that I never had to touch the trans on besides fluid and filter

I finally remembered what your transmission is. It's a Loadflite transmission. Basically, a slightly heavier duty Torqeflite.
