another thing, i am mechanicly inclined..and i cant spell worth a ****..

 

I have a 76 W100. It came with a 318 v8 727 tranny, NP 203 transfer, chrysler 10 1/4 axles. I replace mtr with 340 HO, put new chain in transfer case all new drive shafts and had front axle rebuilt. Mopar parts are harder to come by than most ,but trucks last forever.

 

I can find dodge parts out the wazzooooo, but when it comes to interchanging that is where the buck gets stopped. Not much information on it.

If you have the vin code you can goto several of the Dodge truck sites and they have a link to the decoder for the vin number.
That will give you the best stats on the truck.
