bought a truck

[41husk]

I don't really need it, but the teachers aid in my rooms step-father passed away and he had a 1987 Dodge long bed 4x4 pick up.  Well maintained 100k miles rebuilt transfer case, a few scratches around the bed but no rust.  I will get some pictures up as soon as I can.  I may give it to my daughter or just hang on to it in case my truck goes under   It was a good deal, but I realy need to stop buying things I don't need

wow, if thats all there is to it i would have decoded these all along

[41husk]

Just trying to find out what engine.  I have a 3.8 V8 from one decoder and a 3.1 V8 from another?

[Charger 1]

8th digit of the vin = T = 318

[41husk]

Thanks Charger 1,  She was telling me the gas milage was terrible.  I was thinking it was a 383.  I still have not seen the truck in person.  It looks like it is in good shape.  I will find out Monday or Tuesday after I pick it up.

A 383 in 1987.....I kinda doubt that unless it was swapped in. A 318 isn't so bad & much better than a V6 when in a pickup truck that may tow something.

Pictures needed.
