A fellow electrician where I worked, had an Air Force bought, '80 Dodge D100, one of the last half ton pickups, with a slant six and torqueflite. Power steering and brakes.
IIRC, Dodge quit making a half ton pickup in the later years, only 5/8ths ton and they all seemed to be 318's.
There's a good history of the Mopar engines on the Allpar website.
