My 85 D100 318 has a 904, and I am pretty sure it came there, based on how everything looks there. Pre 80 I would agree on most everything having a 727, not sure about the \6, only 727 one I have ever seen was in a factory taxi car. Pan shape will definitely tell you, lock- ups came later, looked same tho. I did have a 92 Dakota 318 that from the factory had a 518 (overdrive 727), thought that odd, reg cab/short no trailer tow or other HD equipment. It takes gasoline to interest me.

In the 80's chrysler started using the 904 based transmissions alot more in the truck/van line because of fuel economy becoming a more pressing issue. Probably cheaper per transmission as well to mfg.

They say there are no such thing as a stupid question. They say there is always the exception that proves the rule. Don't be the exception.
