1983 Dodge W350 For Sale

1983 Dodge Ram W350 4x4 Pickup Truck.

This ‘83 Dodge Ram W350 is part of the Dodge D-Series of trucks, which Dodge produced from 1960 all the way until 1993. The 350 was the heavy duty, or one-ton variant of the 1st Generation Dodge Ram which was introduced for the 1981 model year

Offered in Standard Cab like this example, as well as Extended Cab (Club Cab), and Crew Cab bodies, buyers could get both a rear wheel drive and all wheel drive versions, designated as “D” and “W,'' respectively. This truck’s W350 moniker tells us this one is driven by all four wheels. 

Dodge outfitted the W350 with a range of both gasoline and diesel engines, including the 5.9L (360 cubic inch) V8 in this 350. Both manual and automatic transmission options were offered for the 1st Generation Dodge Ram 350, which was built until 1993, when Dodge introduced the 2nd Generation Ram.
