I've got a slant six 86 Ram W100 out in the drive that has done more work than most trucks. I've personally been witness to it plowing 4ft of snow and hauling beds full and overflowing of top soil, and numerious full bed loads of cut firewood. It was never short on power or torque with the 435, not to mention when needed the low range in 4wd.
I really wish the Ohio winters hadn't been so hard on the truck. The thing only has 32,000 miles on it which are verified, my dad bought the truck new. I'd love to fix the thing but I believe it's just too late.
One thing I'm not sure of is I was researching this thing a few months back and there are a few things about this truck that if you look at all information it shouldn't exist. Unless the information isn't correct.
