Bob, Dodge engines of the 60's had a engine code of 318-1, 318-2, 318-3. This code indicated what grade it was,with a standard engine being (1) semi-premium (2) and full-premium (3).Sounds like you may very well have a (3)full-premium engine,well worth rebuilding.Your truck being a 1.5 ton makes it more likely it is,but the engine # will be will bear this out. As for there being a better engine for your truck,I could not begin to guess,but the dodge truck div. seem to think that was a pretty good engine for your application!
