Well, while I agree with the sentiment, it's exactly what the OP did, and on a huge soap box. Love him or Hate him, Tony is a MoPar guy. Seems he's easy pickens though for everyone to rip into, which is funny, cuz I don't thing he gives a rats ***. Though when you come out of the gate claiming someone else is an idiot, well, you sort of get what's comin'....

I don't know if it matters but from what I remember reading from the direct connection engine manual the forged 318 crank was always referred to as the truck crank and yes they were forged. I'm sure a few of them found their way into others vehicles My feeling is production 318s at various times got a truck short block or crankshaft as needed cranks were needed and extra truck cranks were available.I also remember reading that they where the strongest of all production crankshafts for the small block .
