i have an 81 im trying to sell and i need to know what size and how much it can pull
 
The 81 dodge d150 has a 5.7 litre engine and can pull up to 9500lbs that is the towing capacity.
 
It's probably a 318 but might be a 360, check for under hood stickers for belt routing or spark plug gap and timing, vacuum hose routing, etc., they will tell you the engine size.

If a V-8 about 5000 pounds will be the maximum it will pull and that's at the bumper, a receiver hitch might get you another 1000 pounds.

Manual transmissions will pull better and last longer than an automatic.
