I have all the parts to put together the same thing, from several different trucks, and would give a GRMer a heck of a deal.

Gawd, there was a 360 with a four speed for sale in St. Louis a few weeks ago, too...

I love me some shortbed Dodge.

Out of all the classic trucks out there, these are damn near the top of my want list. I would love to get one.

A friend of mine has a '72, and his has a 440 and a 4-speed. It rules.

Bonus points for- they don't seem to rust out like the old Fords and Chevys seem to. I had an 87 D250 and that thing was used as a plow truck for near a decade when I bought it. Frame and most of the body were still great. In New England, that's almost unbelievable.

Oh, they rust...

I flew out to the Cali High Desert to drive that silver '78 back home.

I love first gens, I have a "couple" currently. Straight rust free ones are like hens teeth.

Not sure where your info is taken from but both Plymouth Arrows were available concurrently and there have always been dodge pickups. There was no "gap" from 1970 to 1978 when the d50 came along.

Unless I misunderstand your post...

This appears to be some sort of bot or spammer, as the entire post is a copy and paste from the first paragraph on This Page On Allpar

I think the original author on Allpar meant that that MoPar didn't have a compact or downsize truck after the A100, though the A100 was far from tiny. The text is also incorrect since the Mitsu Lancer based Arrow and Fire Arrow automobiles came out in 1976, while the D-50 and Arrow pickup didn't appear until 1979.

But enough about that, MOAR Dodge trucks!

This is one I accidentally found in Portland a couple years ago and had to drive back again to bring it home.

The place I worked at was the depot for all Government vehicles being sold on the east coast, those crew cab 2WD long box trucks in army green with a slant six five speed were going for $1,000.

As the Gubbyment started down sizing, they gave State organizations like EnCon, DOT etc., these instead of making their budget bigger.

It did everything well except parallel park and U turns.

This one is an 80K mile rust free high desert Idaho truck that is loaded with a 440,Cruise control, and A/C. It is my 4th Crew Cab Dodge, and the turning radius is surprisingly good. I daily drive it in the summer. Yes, I parallel park it, as well.

Still waiting to see what oldopelguy has for sale, though. In the interim, here is a '78 Poptop Ramcharger from Idaho I am planning on converting to 2wd.

In reply to Cooter:

When you parallel park it do you have to buy two spaces or will it fit into one?

In reply to Billy_Bottle_Caps:

So do I. That is why I had a friend wire me out the money to buy it on the spot, and why I had to come home (I was already picking up a car that I bought in Wyoming on the way back), and drive back out to Portland couple months later just to bring it home to Chicago. I bought from the original owner's son in law after the owner passed away. The kid put those dinky mirrors on it, and a cheap chrome "dress up" kit on the engine, but nothing irreversible.

Just one. It isn't much longer than my '73 Imperial. And everyone knows how small that car is.
