a burb wouldnt be hard to do proline allready makes a 72 pickup at least you have a starting point. this guy didnt ask about any other truck then a old dodge so why not just leave the thread to the guys who want old dodges.

Well, the fact that they have the 70's Ford and the 80's Chevy is what really got this going. WTF? Where's the old Dodges? Ya know?

Talking circa 1990 Lexan Dodge Stepside

I've got an old Dodge body. Somebody has a mold for it...
It's a stepside stadium truck, like a Lil' Red Wagon,
with a roll bar and spare tire instead of stacks...


I'll post pics later...

Lil Red Express (one of the Dodge "adult toys" of the later 70's which also included my favorite the "Macho Powerwagon"

This is an MRP stadium truck body. I got this somewhere around 1990.

Hmm let me see a closer up 3/4 shot from the front I can't see if the fenders are curved in the front/sides of the truck. From what I can see it actually looks like a stepside K10 chevy to me. the fenders drop like slabs on the side instead of the curve/bow that the side of the Dodge has





the grill is also very similar to the 1985 K10

I've got 4 of these NIP from BoLink. I had 15 of them pulled at BoLink in Dec. They are only about a 7.5" WB, and 13" total length.
I have a friend at BoLink, and they will still pull body's from their old molds, if I order enough. They come with window mask, but no stickers.

That's cool. The yellow/black one looks like a mishmash of a few trucks. Not quite Dodge enough for me...

I jave to agree with you R2J. I'd like to see a 76 to 85 bodystyle AMC Jeep CJ5 and a 95 to 99 Toyota Tacoma Two Door Reg Bed. And yes I'd like to see an early Dodge too.

Thumbs up

I would give my lef..........well , I would buy a few Dodges ,70s or 80s just to help get the ball rollin.
Hell , I would love a mid to late 60s Dodge pickup body , but Im sure no one would ever make one.
My first car was a 77 Power Wagon swb that I still have along with a 78 crew cab swb and a 78 Ramcharger.
Count me in.
