Default Whats the deal?

Anyone have any insight to why these companies that make Lexan bodies, Do the older Chevy and Ford trucks, but there is nothing for Dodge. Ive heard reasons like , not enough demand. I think most people, even the brand loyal would jump on something different. Even if it wasn't their brand. Ive petitioned HPI, Jconcepts and Pro-line. 2 out of 3 replied with the basic email. Thanks for contacting us, ect ect ect. Is it a licensing issue? I just don't get it.

I was always under the impression that it was due to licensing. May be wrong though. I am a Dodge fan and would like to see more also.

Just a guess but I'm guessing MOPAR/Dodge is being a pita. There is plenty of current Dodge lexan bodies but no older ones seems odd.

Agreed. Too many car companies over-value their licensing fees, but would get way more publicity if the body/bodies were reproduced in lexan/styrene and still make some licensing money off the deal. Really a shame that more car companies don't get it.
