How to Buy a Classic Dodge Truck
- 1). Look for a pre-1961 Dodge truck for a tough, simple work truck with distinctive styling.
- 2). Consider a 1961 to 1971 Sweptline truck for the classic Dodge truck. These trucks are sill quite plentiful today. Most came equipped with the hardy 318 V-8.
- 3). Look for the 'Dude' option package found on 1970-71 trucks. This option consists of bold graphics and paint.
- 4). Consider a Power Wagon for the ultimate 4x4 truck. Dodge started selling these trucks (model WM-300) shortly after World War II, and continued to sell these tough military-derived trucks until 1968.
