Hello, I was just wondering if Dodge made a 2500 series during the years 2000 - 2002, with a diesel, 2WD, a regular cab and a sport bed (short)?

Although I've never seen a regular cab 2wd 24 valve truck, I would bet they made them. You could never get a short bed with a regular cab though in a 2500. They did make a Sport package which got the painted bumpers, grill and body side moldings.

I'd figure you'd see a lot of them in KS. They're not as common as 4X4s or Quad Cabs, but they're out there. I've seen quite a few in OK. As far as a factory shortbed with a Cummins - nope. Chrysler never built any. Don't forget the Sport package also had painted tail lights. The body side moldings were optional.

Thank you guys for the information. I didn't know about the sport package, so I'll have to look for one. I've always liked the body style and I'm just pondering the purchase of a low mileage one, for hauling and driving.

No problem. If you really want a short bed, you have to get a Quad Cab. That's what I have. So you know what you're looking at, below are the standard and Sport versions of these trucks.





BTW, only the 99-02 Sports looked like this. The 94-98 Sports had standard grilles and bumpers that were painted instead of chrome.

I appreciate the pics! I do like the top one. I'm not so sure about the "Sports Package" look - I dig the chrome grille

I've always liked the Sport version trucks better than the regular. Thought they just look cleaner. Here's a pic of my old '02, and one of my current '03.

Mine was a 2002 QuadCab with HO 5.9, 6 speed, 2wd, Dana with 3.54 LSD and full tow package. The picture is of the truck doing what it did best. That is a '77 1 ton single axle with 440 on the trailer.

There are aftermarket versions of the Sport grille in chrome, but you have to use the matching bumper. The Sport grille is taller than a standard one, and the bumper has a recess molded in to compensate.

That silver 02 is sweet! I have only seen three silver Sport trucks in real life. I have all the parts to make mine just like it, but they need to be painted. It would look like a dalmation otherwise.
