I asked my dad about them because he worked at a small dealership at the time. He just laughed and said they were both swapped out for big blocks at the dealership, they had only sold 2.

Does anyone know if the fender decals are reproduced? I'd like some for my Cummins swap.

There are turbo retro fit kits for them, one of my co-workers has one and several spare engines. They don't hold up well turbo'd

Look on eBay under decals, boat names and find a digital house that'll custom make you darn near anything. I had custom made names done for my boat (two of them, multicolor) and it was like $15.00 delivered! That was a place out of California.

There was a diesel 1978 Dodge 3/4 ton 4x4 for sale near me around 12-15 years ago. My Dad and I looked at it, it was clean and straight, thought it would be a neat addition to our '70s Dodge truck collection on the farm, and he liked diesel engines, but ultimately we didn't need it and it was pretty weird...:)
