Do you have any guestimates on how many Palomino were produced? Only in Feb.of '79? Was headlights optional configuration 2 or 4? All Adventurer/SE, Prospector pkgs? rough guess is a few thousand, and less than the Lil Red. They were made between feb of 79 thru july of 79. head lights.....quad lights were standard on Adventurer SE trucks and Lil Red's in 79, and optional on all other trim levels of dodge trucks.

Can you patent a dictionary that you didn't write? 1978 Round Up-1977 Warlock-1977 Powerwagon Adven.- 1976 Blue "Macho"-1974 Charger-1968 Fury III -1966 Newport *

Quote: You said in your post that the palomino trucks were produced starting in feb of 79 but my mfg date in jan 79 all of the information that I had compiled led me to the earliest know truck being built on feb 1 of 1979. this last july I saw a beyond rusty palomino with a late jan build. It was the first one that I had ever seen that was built before feb. I am probably one of the very few that has multiples of the palomino, and has collected info on them. the prospector broshure is the only one that shows the package in it, and it is dated 3/79. Now your truck pops up. It blows my theory out of the water....yours may have been pre-production, who knows...chrysler doesn't have any info... Maybe I shouldn't have posted the info...dunno... 6175137-carlisle2010016smaller.JPG (428 downloads) Dinuba, California, Home of the PALOMINO ranch and 440 truck farm, where dodge trucks have a home.

The Guy that we bought it from. had gotten it when his dad passed away. His dad bought the truck brand new off the showroom floor. So maby that may help explain the early production date. (i'm thinking it might be a dealer display?) The guy drove the truck up until 1991 when the fuel pump went out and he parked it. It has been sitting ever since. We put a new fuel pump on it last week and it fired right up. I think it has a little over 100,000 miles on it. Hope this helps.
