Another truck to add info about...hopefully the pictures of the door tag numbers are clear enough to see.

Packed in sort of tight so it was difficult to get good pics.This truck had been converted over to run propane...strange looking setup,but under hood pics and interior shots came out too blurry to post.

Unfortunately the whole truck can not be bought,same story as the last Palomino I found in a junkyard.Body isn't bad overall,tailgate rough,interior is so so...I'll probably go back to buy the seat anyway just for the collection.

an older mechanic i worked with a couple decades ago had a palomino. it was pretty rusty back then but he drove it 40 miles to work everyday. dont know what happened to the truck. about that time another mechanic had a gold 73 dart with hang 10 bucket seats in it. i was driving a 77 dodge step side. not bad for a lincoln/merc dealership.

Who's keeping records of these? I posted pics of this one I found in Savannah a few years ago. I know Dyno saw it as I went back to get more pics for him.

we found a late '30s Dodge in a yard years ago. some one had started resto, pretty nice truck. same deal, couldn't buy the whole truck. so one guy bought the body, then a few days another got the frame.

Thought that may depress you a bit Sam.
It is a shame...I wish the whole truck could be bought as it is.Also I think I may have been under the impression that all these trucks had the four headlight setup in the front end or that it may have come standard on the Adventurer trim package.
Don't know...it's been a while,I think I must have forgotten most of the things I used to know...if I knew anything then.


The body is pretty good really and the bed isn't beat up,as cash permits I may go back after just about anything I can unbolt from the frame up.The decals are faded but the paint could probably just be buffed to make a fairly nice looking driver.
I will also try to get more pics.

quad lights were standard on adv se trucks... and optional on all other trucks....even the LRE..
I would be currious to see what the inside of the truck looks like option wise..
