Thanks for the info!! Dodge trucks are not that popular in my area and if you do get lucky enough to see a 70's era one on the road it's it probably me driving it..With my junkyard adventures I have ran across a Dude II (now crushed  ),a Palomino,a '79 stepside(unknown if anything special)and have been trying to find a True Spirit someone told me about after buying my '77 Warlock ($300).The bad thing around here (maybe everywhere) is that these trucks after the drivetrain dies are seen only as scrap
metal and while no one would think of hacking a Red Express,the lesser known trucks(especially
if original paint/decals are gone)aren't quite so lucky.I would like to be able to recognize which ones around here in the yards need to be saved
or at least put the word out so they have a chance. .....A.l.
so you saw a palomino in the jy, what was it, short bed or long, 2wd or 4wd, engine trans combo, options??????

Dynotune-The Palomino I found is a long bed/2WD/ 727/small block(I assumed a 318).Stripes are faded and truck overall is kinda rough.Cab drip edge would have to be replaced,tailgate missing along with 2 wheels  ,If this was a normal truck I would consider it a decent parts donor but a Palomino is worth fixing regardless of condition due to rarity.I have tried to buy truck a few times with no luck so far (JY doesn't want to move other vehicles to get it out)I asked them if I would have to buy it piece by piece then put it back together at home  If interested I will put you in contact with JY,just don't ask about their Palomino,they dont know one from the next...like the other JY that had the Dude II,I told him that would kinda be like the "Superbird" of trucks and not to crush it but I usually dont have the $ to take them home so...Digital cam is dead right now but will try to get pics.for you. Thanks A.l

Backtracking through Palomino post again-Question
in regards to wheels and this may apply to all '79
model trucks.The 5 slot chrome(Red Express style)
wheels remain the same but with different centercaps.'78 mopar wheel centercaps push through from the back like the wagon wheels,did the '79 style have 3 small holes in them for bolts to attach the centers or are these FORD wheels? I have both styles,only seeing numbers on back.Will update with pics..

it was cheap enough, the killer for me was the shipping. I think it was like 750 or so money wise. Talked to John several times over the phone, super nice and HONEST about the truck. I too thought it was worth it, and is early production PALOMINO, feb 1 1979.
