On another thread (Back in the day pictures) I posted a couple of pictures of Dodge Dude pickup trucks.
Well, it seems that for everything there is a season. And right now, there are threads about Dude trucks at several Mopar websites all at once.
So I figured maybe it would be time to start one here!
Here's a few Dudes, that are just waiting for somebody to rescue them. The orange one is in Alberta, the red one in Montana, and the green one is in Vancouver, on craigslist.

Love the decals and Dude thing.  On one of the other threads there are the original ads posted.
This car was sold many years ago to somebody in Wisconsin. I now am retired and living in Florida.

I think he was talking about the craigslist one that is from canada that has a 454 in it.    LOL..   Stupid chevy people.  But then again. I know a chrysler guy that has a 66 Imperial with one of those very rare 440 HEMI's in it.    He knows what he is talking about and he will fight you all day on it.    Moron (the guy with the imp).

Alright so what model years were the Dude Trucks available? I want a 1969 R4 red, white interior, white Dude Stripe truck to haul my 500 to shows.

C_stripes

1970 only from what i know.  It was to match the 70 Bee.    Tell me that wouldn't be cool to see. A Hemi orange Dude with a white stripe pulling a old school looking flat bed trailer that is also Hemi orange with a 70 bee in Orange with a white C stripe.    :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5: :drool5:

Dodge Dude trucks were avaliable in 1970 and 1971.
That doesn't mean that you can't put a stripe package on an earlier Sweptline.

I think the only complaint about that was putting it on cars.

Your gonna have to do some custom work to get a white interior.In 69 you only had four choices(black,green,blue,beige).You get a fifth choice of red if it's a Canadian truck.

Alrighty then so what were the interior colors options for 1970 on the actual Dude trucks?

TUFCAT

I'd would roll in a 440 powered Dude truck.  :2thumbs:

Magnumcharger

I don't think the Dude package actually had a specific interior option, like the Adventurer package.
It was whatever suited the exterior color I believe. I could be wrong...or right...until proven wrong!
