Hey everyone!

Just bought this '82 D 150 yesterday. Real solid truck. Going to be my daily driver. /6, 727. Looking forward to learn and exchange information.
Been in the car scene for a long time. Have had a couple killer mopar muscle cars but been wanting an old survivor p/u for a long time.

That is cool.....original condition by the looks.

Welcome from New Zealand
 
Thanks kiwi! It's got 66000mi on it. Ill get more pics once I get it home. Previous owner agreed to let me store it until the weather breaks. The salt and snow on the roads are just awful right now
 
Welcome. Hope that slant doesn't have the lean burn system on it. My 82 D150 Miser has grown over the years into a D350.
 
I replied this is a rare truck and my research I can find nothing a out it in these years. The mid to late 60's Dodge had across the board on the entire line White Hat Specials. In the early 80's they revived this, but the tape stripes on your truck come up no where. This may have been a dealer promotion order item not really intended for the buying public. You may have a one of one, anyone else have thoughts on this?
 
This would have been nothing new for Dodge or the dealer. Only thing really special about it would have been the eye appeal. Anything else anyone could have ordered as the market was not like today's package deals.
 
I agree. I think its a consumer " feel good tactic". Catchy graphics, chrome wheels and bumper(s), painted grill maybe.... Make you feel like you're getting a deal or something special. I still think its cool irregardless. Wierd Mopars always garner attention.
 
I have seen a few one of a kind dealer dones. Does it make them more valuable? No more than any other custom. It does make them unusual.
 
Good question. Id imagine they're weren't a whole lot of companies at the time to produce such decals(just speculating), as opposed to today. Seems like virtually every small town has several folks with the capabilities to produce such decals right out of their basement.
