Hi: Checked the pictures out but doesnt have a really good shot of rear fenders. The back fenders should be fiberglass and have a flat area like a chevy fender. Look at all the other Californian pics we have posted and check out the rear bumper that should also match. See if there is any evidence of a snap on toneau cover. Hope this info helps. If you look at it send some pics we would be glad to see them. Other than that its not a bad truck for what there asking. |

The ad states "California Special" but I dont know what that means. Would it be a Californian? Its says it has a dealer installed 440, does anyone know anything about this? I live in Spokane, WA and this truck is not too far from me. I have a 78 power wagon but was thinking about getting this one too, or if someone else was interested I could take a look for them as well. I saw it was recently on ebay too, the asking price is $3,000. Any input would be helpful. that was a semi-local truck to where I am at. It couldn't be sold here locally for 2k 4 years ago. The truck was sold new in Hanford Ca, and was owned by an navy guy. The last owner that I knew of bought it from a navy guy as well, and painted it the burnt orange that it is now. Truck was originally black sunfire metalic, and was a "D" code truck with factory a/c. IIRC the wiring was hacked on a little, and was missing the emissions stuff for CA, which is another reason why I stayed away from it.... |

Okay, thanks for the information guys. Also, would it be a dealer installed 440? I have never heard of this before, but I am pretty new to the old dodge trucks (although I have 3 of them now, haha, i'll try to post pix soon). Iam assuming a dealer installed 440 is less desirable than a factory 440. Thanks again. |

Check the serial number the 5th digit should be a "D". Dealer installed 440- pretty slim. Very hard to prove without paper work. Good Luck with truck. |
