stavanzer Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Looks like Round2 has another Movie Tie in deal. That will be the former Hogan's Hero's Jeep, with new boxart, I suspect. Hopefully that Dodge P/U is the Grail so many have wanted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope too that it is a sweptside, custom maybe means that they didn't restore the lower body (waist) side trim.

tim boyd Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 My understanding is that the D100 is a Sweptside…...possibly a SWB box (vs. the original tool LWB); I can't recall for sure the details on the box size......TIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Casey Posted November 17, 2018 Author Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) My money is on a modified reissued of the 115" wheelbase Utiline Li'l Red Express Truck kit, with the new Sweptide bed: Edited November 28, 2018 by Casey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Lil’ Reds were based on the mid range Adventurer trim. Maybe they found the bench seat interior last seen in the Monster Trucks, and they’re putting this out more as a work truck? The moldings having been removed precludes this from being put out in Adventurer SE trim, but they could still put it out as a Custom with a Sweptline bed, or, if they find the 4x4 parts, they could do a Macho Wagon eventually... ...either way, since it’s not being identified as a Lil’ Red, I think that something is afoot...

And not as "Warlock" (or Pumpin' iron, which shows a '78 as box-art, yet contains a '79) either...so it doesn't sound like their normal routine of a modernized (new tires and decals) yet retro like re-release.

426 pack Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Awesome!!!!!! I have been wanting them to release the dodge trucks for a while now. I hope it is a long box but I will be happy no matter what. From my knowledge of dodge trucks D100 only means 2wd 1/2 ton they could be short box, long box or stepside.

They could conceivably do a 2wd Warlock pretty easily, if they found the bed rails and wagon wheels... https://www.nydailynews.com/amp/autos/street-smarts/bizarre-car-week-1978-dodge-warlock-article-1.2197505 https://www.mecum.com/lots/SC0513-153852/1978-dodge-warlock-pickup/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leafsprings Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) Why a '78 D 100? Why not the earlier, and IMO, better looking '72-'73 or '74-'76? Edited November 17, 2018 by leafsprings Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The last issue of these trucks was a ‘78 Lil’ Red Express; Round 2 might also have the ‘79-‘80 Grille and hood (last seen in the “Fire Fighter” shortbed 4x4 and the “ThundersTruck” puller longbed truck). It might be that the ‘76-prior grilles are gone. If you swap to one of the earlier grilles, there isn’t much else to body changes you would need (I think just the earlier lower valence that has turn signal lights in it), so somebody could cast these in resin for a retro fit, or, if the ‘78’s sell really well, maybe Round 2 could retool these pieces...but they will likely start with what they have. I think I have seen the earlier grilles available in resin on eBay from time to time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CapSat 6 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 A ‘72 Dodge with the Racer’s Wedge rear body would be awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tim boyd Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 Again, my recollection is that it has a newly tooled Sweptside pickup box, probably SWB to match the existing chassis, and a lower trim level (not the Adventurer) IIRC. I'm sure they'll have box art fairly soon, which will confirm how much (if any) of this info is correct......TIM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The possibility of a utiline short bed is pretty cool, too!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
W-409 Posted November 17, 2018 Share Posted November 17, 2018 That Dodge D100 is definitely interesting. I'm also waiting to see what version it will be, but as I have none of them on my stash, I'll probably end up buying that reissue anyway. And that Ford C600 is a must have. Beautiful body style, I've been looking for those older issues but haven't found any in here... Now I'm very glad to see that a new version is coming.

stavanzer Posted November 18, 2018 Share Posted November 18, 2018 Cale, that is what I am betting on. Just the Bog-Standard Flat Fender, maybe, with the Big Recolless Rifle on the box art. The only other option I can imagine would be the Daisy Duke CJ-5 with Military parts from the flat fender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
