What year were the MPC dodge trucks originally designed off of


Recommended Posts

I have the Warlock and LRE versions and noticed that the panel below the grille has parking lights and the grilles also have the parking lights,I have built the longbed 4x4 versions but since it was many years can not remember if they had the parking lights in the grille also. I think that body style came out in 72 and really do not know much about them so trying to figure out when the beginning of those kits were and just what year is the LRE and Warlock supposed to be.

The first picture answered my question,it looks like no one noticed the parking lights in the panel under the grille when they appeared in the grille or did not care to change the tooling.

Yes, the updates to the kits usually consisted of new grilles and what ever other minor tweaks and they often overlooked other details. The kits started out in 1972 and had different variations- drivetrain and bodies over the years.
