What year did the club cab come out?
#15
History Lesson:
1978 and 1979 Dodges came with a 6 cylinder NISSAN diesel, which, unlike the Cummins was available in even a 1/2 ton package.
I've seen several, in fact a friend of mine still owns a (repowered) '79 Extended Cab 2wd version.
The Mitsubishi trucks, as well as D-50, or Arrow, mini-trucks used a Turbo-Charged Mitsubishi 4 cylinder Diesel from about 1981 through '85(?).
I have HEARD of 1991 Cummins trucks with the updated computer in the fender, but have yet to actually see one in person, much less one thats a pre-production (meaning made when they weren't supposed to be) Extended Cab truck.
Chrysler had a habit of sending what's called "Pilot" vehicles out when technically they were just test mules for setting up the line in pre-production runs.
Many are usually destroyed.
Mark.

The first Club Cab trucks
Hello, everyone
I know this is an older thread but I love reading up on truck history.
Dodge first came out with the club cab back in 1972 (1973 for CANADA).
My father still has his 1974 Dodge Club Cab 1/2 ton 4x4 - back then they even put the "Power Wagon" name plate on the hood.
Dodge toyed with diesels back in 1984 by placing a small 4-cyl detroit - that lasted for onr model year - I know I test drove one.
In 1989, Dodge placed the cummins turbodiesel into there full size trucks.

The Nissan SD33 (similar physical size) came IH Scouts toward the late 70's.
