I know about the R/T cars from the 60's and 70's, as well as the R/T trucks from the 2000's up. - Anyone have any knowledge about a 1986 D150 R/T?

i don't believe such a truck exists. I think RT trucks only came about after the 2000s.

I've never heard of such a truck, Chrysler was known to do some strange things before. Would love to know if such a truck exist!

I'm thinking the Warlock was the only special edition in the 80's wasn't it?
But think about it, in the 80's most modded trucks were lifted up high with huge tires, the only lowered one's you saw were the Hispanic low rider crowd.

That truck there (which is bad *** in my opinion) is a 77 or 78 according to the grill. The warlock and Little Red Express were special trucks in 1978 and 79. The Little Red Express was the fastest American production vehicle in 1978 to tell you how bad the EPA ruined our cars at the time.

Makes sense, that was about the time of Lee Majors TV show the "Stuntman" wasn't it? Remember his way lifted truck and how it sparked a fad in lifted trucks too?

c437_1.jpg Here's a truck I put together in the early 2000's to mimic The Little Red Express but as you can see I painted mine Sublime Green. It had the 318 with a street Hemi cam and a 4 speed Pistol Grip shifter. Had a thermoquad 4 barrel carburetor for all you old school that may remember them.

Yes, and a show called Simon & Simon with the raised up Power Wagon I think was a 1979 model.

Yes, Gerald McCray's first TV show, can't remember his gayish brother's name though? Never really did anything after that show did he?
