I was doing some research before I bought my Warlock, to try to find out why it didn't come in a standard cab/ACTUAL full size bed of 8', instead of the current "full size" bed being 6'4, if it was called a "Classic". To me, the classic trucks are actual trucks with actual full size beds (8') unless you ordered them with a stubby. (For the record, Stubby is 6'4, and Super Stubby is the 5' and change size).I really like the look of the Warlock. I wish they made it in a single cab. It would be really wicked looking! Nice trucks everyone!
But even more important than you joining the Ram family, it looks even better being a part of the Warlock clan (just kidding). Welcome on both counts!I'm a new RAM owner, as of today, and a new member here. Traded in my 2019 4Runner for a new 2021 Warlock with tow package and 5.7L. Was considering a Tundra, but the test drive left me singularly unimpressed. Very happy with my new rig!
All that being said, I miss the Warlock stickers, damn it! Went back and talked to the dealer I bought the truck from the other day about some other questions/concerns I had on the truck, and they told me, they ordered them specifically without the "Warlock" name on the outside because of concerns due to Political Correctness.... "Oh no, some people might be offended if I have a sticker on MY truck that says "Warlock" on my truck! Too bad, I am sorry you get offended so easily."
Thanks, d00d! After spending some time here, I'm ****** that my truck didn't come with the front tow hooks! Oh well, with all the deer in my area, I'll probably be switching to a battleship-armor winch bumper that will come with multiple attachment points.But even more important than you joining the Ram family, it looks even better being a part of the Warlock clan (just kidding).

I'm also going to go with 18" wheels and real A/T tires. The snow and mud here can be impressive at times. Anyone need a set of new factory 20s with new OEM rubber? I'm in SW Colorado.

My budget precluded getting a Warlock, but did allow for enough accessories to make my Tradesman "sort of" look like one. I decided to call mine a "Warhawk" instead… I created the artwork and had a local sign shop cut them for me.
You dont see very many 70s warlocks. I have only seen a handful in my life. The little red wagons I see more at shows. I did see a really clean PW at cars and coffee a few weeks ago.Me personally, if you are going to go with alternate wheels (I am too, the 20s just ride too damn rough), I would go with the size at least that COULD have come on the truck, 17's. I was originally planning to "factory" outfit mine with what I really wanted (long story, I know) and have it put on as it SHOULD have come from the factory, 17" wheels, tow hooks, fog/driving lights, etc. But after seeing a bunch of the aftermarket offerings out there, found a set of Fuel wheels I think would look even better on Big Blue (Hydro Blue Warlock, and it is taller/bigger than my Silverado).
You are the first person (other than me) that I have seen spell "DOOD" right, well, almost right.
The originals (Warlocks) back in the 70s were single(standard) cab short bed. Also was out the same time as the Lil' Red Express and a bunch of others. Usually they were black with certain gold trim and paint accents, but according to my research before, they did offer other colors.

One thing I noticed about the factory WARLOCK stickers is they appear to have an outline around the lettering of clear plastic. Not sure if you took that into account, but if you didn't, if you really want that "factory" look, you could get them made with that as well, possibly. I want to get very close to paint color lettering made instead of the black lettering it comes with normally, sort of like a ghost image, but with that clear edge on them so it looks so close to factory except for the color.
Either way, looks cool as hell dood. I see you kept the same font in the new WARHAWK design as well. Awesome!
The only ones I have EVER seen have been through checking out the history of the name. FOR SALE ones, article/search pics, etc.You dont see very many 70s warlocks.

I have seen a few at shows like autorama and I saw one at a local show. They are really cool!The only ones I have EVER seen have been through checking out the history of the name. FOR SALE ones, article/search pics, etc.
My local sign shop guy doesn't have the ability to reverse-print (on the underside of the clear vinyl before the adhesive is added), so I went with cut letters on satin black instead.One thing I noticed about the factory WARLOCK stickers is they appear to have an outline around the lettering of clear plastic.

I strongly doubt that dealer was speaking truthfully. I'm not really into all the problematic culture stuff but some of my work is corporate communications and that means I have to be aware of trends in language. The idea isn't to be insufferably PC but we'd like to do business with everybody and that goal isn't met when we call somebody by the wrong name. Warlock simply means a witch who is male, same idea as actor/actress, duke/duchess.. in other words it's a title rather than a characteristic (like race, nationality, etc) which is a crucial difference in how we talk with people.Went back and talked to the dealer I bought the truck from the other day about some other questions/concerns I had on the truck, and they told me, they ordered them specifically without the "Warlock" name on the outside because of concerns due to Political Correctness. That PC crap needs to go away.
Looks like the only additional letter you would have had to make would be the H. Everything else is already in WARLOCK. Would just have to copy/move stuff around.My local sign shop guy doesn't have the ability to reverse-print (on the underside of the clear vinyl before the adhesive is added), so I went with cut letters on satin black instead.

I couldn't find an exact match for the Warlock font, but it wasn't too hard to create the missing letters with Adobe Illustrator. Thanks for the compliment!

When I was a kid my dad got all bent out of shape because "Dead End" signs were being changed to "Not A Through Street" signs because he was certain some PC initiative was victimizing all those poor Dead End signs dangit! But the reality is that "Dead End" is jargon and "Not A Through Street" is more precise language. Nothing to do with PC, no need to get mad about it, just improvements because things only get better if we make them so.
I'm guessing that they don't order trucks with the Warlock stickers because some pencil pusher figured out that the average stickered Warlock truck spends 19 days on the lot before it sells and the average unstickered Warlock truck spends 15 days on the lot before it sells and that's all it took to make them change. Really no different from how Youtubers will upload a video with one name and thumbnail then change the name and thumbnail an hour later if they think it will change the performance metrics even a little bit.
Replaced tires and wheels. The factory-supplied stuff never appealed to me. Went with 18 X9 Fuel wheels and slightly shorter LT tires. The improved road handling by itself made this worth while. But I like the new look, too.
