Unless you are lucky enough to own one of the 74 built with the 440.

Dave you have such good taste my friend!!!

I had no idea you were a LRET fan!!!

There is one that lives close to me, I hope to meet the owner one summer day when he has it out and about!!!

The hood is different between 78 and 79, bird bath for 78 with sunken areas on both sides, flat hood on 79’s.

I think by memory the 78’s are a
Different red from the 79’s…. Close but different? Medium Canyon red and ??? Bright canyon red?

I want one so bad!!!

PS: there is another local guy with a 3-5K mile 79 and a Resto mod79 with Viper V10 and 6 speed with Pistol grip of course!!

Well, sort of. Lucky that you got a low power big motor with a sticker and wood package (optional)? Depends. You could get any engine with the Warlock since they were just based on the standard short bed D100. Dodge added popular options to it which seemed most were buying based on the custom van movement and their “Adult Toys” theme and made the Warlock package. Most were 318 trucks but again, all engine options were available. But as with the Midnite Express, no VIN to ID it as authentic like the LRE has so there’s way more on the road now than were built, more than likely.

Much like the Midnite Express trucks. No records to indicate how many made, no specific VIN, and it was built by a specific dealer that distributed them across the country. Numbers float around about them being about 200 or so. Nobody really knows.

Fascinating stuff!

Yep, always liked these, Ryan. Have been on the hunt for a while. This will be a fun one to do. Yes, couple difference between the years, but not much. Colors are 1978 Bright Canyon Red - PY3442, 1979 is Medium Canyon Red - PY3450.

Cheers
Dave
