In the movie Bright Angel there is a 69-71 D200 in several scenes early in the movie. Lots of other old cars including a beat up primered Cuda convertible.

Saw a trailer for a new movie coming out about the California wine business and how it got rolling in the early 70's.

There is a pie plate swepty featured as one of the farm trucks.

The movie Programmed to Kill features a 68 long bed with a 69-71 light-duty rear bumper and a cut off 3 hole mirror post. At the end of the movie a medium-duty 4 headlight truck gets hit with a rocket from a hand held rocket launcher. It might even be a 61. :pale

On an episode of Dragnet a guy who killed someone drives a Yellow 65 or 66 D100. The tailgate appears unusual. It has the guy's business and phone number in the center and doesn't look like the Dodge letters are stamped in it. The show was filmed in 67 so the flat tailgates weren't out yet. Maybe something was screwed over the center. :thinking

Funny you should mention that. I was reading on Moparts, after I posted this, about some shows like The Beverley Hillbillies and Adam 12 have a lot of the car emblems removed or covered. Adam 12 was produced by Jack Webb who also stars in and produced Dragnet. I never thought about that being a possibility until I read that. They do mention the make of certain vehicles when they are talking about the vehicle driven by the suspect. I knew ahead of time that I was going to see a Yellow Dodge pickup because it was mentioned. I was hoping it would be a Sweptline.
