Rockford Files- Season 2 Episode 20 Where's Houston? features a good drive-by of a 68 D100 right after the beginning credits end.

I couldn't make out if it had the wipers meet in the middle of the windshield like a '68 does.Wildergarten wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 1:40 pmCouldn't make out the ersatz hood louvers.soopernaut wrote: ↑Sun Jul 24, 2022 6:06 amI don't know what you are seeing, but that is clearly a 68.
However, I did see that it has the name plate on the door just behind the mirror under the vent window. I "think" that it was Custom? OR something like that? Was that a nameplate they used in '68 or '69???

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
That wide, straight, side trim was NEVER used on a 69. The hood clearly is 3 sections, with the center lower than the sides and straight across on the lower edge - 1 yr only - 68. Fender emblem is 68 and earlier, not 69-71 style. Front bumper is 68 and earlier style, not 69-71. Dash is raised for the gauges, not straight across as in 69-71.

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
I think you mean '69. That trim is late 65-68.

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
This was on TV, as it was shown on PBS. The Iowa state fair truck and tractor pulls featured a Sweptline.
@ 38 seconds in the video.

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
The movie Back to Back aka American Yakuza features a 71 D200 that is pretty beat up and missing the grille. It looks to be a 383 w/ A/C. The main character drives it throughout the movie.

Yeah... why would the mirror attach to the bottom of the vent window? Weird!Wildergarten wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 1:56 pmPretty goofy looking West Coast mirror mounting.

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
In movies, the mirrors are adjusted to not cause glare, or result in a camera or crew/equipment or other unwanted reflection. Seldom are they shown as you would see them normally. Been there, done that with six of my vehicles in film over the past ten years or so.Wildergarten wrote: ↑Mon Sep 12, 2022 1:56 pmPretty goofy looking West Coast mirror mounting.

Re: Dodge Trucks in the movies and TVs
Saw a Swepty on "Call me Kat" tonite. The episode name is "Call me Skeeter Juice"
There is a dog food commercial as a part of the plot and in the commercial a guy gets out of a red Sweptline. I think it's a quad headlight truck, hard to tell from the angle.

This one must have been mentioned but I have to bring the race car haulers from Mongoose and the Sake movie back up. Very cool.
