I just talked to her and offered $2500.00 for it, it's going to cost me a $1000 just to get if here. She said she's to going to wait and see if she can get some takers at the price she has it at now. So we'll see if I get a call....

How rare are 440 traildusters, pretty rare?

........macho78 asked "How rare are 440 traildusters, pretty rare?"............

According to Author/Photographer "Monty Montgomery" in a Book called " Dodge Pickups" Edited by Don Bunn, there were "74" 440 engine, 1978 1/2 ton pickups built. He goes on to say that there were "more Pickups built in '78 than any other year"...........
My speculation would be there were more '78 RamChargers built than '78TrailDusters. I would say RC & TD also had banner sales too like the pickups.
I have seen quite a few of the 440 RamChargers from '74-'78. Not many in '78.
My simple factory build ratio is about one Plymouth TrailDuster to three Ramchargers built in the first edition RC & TD SUV. The RamChargers and TrailDusters were all built on the same production line at different factory sites over the first edition run ('74-'78). Just model insignias and trim were changed on the production line when assembling.

....How rare is a '78 Ply TD 440"?.... The Chrysler Archives burnt up in a fire for those exact year records. So my answer has to be speculative...... Very Rare!

I wish she would take my $2500 I offered. It only went up to $1900 on ebay when it was on there.

wow. nice truck for sure. i like it...too bad im broke.
