Hey, DML!
<SNIP> a local resto shop has a "dude" that they are restoring.<SNIP>
The most unique trucks for '70 and `71 were the "Sweptline Special" and
"Dude" package trucks. The Sweptline Special was a ultra bare bones
short-box truck equipped with all the necessities and very few comforts.
These items include a 198ci Slant-Six mated to a 3-spd manual tranny. This
truck was sold at a lower price than those offered by competitors and
targeted the commercial or utilitarian market. On the other hand, the Dude
package was clearly more fun as far as options and looks go. A body length,
c-shaped stripe fit the contours of the Sweptline box and included the Dude
logo. This truck was based more upon paint and tape appearance upgrades
rather than comfort or engineering advancements. See the Dodge Dude Pickup
Brochure below for more information on the Dude package.
