This van is actually a 76 cause my dad had one from 1991-1999 the same color and size it a Dodge B200 Tradesman by the front and it was driving by young John Bo Duke Schneider on the film he was wearing the yellow Coors t-shirt and the only line he had was Sh** you do what you want Im staying right here. |

Only the 1976/77 had the clear front signal lights with orange bulbs. Very rare to find un-cracked. I have a 1976 B200 Tradesman and it still runs smooth and doesn't burn oil. Had to change the valve seals, clean up the valves/cylinders and intake gasket but she is nearly 100% now with 96,000 original miles. Mainly highway miles on it. Another indicator the Smokey and Bandit van was prior to 1976 is the DODGE lettering is missing on the hood. I believe this shows it is probably a 1974/75 B100 shorty as only the 1974/75 B200/300 extended MAXIVAN's had the lettering and all Tradesman's had the lettering after 1975. The 1975's were pretty much identical to the 1974's as far as I know. I've seen plenty of 1977 advertised with clear signal lenses and plenty with the orange/yellow colour. I suspect the earlier 1977 manufactured before June may be the only ones with clear and after June with the orange. If anyone can prove otherwise I'm always open to the facts. -- Last edit: 2021-01-19 11:15:44 |
