First generation (1961-65)
Series D uses a familiar Chrysler B engine in the displacements of 290 cu in , 320 cu in , and 347 cu in as the base model, depending on in the year of. All of the larger Chrysler engines, with the exception of the Chrysler Hemi engine, are available as factory options.
In addition to a straight bed (called Sweptline), Series D also offers a side-sidewalls narrow bed (called Utiline) at 6.5 ft (2.0 m) (only D-100), 8 m (2.4 m) D-100). 100 and 200), and 9 ft (2.7 m) (D-300 only) long.
Another innovation is the introduction of alternators rather than generators for electric power. The three-speed automatic transmission is a major advancement - the truck uses two automatic speeds less than a decade earlier.
Yet another innovation, cabin body style (four-door) was introduced in 1963, the first for a Dodge pickup factory. The crew's previous cabin is a dedicated conversion job.
The first generation of D-series was produced in Warren, Michigan. They were given the Dodge and Fargo brands. The trucks were produced by the Chrysler Dodge Corporation Division.
Special and Specialized Sports Special Packages

The optional High Performance Package can be ordered by CSS truck or by itself on a basic model truck complete with chrysler 426 cu in wedge-head V8. This engine produces 365 hp (272 kW) and 470 lbÃ, Â · ft (637 NÃ,m) - in line with the muscle car revolution that then sweeps Detroit. The High Performance package also includes a LoadFlite automatic transmission, a 6000 rpm solar tachometer with a heavy duty gauge, power steering, dual exhaust and rear torsion rod (traction bar) sourced from 1961 Imperials. Custom Sports Special trucks were produced from 1964 to 1967. High Performance Packs were only offered from 1964 to early 1966. Second generation (1965-71) Second generation > 1965-67
The D series was slightly redesigned in the spring of 1965, so there were two lamps and four model lights entitled 1965s. Updates for mid-'65 include a wider tailgate and replacement A series engine with an updated LA series, as well as a six-inch wheelbase stretch on the 8 foot (2.4 m) bed model. In 1967, the D Series truck received a large block of 383 2-barrels as a standard option.
From 1965 to early 80s, D series trucks were assembled in Warren, Michigan by Chrysler Corporation. The foreign model is produced by Automotive Equipment Group (?????????????????) in Israel at the new plant located in Nazareth-I'llit: Automotive Industries (??? ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Series D market is well built for the civilian market and for the Israeli army, the model is the D100 & D200 light truck, the D500 truck and the D600 truck with a straight-six engine and has an on- demand four-wheel drive There is also a bus version made (especially for army use) This bus is a 20-seat bus built on a D500 truck chassis using a four-straight engine with front and rear hydraulic doors, as well as a complete D500, front and dash.
1968-71
The 1968 model received a new front grille - two rows each of four holes. The new Adventurer trim package replaces the old Special Sports Special; in essence, it includes a padded front seat with vinyl trim (either full bench or bucket with console) and carpet, plus other advantages such as extra chrome trim and polite lighting. This generation continues to be built in South Africa as well. Sold as D300 or D500, the lighter model receives 225 Slant-Six, while the heavier D500 has 318 Ci V8. Power output 127 and 177Ã, hp (95 and 132Ã, kW) (net) respectively, SAE claims are 140 and 212Ã, hp.

Third generation (1972-80)
The redesign of Series D for 1972 introduces a more rounded look. This redesign, which lasted until the 1980s with minor changes, included new features such as independent front suspension and pocket rear lights (typical reverse-on-top lamps hidden up to 0.25 in (6.4 mm) to avoid damage to loading dock and limited space). The styling cues, such as the toothed hood and rounded fenders, are similar to those of a rounded and smooth Plymouth Plymouth 1971 satellite. These trucks are built with large quantities of galvanized steel to withstand rust and corrosion, making it extremely durable.
Dodge pioneered an extended cabin pickup with the introduction of Club Cab with a 1973 model. Available with 6.5 ft (2.0 m) or 8 ft (2.4 m) Sweptline beds, Club Cab is a two-door cabin with a small rear window that has more room at the back of the chair than a standard cab, but not during the cabin crew of four doors. An inward leap seat is available, providing space for 5 passengers. In 1974, the machine was introduced as an option for light trucks, as well as the Dyna-Trac dual-rear-wheel option on the D300 pickup with a weight of 10,000 pounds (4,500). Ã, kg) GWVR.
D-Series 1972 became famous on the Emergency !, where the D300 chassis cabin is the paramedic lifesaving vehicle for all seven seasons.
The leading models generated during this era were 1978-1979 Li'l Red Express , Warlock , Macho Power Wagon , Macho Power Wagon Upper Hand , Macho Power Wagon Palomino , and Adventurer . The Dodge Macho Power Wagon Palomino's color is just like a Palomino horse. (Note: All Li'l Red Express Trucks are Adventurous, though not vice versa). Another rare model is the Midnite Express, available for the 1978 model only. The truck is equipped like a Li'l Red Express with a pile of exhaust, wheels, and gold pinstriping. Midnite Express is painted black instead of red and features a Midnite Express Truck sticker on the door. Most Midnite Express trucks are powered by 440 engines instead of 360 like Li'l Red Express. All these trucks are considered a "lifestyle pickup" and are marketed to audiences who want special trucks and personal use.
The 1978 model also saw the introduction of the first Diesel-powered Dodge pickup truck. Available as an economic option in light duty trucks and the B-Series van is Mitsubishi's 6DR5 4.0 L inline six-cylinder naturally-aspirated diesel, rated at 105 hp (78 kW) at 3500 rpm, and ~ 230 N Â · m (~ 169 lbÃ, Â · ft ) at 2200 rpm. Diesel uses a standard Dodge manual and automatic transmission through a special adapter plate made with the LA V8 bolt pattern. This rare factory choice, VIN code H, is the result of the fuel crisis and collaboration of Chrysler and Mitsubishi. The engine, although credible and has a much better economy than any other engine in the Dodge lineup at the time, suffers from low power output and is considered underpowered by American standards, although previously used in Japan 3.5 ton cab-over Mitsubishi T44 Jupiter Truck and in industrial applications. Because of the low sales, it was removed quickly, and as a result, it became a year-old special practice.
Thousands of D Series trucks entered military service as the CUCV M880 series.
Dodge Ram (1981-93)
This last generation was confronted in 1981 when Series D was rebadged as a Dodge Ram pickup around when Lee Iacocca took over the ailing Chrysler Corporation. Things like that include the name "DODGE RAM" embossed on the tailgate along with other obvious changes like grille and hood, rear lights, and the entire interior. More subtle is the addition of a "shoulder" line that reminds the GM competition. Starting in 1982, even more stainless steels were used in truck construction. This body style continued until 1993 and many of these vehicles were still on the way. Many body panels can be exchanged for all models from 1972-1993, so it is not uncommon to see "hybrids" with, for example, 1978 grille mounted with a 1974 hood and a 1991 cab. Sometimes beds are swapped in truck-style boxes moving for a model like this. In most areas, this year is determined by the year of the truck chassis regardless of the body that has been bolted there. Also housed is a narrow Util bed that dates back to the 1940s; this was dropped in 1985. Throttle-body injection was introduced in 1988.
More narrower engine ranges are offered: basic power plants are 225  ° c at (6.7Ã,  ° C) 6-slope, now with top-fed hydraulic tappets, and 318 cu at (5.2 L) and 360 cuà , In (5.9). Ã, L) LA-series V8. Slant-6 was replaced by 3.9 L (237Ã,  ° C) in V6 for 1988; in 1992 and V8 became Magnum machines. The 6BT 5.9Ã, L (360Ã, cuÃ, in) 12-Valve Cummins B Series diesel engine became an option in 1989.
Good sales during the Sweptline era and until the late 1970s. The combination of stagnant styles of nearly two decades plus brand loyalty especially to Chevrolet and Ford during the 1980s and 1990s reduced the volume of sales for the first generation Dodge Ram. The completely new Dodge Ram was released for the 1994 model.
