kscarbel2 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 Planeta Camion In 1960, the first national Chryslers began to be manufactured in Argentina. These were the D-400 trucks equipped with locally produced engines and gearboxes. In 1978, Chrysler makes its last effort to try to adapt to a market that demanded increasingly powerful trucks. The old formula of the Perkins diesel engine no longer worked, and Chrysler decided to follow the new trend of offering turbocharged diesel engines. At that time, the only engine option in Argentina was the German Deutz engine, thus the Dodge DD-1000 was born. It’s components consisted of a rubber floor mat with insulation, turns signals, emergency flasher light, armrests on both doors, heater and defroster, adjustable vent windows on both doors, a hydraulically-suspended driver’s seat, radio, vinyl upholstery and basic instrumentation. The DD-1000 was produced from 1978 to 1980. On May 5, 1980, the purchase of Chrysler-Fevre materialized, resulting in Volkswagen Argentina. As a result, the Dodge truck line was discontinued.

TS7 Posted February 11, 2019 Share Posted February 11, 2019 I wonder why they used that style cab? 1960 D cab? Were they building this style D cab medium duty truck in Mexico too in 1978? Dodge stopped building D400 - D800 in NA in 1977, built in Canada I think. What do think Kscarbel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree with you that, since they were building the later 3rd generation D-Series cab in Mexico, Argentina with smaller volumes (than Chrysler Mexico) built the older 1st/2nd generation D-Series cab. They didn't have two sets of tooling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
