What kind of car was a 1977 Dodge 200 tradesman?

Probably on CA 13 en route to Rte 3 to Tikal. Our steed (and our home) for the Mexico/Guatemala trip was a 1977 Dodge 200 Tradesman van that Bob had bought new. She was dubbed “Rocinante II”. No shifting problems here, thanks to its 318 (about 5200 cc) V8 and Torqueflite automatic.

How tall is the Dodge 200 Tradesman van?

The Dodge never let us down–remarkable, considering that after we got back to Chicago we found the timing had been set at 15 degrees AFTER top dead center! No wonder it didn’t like to get going in Mexico City’s chilly mornings at 7,500 feet (2280 m) altitude!

How big is the Dodge Tradesman van in Guatemala?

Guatemala’s monsoon rains and unpaved roads were a mudder’s dream–but not so much for us, with our 6,500 pound (3,000 kg) van. We carefully observed other vehicles traversing the muddy bits before we attempted doing the same.

Where can I find a Dodge Tradesman van?

It’s located in Sioux Falls, South Dakota and can be found here on eBay, and the Buy-It-Now price is $16,995. The Chrysler Corporation called this a “Tradesman” van.

What was the wheelbase of the Dodge Sportsman?

Dodge marked the 127-inch-wheelbase Sportsman series and “Van” to the local governments as personnel carriers, emergency vehicles, and cargo van. * These figures were the same as in 1992 – but other figures were all different.

What kind of window does a Dodge Sportsman have?

Dark gray privacy glass (as well as normal tinted glass) was a new option on Sportsman five and eight passenger wagons and vans. The refresh continued for the 1978 vans, with a rear and interior reskin. Bigger windows were fitted, thanks to a lower beltline; the 127 inch wheelbase vans saw their doors move forward.
