Did the AMT 80 Dodge D50 ever come with steel wheels and caps or side stripe decal
The first issue (called just "Dodge D-50", molded in black) had factory lower body graphics. None ever had hubcaps, but as I recall the ones in the Datsun pickup were "close enough" *NM*
Thanks, looks like I need to dig thru my stash *NM*

That is exactly the perfect use for my spare set of Black Widow wheels! I'll have to research hubcaps. I have plans to do all the mini pickup kits available, all in base stock form. *NM*
Bob, if you're going to use caps may I suggest not "wasting" those 6 lug wheels. Save them for an exposed wheel project. If you're using caps use any old wheel. My 2ยข *NM*
Food for thought. Thanks Rich! *NM*
Rich, did find some pics with body color rims, small black center cap with exposed lugs. *NM*
The spoke wheels ARE correct for stock; they just don't need to be plated, and they do need to be narrowed on the backside and narrower tires fitted *NM*
I wonder if a set of six slot wheels would look good on that. It looks like they are a five bolt wheel but with a set of caps on them, I'll bet they'd look sweet on that little D-50. *NM*
Think the D-50.had six-lugs. The kit has one molded to a narrow tire for the spare tire. If one had four of the kits.... *NM*
Or a good resin caster! Same goes for AMT's 90's Ranger kits. *NM*
Don't at least one if those spares have the "retainer" molded as part of it. I had those stupid cable tire carriers on both of my Dakotas...never understood how the manufacturers stuck with those wretched things *NM*
Re: Did the AMT 80 Dodge D50 ever come with steel wheels and caps or side stripe decal. Here are a couple photos from a Fotki album.
guess if I had bothered to read your post I would know you knew all this stuff.... *NM*
Thanks for the pics! *NM*
