I won this off of eBay!!! I wasn't going to bid on it because I thought for sure it would go for a high price? But then when I checked again with about 12 hours to go and no bids on it, I thought what the hell I'll put a max bid of $70 on it and see what happens? Well in the end I got it for $55 plus $5 for shipping!!! I hope it's as nice in person as it does in the photo!!!  Can't wait to get it and build it as a hauler for my 38' goose neck or tag along trailers!!! ;D ;D ;D Anyone know anything about R & R resin? |

They've been in business for a while. They do some unique stuff. I bought an El Matador body from them. I looks like quality work. You can find them under Star Models (along with Flintstone, Hendirx, and Aardvark) here. resinrealm.net/index.htmlBTW: They sell your Dodge for $58, so you did OK. FMW |

R&R resin's products are OK. Not the best but also not the worst. The quality can very from mold to mold so expect some body work like a crazzed model restoration. Also, did Dodge offer an extended cab back then? That I don't know but those dually fenders are way wrong. Looks like they cast the stepside fenders on the fleetside bed.
What are your plans on this one?

What are your plans on this one? I hoping it's not too bad to work with? And yes Dodge did offer that cab back then. As far as the fenders go I didn't realize until now that they do look a lot like the step side fenders!!! But may I can remake them to look more like the real deal? My plan is to build it as a hauler for one of my '38 foot trailers. |

Whoa. I'm thinking that the eBay seller is buying R & R's 2nd hand stuff and then reselling it on eBay? |

Wow. Thanks for taking the bullet on this one Marty, you saved everyone else on the board $58! Seriously, back in the day, 90% of the extended cab Dodges I ever saw were single rear wheels, it was kind of rare to see a 1970s era Dodge dually, unless you were in the pits at a race track. A neighbor had one that was a 4X4 and had cool "Power Wagon" emblems on the hood. Anyway, good luck building this one!
