What is the most uncommon 1st generation pickup?
1981 D-50 sport with Big Horn package - only ever seen one - nearly bought it after the owner cracked the block overheating it, but had no where to store it.

It was a special trim package with 2 tone paint, gradient striping, unique interior with seats with paint matching inserts. Once I find the photo resizer program I will post the scan from the 1981 brochure.

He drove it home and blew a hose and must have run it dry. The guy that owned it was a construction worker and was working on a street project right below my house at the time - he killed the motor on the way home from that job. I found out about it through a friend whose brother owned the repair shop it went to after the hose blew. It was in fair shape, but a motor was very hard to find even in the late 80's and the guy junked it rather than fix it - could have had it for cheap.

Are 2wd diesel models uncommon?
are you talking about the Yellow/ black stripe paint jobs with the bucket seats that are black with yellow stripe inserts?

Is the brown and gold color scheme in the 1981 ram 50 commercial on YouTube hard to come by?
All were low production models, with the Sport models being the lesser model sold being more money than the custom (base) models. I almost traded Geronimo in on a Brown/Gold Sport but changed my mind, as it was an auto. The Long Horn was the top of the line model based on the Sport.

Was side trim a factory option?
IMG_20150711_195507.jpg Is this a rare truck? 1982 power ram 50 with a sunroof.
as they were only made in the last 3 months of the 1982 model year, the first year 4x4, and it being the sport, yes it is rare

Did the pickups come stock with side trim about mid-door?
no that was an option from the factory, not that big a deal.

Not the rarest but definitely one I wouldn't mind having ....
I had two red 1982 power ram 50 sports that were identical. I sold the one in the picture. I still own the other, it has the a/c and cruise control options but not the sunroof. It was a parts truck to the one I sold. it is mostly complete other then the motor being pulled. Bought the pair for 600
Does anyone know anything about the early models that had fiberglass stepside beds? I can't seem to find any documentation on them using Google. Thanks
They were sold as a kit from a California company California Custom Stepside I believe was the name. They were also sold for the Courier!
,LUV,Mazda and later Toyota and Datsun. Many were dealer installed but you could also buy a kit direct. They also sold a kit to make your old bed into a trailer? The bed was metal,fenders fiberglass if I recall. Nice kits,pretty well made IMHO for the time period but we're prone to metal rusting in rust belt areas.
