Hi I am looking for production figures for the 85 Power Ram W150 Royals Se Short Box and what the market value is. Are these rare? I'm having a hard time finding info on one, let alone one for sale or Google pictures for one. It is the power ram 4x4). I'm looking to sell it and want more info on it.

 

Welcome to DF! Moving this to the first gen Ram section.

 

Hi there. That's the more luxurious trim level, but that doesn't really change the market value much compared to a base model. There isn't much of a mainstream collector's value for 80s model dodge trucks yet. The main determinant of price in these old beasts is condition. In my neck of the woods, its $800-1000 for a real beater, $2-3000 for a decent old truck, and anything over about $3000 better be cleeeeaaaaaan or have a diesel. That's not to say any one truck couldn't bring a bit more. Those are just average figures. There's been a guy trying to sell a nice 1989 w350 for $15,000 on my local craigslist for the past 3 years. CUCKOO!!!

 

A shortbox 4x4 huh well I know nothing about the production numbers but the crazy thing is around here a chevy shortbox 4x4 from that era in good shape would be worth probably like ten grand, of course since yours is a dodge it's probably even rarer than the chevy's but also probably worthless to most people. Maybe you should keep it someday in the distant future it might fetch big coin for being the only one left! does it have the 360 or a 316?

 

My truck has the 360. Yeah I think they must be almost as rare as a red express or warlock. I have never seen another truck like mine. Has anyone else seen a 80s Dodge 150 power ram royale se prospector short box?
