Dodge used to (or still does) sell small trucks, like 1 1/2 to 2 ton models in Mexico, didn't they? I bet thats where they came from.

I've "heard" that there is a 4500 and a 5500 coming someday, but never heard of a 6500.

I figured for $10, I can't lose. Seller says they are new and in the original packaging so will have to see what is up when they arrive.

Going by the pics anyways, they look real. They will be a good conversation piece if anything.

Well, all I need now is a set of 10 lug Super Singles and I think I could pull this off!!

The 6500 emblems finally showed up today. Unfortunately, they came in a envelope and didn't have any parts numbers or anything

They are a factory emblem. As the pic below shows, they match up with the "Turbo Diesel" part of the emblem perfectly. Sorry the truck is such a pig pen, it gets washed and waxed tomorrow but I had to get these on right away.

Curious to see how many people notice it. Should be worth a chuckle or 3.
