When Dodge Built The 60s Truck That Hit Muscle Cars Long Before The Ford Lightning

Описание: 33. This video uncovers the forgotten origin story behind performance trucks, long before the Ford Lightning made headlines. In the early 1960s, Dodge created a surprising machine that shocked the world of muscle cars and challenged everything people thought a pickup could be. This documentary style breakdown explores how a simple work truck received big block power, how it rivaled the muscle cars of its time, and why its legacy still influences modern performance trucks today.

As we revisit the rare Dodge D100 High Performance Package and the early Custom Sports Special models, we reveal how Dodge unknowingly built a blueprint that muscle cars fans would admire for generations. From the Dragmaster story to the thunderous 426 Street Wedge, every chapter shows how this truck stood shoulder to shoulder with the most iconic muscle cars of its era. If you love the evolution of American power, the roar of big displacement engines and the rebellious spirit of early performance culture, this journey into the roots of muscle cars is one you should not miss.
