I own a 1983 Dodge Ram 50 sport 4x4. The equivalent is the Mighty Max.( or so i've heard)But when I needed to get new tail light lenses I couldn't find any match. Until I stumbled upon the L 200 of the same year. The lenses are the same and after looking at pics. the whole truck seems the same. So is my truck linked to the L200 or the mighty max. VIN says Ram 50 so I am confused. I now need a clutch and transmission but is the truck worth it. I'm thinking its kinda rare. Thanks for any help.----Trae

things get confusing with the imports with american conversion names. Mazda did the ford Ranger, Isuzu did the s10 for chevy and mitsu did the d50. But to make things funner, the motor parts are not all interchangable from say the 2.4 to the 2.6. Plus the transmission shifter mounting parts are way different from the 2wd to the 4wd. Not only that, but when I tried using the shifter from the raider on my d50 4wd, the length of the shifter was different than on my truck. I had to dismantle the shifter pieces just to use the inverted cup mounting that ripped open on my truck.
What else might be different is anyone's guess. The only ones that we can blame is them **** engineers. They take great joy in pissing with us..
