Power Giant for 1958
In '58, Dodge re-designed their line-up after only 1 year. Again they were only new from the cowl forward, making a larger engine compartment by enlarging the fenders and hood. The grille for '58 was made of 3 separate horizontal bars identical to the one above the bumper. This was the first year that dual headlights were an option on all models.
1959
This was the last year for the swept side, replaced by the all new swept line bed, the swept side was discontinued in January 1959. A new grille was in order for '59, a 1 piece cross hair grille was installed, while the rest of the fascia stayed the same. New arrows were added to the sides of the hood over the louvers, where a piece of molding had been for '58. The dash was re-designed this year and incorporated a glove box in front of the passenger. New step wells were added to the cab to ease entry and exit of the cab.
1960
This was the last year for the Power-Giants Era. For '60 very little changed, the grille went to a multiple horizontal bar, 1 piece unit. other than that, only the placement of the molding changed.
somewhere between 1959 and 1960, dodge trucks started to be welded in places where they were formerly bolted, such as in the construction of the front fascia. also, it appears that the radiator got thinner, as the top plate between the radiator and the fascia got thicker.
