Badge-engineered twin (Dodge Ramcharger / Plymouth Trail Duster) -- the VIN does not reliably encode which badge (see file header); check the vehicle's title or fender tag. No real 1980 ('A' year-digit) Dodge/Plymouth truck VIN was found to confirm this year's tables; the decode is built from 1979's verified shapes with the year digit swapped.
