Trucks Are Beautiful

Also, now that I think about it and without looking it up, I believe the "D" in DWA stands for "Diesel".

Also notice the "45,000" on the dump bed. It probably has 11 Fronts and 34 Rears.

Any idea when did FMVSS start mandating cab lights on vehicles over a certain height or a width? I'm pretty surprised that that era truck does not have them.

One of my favorite Dodge photos. Makes you wonder why the other manufactures didn't keep the old cab styling a little longer.

Since no one has answered yet, I'm going to say by or somewhat before 1972. But maybe someone will jump in with the exact year it was implemented.
