I say this because the Dodge vans of 1979-80 had Round Headlights


Not all of them:

Edit:
There's also a Dodge Van with square headlights in the 1979 brochure I posted earlier:

I thought that we are always adding the earliest possible year for the vehicles on the site.

Also, sorry, I was wrong about the gas cap - the '79-80 Dodge Van and the 1981 Ram Van both had a round gas cap, then it was changed to a square gas cap for the 1982 model year.


So it's a 1981?

Given you can't see those details for these cars we can just say it's a 1981 Ram Van and call it a day

The Ram Van name was used only after 1981.
As far as I know, the only difference between a '79-'80 Dodge Van and the 1981-85 Ram Van are the badges and the Ram Van had round gas cap.

I thought the Dodge Vans of the 1980s called Ram Vans? Or just call them the B-Series

I completely forgot about that comment below that I wrote back in 2019...

IMCDB still lists these vans as "Dodge Dodge Van", so I'm editing them.


If you want to make a radical change like that you have to wait for admin approval otherwise your edits will be rejected.

And now we have another model name, also, i don't think the 'Dodge Van' model name sounds weird, it's just like in case of Chevrolet Chevy Van

According to IMCDB, the Tradesman name was used only between 1971 and 1978, the 1979-80 models are listed as Dodge Dodge Van:
imcdb.org/vehicles.php?make=Dodge&model=Dodge+Van&modelMatch=1&modelInclModel=on
It sounds weird, but it seems that this is the official name, since the Tradesman name isn't mentioned anywhere in this 1979 Dodge brochure:
www.oldcarbrochures.com/static/NA/ChryslerTrucksVans/1979%20Trucks%20and%20Vans/1979%20Dodge%20Trucks%20Brochure/dirindex.html
So, the (currently 13) '79 Tradesmen on the site should be renamed to "1979 Dodge Dodge Van".

Generic van (with even more specific grille from 3rd gen Ford Transit, which was very freely inspired by his predecessor in GTA 3).
The same in SA and other "3D" GTA.

Thereīs also a Pony in black, it appears in the telephone mission which is at the Cherry Popper Ice Cream Factory, Little Havanna. But you canīt drive it out of the backyard, because the gate isnīt opened enough.

Since GTA3 the makers seem to have swapped names between the Rumpo and Pony, now the Pony is the smaller van.
