Some classic trucks attract your attention for what they claim to be when they are not. In the case of this otherwise plain-Jane, entry-level 1968 Dodge D100 Utiline (the Mopar speak for Stepside pickups), the “Tonka” label on the doors is a fun accessory that anyone of a certain age who had a Tonka truck growing up would appreciate. However, the effect might be more successful if the truck featured yellow paint.
Otherwise, this 1968 Dodge D100 Utiline, first listed in February 2023 on Craigslist in Lansing, North Carolina (Charlotte), is a solid example featuring a repaint and other restoration touches. The seller reports their truck needs nothing other than a new owner who can put up with the manual steering.
Last offered for $17,995 (the original ask was $14,995), Classic.com, the analytics and search engine for the collector car market, confirms the ask is well below the five-year rolling average of this guide’s summary for second-generation Dodge D Series pickups produced between 1965 and 1971.

As a second data point, the Collector Car Market Review Online Tool reveals the seller’s ask falls between this guide’s #3 “Good” estimate of $10,850 and its #2 “Very Good” appraisal of $17,300 before making adjustments for powertrain and equipment.
The D/W series is a line of pickup trucks sold by Dodge from October 1960 to September 30, 1993. The same basic design was retained across three generations until the October 1993 introduction of a completely redesigned Ram. Dodge’s second-generation D Series pickup truck was a mild redesign launched in the spring of 1965 with styling updates lasting through 1967. The most distinctive change was the switch back to large-framed single-round headlights. Updates in 1965 included a wider tailgate and the replacement of the A-series engines with the updated LA series, as well as a six-inch wheelbase stretch on eight-foot Sweptline bed models.

Based on the pictures the seller provides, this 1968 Dodge D100 Utiline for sale appears to be a very solid example the next caretaker can either continue to use as a daily driver or perhaps take it to the next level. With a wealth of aftermarket power steering upgrade kits available, the buyer could make that one of their first upgrades.
Here’s the seller’s description:
I bought the truck with a little over 51,000 miles now showing 56,417. I believe this to be correct, the truck burns NO oil and I get 18-20 mpg running around Ashe county.
I’m getting older and the manual steering is too heavy for my arms and shoulders. The windshield is original and has some fogging around the edges.
Truck is as is, where is. Come look at it or have it inspected by a third party. Price is firm.”
