Much like its competitors from Ford and GM, Dodge built cargo vans in the 1960s. And while the A-vans were useful as cargo machines, they left much to be desired on the comfort front. So in 1971, Dodge released the B-vans: B100, B200, and B300. The standard B-vans had longer 109- and 127-inch wheelbases than the A-vans (to say nothing of the massive, 212-inch-wheelbase Maxivans), and while they were only five inches longer, more efficient layouts and more car-like cabins made them much more spacious and comfortable.

The 1976–78 Dodge vans were refreshed, with upgrades that included suspension changes for a smoother ride, an optional four-speed manual transmission, and big-inch V8s to go along with the six- and small eight-cylinder options. Their interiors were also upgraded, with better seating, better materials, and more effective controls and HVAC systems. And soon, governmental and municipal agencies began buying B-vans like the 1981-up B150 in droves.

This 1984 Dodge Ram B150 is said to have been used by the Atlanta Police Department for prisoner transport. It’s powered by a V8 engine, shifted by an automatic transmission, and comes in an arresting white over red paint scheme.
