well i figured for 1,000$ it has new tires, exhust, intake and other stuff plus its got a 351 winsor in it. needs some paint and ball joints and tie rods i know a friend that will pay 3,500 so if i can get it first and sell it to him that will all be going into the dodge lol if not i will make it a mudding truck so i can keep the dodge all pretty lol

 

lol. yea. ball joints are prolly 50 or so. no biggie as long as it isnt rusted to ****. in fact thats a damned good investment if hell really pay you 35. Thats like 2500 dollars to change ball joints. some rattle can and a quick buff over the rust and itsa day.

 

there is not body rust the only rust is on the bumper but its only like as big as a quarter even if my friend wont buy it all the guys up at campare looking for a camp truck and said they would all go in on it so even if i can get 1500 for it that will be more than i had

 

I don't know yet. I still have a few minor things to do before I can get it inspected.
So far I've done the springs, swapped out the bad manual steering box with a power box and pump, and am having a new drive shaft made to replace the old rotten one. It had a lot of new suspension parts as well as a new alternator, water pump,and starter when I got it.
I need a new e-brake cable, windshield, and the rear brake lines.
I'm planning to have it on the road by the end of the month.

 

This is my truck with the rear axle flipped and 1.5 coils cut from the front.I will be honest in saying it rode like crap up front, it bounced and even hit the bump stops that I had cut way down. I will alsosay that the truck was a six cylinder truck and I put a V-8 in it so it did have the light springs up front.

ive been thinkin about dioing a quick chop drop - since thats free and properly is like 1000. but from what i hear it just makes it anasty rider

 

I'll let you know in a couple weeks. I removed the bump stops, and still have the slant in it, so I hope it'll be OK.

 

hey you guys have somegreat rides.it inspired me to post a few of my old ride which is a work in progress 87 D150 SWB 318 2BBL with A727 tranny im not sure of the rear gear but ispeg legout of a 87 D100 pickup so is the doors and front bumper ,windshield and ram hood ornament,dash,seat lol maybe i got a D125 now..its great we can see other peoples ideas at work.

 

84 Ram i really like the stepside with hubcaps. It really gives these trucks a certain class that other 80s vehicles couldnt hope for.

 

Thanks I like the look myself. I have a set of Weld wheels that are 15x12 for the rear and 15x3 up front, and I don't think they look as good as the steellies with the caps.
