I have 2 1985 dodge rams, a red shortbox d150 with a 225 slant 6 4 speed, got it from my grandfather after he died, and a 1985 sno commander power ram, red longbox 3/4 ton with a 360, so I have a big and a little pretty much, I got the sno commander for free from a complete stranger, drove it home, and I need some advice on restoring it, its got a little rust in the usual places, the driverside floorboard is a myth tho, I have another out of another truck, but any tips on making it shine like factory, or do a simon and simon look to it? I need advice. I love these old dodges, and now that I have a matching set I need more advice than ever

 

update, Sno commander is painted, it has the simon and simon theme goingt, its red and black. next up is new wheels, tires, headers, valve covers, air cleaner, edelbrock carb, stereo, cb radio, roll bar, push bumper, and other various ods and ends

 

I see that you only have one choice here really. Give me the short box so you have time, and money, and space for the big one hehe

hehe you wish lol, im enjoying the pickup, its nice paint, and i have the pushbumper for the front of it, just have to weld the mounts off the bumper on it and bolt it on, then its dual exhaust with glass packs, no cat, and some deep dish jeep rims and bigger tires. cant wait, im posting picutres as soon as its all back together from paint, and thanks for the link

 

i would love to Simon and Simon my 74 but, the body is pretty pounded haha. Can't wait to see pics of your 85 sounds amazing

 

it wasnt when I got it, its still pretty rusty underneath, i gotta take it off the frame this summer and sand the frame, but it was a pile when I got it, and so far put a new floor in it, patched the rust holes with tin and bondo, and painted it, I need rear fender flares, to cover up waht I couldnt patch

 

oh and did I mention I got it for free?

 

Where are the pictures??!

My pair of 72's

 

both look nice. i am hoping to get a 70's style dodge truck if i can but if i was to come across a crew cab before that then it would take priority.
