Gotcha. At least I know where the seat in my 76 came from, your back seat is the exact same pattern as the bench in that truck.

Hung out with a dude today with a sweet '98 SS/T who just recently did a top end build on his motor. Here's his truck, he is a member on this forum but has not posted here for a long time.

Double post FTW!


Rinsed off the Ram pretty good, cleaned the bed and drains out, cleaned the cowl, brushed off the massive amount of spider webs that had accumulated, clean the door jambs. Hopefully it looks good for tomorrow.

Picked her up from the trans shop today, the VB had to be rebuilt, and she shifts beautifully now, a decent investment for $389 I think

loaned my 99 ram 1500 to some friends for their move to new house. When I got it back oil pressure was acting up. Oil was low, so changed, and noticed that the oil pressure now at idle is 40 psig, and the pressure follows the rpm's? Is this normal?

Most of the time that's normal. It should usually top out at about 40-45 psi when operating. Besides, the factory gauges aren't that great.

Put a bunch of miles on her today. Got all 4 tires balanced. The rears (used to be on the front) are in rough shape, they have flat spots, took some 10 ounces of weights to get them balanced.

Fronts are good since they used to be on the rear.

Maybe the truck won't shake now....
