Default What I have done so far to my 1995 Dodge Ram

Here are some pics, Forgot to take before shots

Roof Lights, Antennas,Both sets of fog lights, Dodge Ram Head,


Overhead Console out of a Dodge Caravan and roof liner replacement (Gotta do it again it did not turn out)


Steering Column Swap out of a 1999 Dodge Ram 1500, Cruise is still not working but will get to that soon


Midland CB Radio, Fog lights switch out of 1995 truck and wired to the fog lights with a relay, Power Outlet out of the same 1995 truck as mine did not come with it, Wired it to the other outlet,


Newly Painted Rims, And the dang rust thats killing the truck slowly

I love the steering column now, before it was bland and seemed out of place in a ram. As far as the overhead console, if you do it, make sure you stick the dark grey part above the roof liner, as it makes it look so much cleaner. I never thought of doing that on this.

I have removed the stock bumper, Surprisingly without a impact or torch. Bolts came out pretty easy. I am modifying a Ford Bumper as a temp fix for now. Will be getting another dodge one soon.

^You talking about the rear, right?

Good luck finding one without rust.
Those things are hard to find even down here.

Yeah, Mine was all rotten out, And i think i found out why it does, It seems the support bar is open at the top but closed at the bottom, Thus sealing the salt/dirt/gunk in and not letting it fall out.

Got some new pics of what I have been doing. It does upset me that I can not get that "Duplicolor" to shine. What a waste of money for 13.00 for a little can.

Before shot of the rear end


Before shot of the tail light



During Painting (The can in the picture costs 13.00 each -_- )



After shot of the tail light and top of the box (Was painted with bedliner)



Father holding up new hinge :P



New hinge in place



Before Shot of the carpet

Some weird rust that I have never seen before (the black stuff)



Before of the floor



During Oiling



After Oiling



After Pressure washing the carpet



Airbag Module thats located in the center of the floor
