But, if/when it goes if you don't wanna fix her, feel free to sell me your brush guard.
If the circumstances are right I'll probably put a first-gen 12 valve in it when the time comes.

As for the brush guard, it's a GoIndustries one. Good quality.

Nothing as of yet , I'm in a process of looking for something my truck is not doing me any good anymore haveing 150 k and being a single cab , this summer prob going to clean it up real good and sell it . Hopefully with tax return I will have a down payment for something new


I been thinking about picking up a 79 el with a 350 and mod it since 350 parts are easy and cheap .

It might be good to keep the truck around for when you want to do something to the new/old car that is going to take a couple days to finish. It sucks having to rush a job on your vehicle because it's the only one you have.

Ive been wanting to pick up an old cheby or furd and build that up for a mud beater or whatever. Alot cheaper to build and it would save the Ram from the abuse.

Edit: Or i could just take the time and money and put it into the 92 thats been sitting for a while.
