My trucks over the last 9 months

First up is a 1994 1500 with a NV3500 and 5.2L, It had 244,*** Kilometres on it when I got it last July. I purchased this truck for $900 CAD.
I brought it home with me to the States and couldn't get it to pass California smog. I made a couple threads about it here. I ended up selling it in February for $1150 USD. Essentially breaking even after parts and what not.

Next I have a 1998 1500 QC with a 5.9L and a 46RE, I purchased it here in So.Cal for $1000 needing a trans. I got the trans at the junkyard for $200 and installed it myself. After fees and everything else I am into this one for about $1700. I also put in a double din nav unit which was ~$300.

I now might have the opportunity to trade the 98 for an '03 3500 with a 24V CTD and a NV5600, the trans will need to be replaced. But I believe it is a screaming deal. I just thought I would share my Dodge story with you all.

Lets just say she should have been more careful.. haha..
It is a nice truck. but it needs a lot of work. IMO still worth my 98 and then some (like a lot of some.. lol). The bed is completely trashed too, the tailgate has taken one to many blows from the gooseneck trailer, you cant really see it in the pictures, but the flares are smashed and the drivers has a nice gash in it, and the passengers is busted to bits. The dash is cracked, but other than that the insides are in pretty good shape. If I can manage a trade my intent is to fix it and sell it then buy a 3rd gen 1500.
