Recently bought a second truck so I thought I'd make a thread showing both of my trucks.
First up is my 1995 2500 2wd 12v cummins. I bought it as a regular cab long bed, then I cut the frame and shortened it into a regular cab short bed.

When I bought it

Shortened it

How it sits now



And my second truck is a 1995 2500 4x4 ECLB 12v cummins 5 speed


Truck needs some body work, but it came with many parts, both front fenders (inner and outer), both doors, an extra hood, 2 spare rims and tires, both rear side glass, a muffler and cat, and a few other parts.

 

There was the thread of you getting rid of your 98?



The second one looks nice. You should repaint the Ram shorty and tune it for power.

 

Yes I finally got rid of the 98, for $5000
And I plan for the shorty is to build it up and paint it all white, I have a new front bumper, plastics, and rollpan waiting for it.
I haven't decided what I'm going to 4x4, the bed is black (just spray painted was red) previous owner thought it was a good idea. And the cab is green. All the extra parts are again spray painted black. I'd like to switch out all the parts but I don't know, I might go look through junk yards for parts that are green then just spray the rockers with bed liner so I don't dump a bunch of money in the body work for that one.

 

Sounds like a plan, but why do you have two trucks, again?

 

The 2wd won't be a daily driver and won't do me any good in the winter. Since I shortened it I try not to drive it in the rain too, too much torque for something with such a short wheel base and so light in the rear.
The 4x4 is my daily driver. And gets a lot better fuel mileage then the 98 did.

 

Nice. You gonna turn up the 2WD shorty? Should be a fun little summer driver.

 

Would have been nice if you updated the build thread on the short bed project Cummins.....

 

Sorry I forgot to update that. I did.

 

What you save in fuel costs, (which isn't too much anyways since Diesel is about $0.30 higher than gas) you will pay for in insurance.
