Thanks guys, everything that can be swapped from old truck will be. Problem now is my foot and the fact that the new truck won't fit in the garage. Between some minor new stuff I've ordered and swapping stuff over, I'll be quite busy. Hopefully in about 1 1/2 to 2 months I'll have a new foot too! LOL That might make things a little easier too. And for those of you wondering what happened to my old truck,here you go. https://dodgeforum.com/forum/2nd-gen...get-worse.html as also posted by Purpl

Nice workhorse ya got there Z! Glad to hear your daughter and yourself were not hurt tooooooo bad. Get well soon.

Whats up with it not fitting in the garage? Its the same size as your last truck, but a few inches taller. You talking about when it has the plow on?

its good that you found a replacement with only 78k miles.
now you just need to guilt your daughter into swapping your parts from the old truck.

Just spent $600 having them fixed and painted last summer, was considering keeping them as they will fit on the new truck in case. We'll see.

did you teach her a few things about vehicle repair when she was growing up or will this be a new experience for her?
my sister just popped out a baby girl and i told her that as soon as she is big enough to hold a wrench that she had better be learning. gotta start them out young when they're still impressionable.

Well sure, about 2" or a smidgen more. What the heck size garage door do you have? I thought 7' was the smallest. My truck will fit in a 7 footer (with only an inch or so to spare), and I know my truck is taller than yours.

my truck won't fit in our garage (well it will, but my 4 foot whips wont)

guy down the road has a 3/4 ton, with my 2 inch lift, im just as tall as that truck...

...but Zs right, his new rig is much taller, seeing as his old one got tacoed
