Welcome to the Forums!

good lookin truck.

FYI do a search on the plenum gasket. EVERY 2nd gen 1500 will have this issue.

Also these trannys typically need a rebuild by 125K-145K. That truck was used for plowing, so the tranny might not have that much life left...within 20K id say.

All in all, for the price thats a hell of a deal for the condition/miles. Def. a good buy.

Welcome to the forum! We have some pretty knowlegeable people around here. We're pretty friendly too... that is as long as you don't commit the sin of asking before searching for an answer. Sereiously, there is a lot of information to be had from prior discussions that you can find with the search feature.
That's a nice looking truck you have! Is that s sub box I see between the seats?

I'm tempted to do something similar, but I would love to find a way to mount a sub and keep seat #6 (It comes in handy now and again). I bet that hits hard with two 10's in that little cab!
