Hey guys, I'm getting a new to me '98 Ram 1500 tomorrow. It's a single cab, long box, 318 with a 5 speed(not sure which) 121,300KM(a little over 75,000Miles) 4x4 of course. I live in Northern BC Canada, so getting something 4x4 is ideal(I still have, but selling my '95 F-150 with the 300 six, 5 speed 2wd)

Test drove it earlier tonight and it was super comfortable, smooth right, engine had lots of pep, easily spun the tires lol. Did a good love over, minimal rust, no leaks and fired right up(was sitting for a few weeks) He has another 98 short box that he jacked up and put 38's on and after all the work that became is DD. Clutch felt brand new, I burnt it up a tad, not used to releasing the clutch so little and it grabbing; my 95's clutch petal would be pretty much all the way out and just catching.

Anyways, no pics right now, will get them tomorrow and maybe a video of a side by side comparison of the Ford
