TN - The Land of Shootin' Stuff!
Greetings and salutations! Not my first Dodge truck or product (had a '72 Adventurer, '71 Duster, '67 Charger, '76 Road Runner and many others) over the years.
I just bought a 1989 Dodge Ram D100, two owner, with 122k miles a week or so ago. It has the 3.9 liter v6, auto, ac, tilt, and cruise. It also has a spray in bed liner. One repaint over fifteen years ago. It's pretty clean and just needs a little tinkering on a few things.
It is missing a couple of trim pieces (found one on ebay today) and I am looking to get a set of the OEM hubcaps to make it look more original. The bumpers and trim are all good and it has been garaged most of its life.
I thought I would sign up here in case I needed any info or maybe a source for parts. Haven't even swept it out yet but here are a few pics.

Did a little work to it. Replaced the AutoZone Specials wheelcovers with trim rings and baby moons. Took the carpet out and pressure washed it. Not new but looks much better! Look at those near perfect floors! Also found the build sheet stuck to the passenger side floorboard. Couldn't lift it off but did take pics of it. Replaced the drier and expansion valve and got he ac working. Also found the missing rear fender molding I needed here local. For $20 I got the trim piece and an OEM tool tray that goes behind the seat. I also ordered a weatherstrip kit for the doors. Got the door opening seals, belt moldings (window sweeps), and glass run channels. Only put a few hundred miles on it so far but every time I go somewhere someone wants to look at it or try to buy it.
