Default 1993 Rolling "Art Truck", new Mopar Owner

I inherited a 1993 rusty, patina paint D250 with a 6 cylinder motor from my 80 year old friend. It hasn't run for about 4 years, I'm new to Mopars, I'm working on getting it running, so I'll be asking some questions here. My goal is to get it running and turn it into a rolling sculpture or "Art Truck" (hence my user name ArtSmart) by adding metal and cutting with my plasma cutter. I'll post pictures.

Sorry, fat fingers it's a D250 with a 6-cylinder motor. I'll post pictures in a day or two.

Hmmm....do you speak Middle English instead of Modern English? Are you intelligent? If so, I can say "Thou Art Smart".

Sorry, I'm in one of my moods. I get that way at times. You get that way when you're elderly but kindly with a....different.....way of looking at life.

Seriously, and I can be serious, it's just not any fun, I look forward to seeing the truck and your plans for it.

Thanks, it will be a while before I start on the "art" part of the truck. The first task is to make it a reliable truck and I'd like to lower it.
