Alright guys I wanna see pics of

everyones truck! Post em up boys! I’ll start...

Here’s the truck I almost bought before my truck. 91 12 valve 5 speed with 236k on the clock. 

Its sounds more like he has money to burn and got his fill of the truck.  It started having problems (from who knows why) and he didnt feel like dumping any more money.  So...when opportunities knock you jump on it.  I see nothing wrong with that...

 

Now if the guy was mental or needed money for some sort of emergency then thats different.

I'm not a big fan of 'enthusiasts' that just want to roll coal. I think that is stupid behavior and give us diesel lovers a bad image. If he got bent over I could care less.

Exactly, thank you! He didn't deserve this truck at all. The previous owner put so much time and money and love into this truck, and you can see it, and this 16yo kid whose parents have waaaaayy too much money disrespected it and now I have it and am actually going to give it the love it deserves.

His parents have waaay too much money, Jag in the garage and drive a decked out Powerstroke, he also bought a 05 Duramax that the tranny blew up on his way home with it and had to dump $11k into a $13k truck. Just perfect timing I guess.

We all have our issues, you offered he said ok. So fair deal in my book, not that you forced him at gun point. Some people have more money than brain or something like that. Good find and hope you can fix it up and enjoy it.

It was literally just a whim to buy it, I didn't need it, and to be honest, I'm extremely nervous to dive into an auto tranny. But something that day told me to buy it, and I did, and after looking at it more, its literally my dream truck! (besides it obviously not being a 6spd) It turned from me being extremely nervous about the purchase, to me being less nervous about it due to the little things that are exactly done how I'd want it and exactly how I'd do it. I'll get you guys a COMPLETE build list soon cause that was just scratching the surface of whats actually been done!

Can we get more pics of the interior restoration?

Yes I'll get more pics when I go over to my dads either today or tomorrow! I'd send what I have but it's basically just the drivers seat cushion lol.

For those wanting some more interior pictures, these are all I've gotten. The driver seat was rebuilt and recovered with the black leather and the back support if it was reclaimed. Center console was recovered and rebuilt as well about as much as one can be. Back seat is perfect, I think it was just reclaimed since I haven't ever seen a torn up back seat. Passenger seat is a little cracked but other than that it has been reclaimed as well. I'm missing a rear driverside door panel so if anyone knows where one is with wood grain let me know!

I don’t know how this is one of the only pics I have of this old truck? This was my favorite and such a good truck. Miss is everyday. Going camping this weekend and will get some pics of the new 98.

Yes. I really like the way they look on the truck.

Hoping to get some good pics of my truck soon. It’s super dirty currently.

I always liked the look of my OBS Ford wheels better than anything I've ever had. They fit right on the Dodge?

Yes, they fit perfectly. The ford center caps screw onto the wheels so you’ll have to drill two holes in the dodge caps to get them to stay on.
