02 2500HD Crew cab
8.1 Allison
275/65/18 tires
This is not mine, but looks almost identical. I have regular mirrors, the bow tie is blacked out with a red outline, and the windows are tinted. Otherwise looks just like this.
This truck would pull the freckles off an Irish girl. Major tow rig, drive it around once in a while anyway but I try to keep it out of the salt as a truck like this is expensive AF to buy now, I need this one to last.
98 Dakota Sport 5.2/5 speed 4x4.
Again not mine here, but just like it. Mine has rust on the rockers because it is from WI. Bought it last year with 52k miles and now it is at almost 58k as I drive it to work everyday. Righteous burnouts. Gets 21mpg, handles winter really well, no annoying LED panels blaring in my face. Hope to run it for a long time. 90's Dodge white with red decals looks amazing on these trucks.
1990 Ramcharger 360/auto OD.
This is not mine. Mine is very clean, but the paint job probably cost 1/3 of what this guy's did as it isn't a clear coat job. I have factory steel wheels yet, I do have 15x10 chromes to put on but need to buy tires and waste not want not, 31.5's on it now are still good.
Last year of the 80's body with an actual hood ornament, first year of an OD transmission available. 3.55 gears(locking rear) means it scoots along. I did a disc brake conversion on the back, and put a very nice Alpine stereo in it with 6x9's in the 4 corners. Has a small in line amp, could use a dedicated amp and one of those bazooka subs or similar with adjustable level, there is a LOT of space/air inside this thing lol
Hoot to drive, if you never have.... it is a big bounce 80's truck, with a wheelbase short enough you can turn a 180 on a narrow two lane road without reverse. So it feels agile somehow, even though it is a full size 4x4. Nothing quite like this style of truck and they will never make them again.
Bucket list: shortbox Dodge from the 70's. It is a ways down the list though, and likely won't happen. They are extinct in WI for the most part and I don't have funds for more projects.
