my first truck

[XCRacer236]

well some of you guys prolly remember i had a thread on here about dodge or ford for my first truck.

i ended up finding a 1998 dodge ram 1500. its 4x4, automatic, 78000 miles, loaded, and paid 5800. only thing wrong is a couple scratches here and there and thats it.

Does it have the 360 or 318? Either way it sounds like you did pretty good.

and by the way..watch that tranny. they have a tendency to take a **** on you at the worst times:chinese:

[muddy400EX]

nice truck, id lose those running boards tho if possible. that alone would make it look sooo much better!

[XCRacer236]

haha. i posted it on another forum and the first thing 2 people said was lose the running boards.

[Gray33]

Very nice truck, but take the posters advice loose the running boards and put some stainless steel nerf bars on there.

[XCRacer236]

yeah, i guess i should go with that. ill get some real nerfs as soon as i can get the money.

[lonnie1977]

Very clean. Looks good. Every man should own a truck.

[WhiteZrider]

Very nice truck!

Nice! I'm lookin for my Cummins as we speak. :D Found a nice '99 I wanna go check out.

[XCRacer236]

Looks 10x better. :cool: I'm still lookin' for a Cummins. lol

[XCRacer236]

thanks guys!

i decided after looking at the truck and drooling over how much better it looked i decided NOT to spend the money on step bars. have NO problems stepping right into it.

im just painting the silver the same as the red. theres some rust on one of the doors and on the fenders, so im gonna take care of that and paint it to match the red. should look EVEN BETTER! CAN'T WAIT!

[fastredrider44]

Wheels sure would set that thing off. And some tires that wont spin on wet grass.:devil:

Looks good.

[450r ride red]

i would put mud flaps back on it help out the rocker panels
