Hey guys. I have always followed this forum but I have had 3 2nd gens and parts and resources are abundant. Figured I would create an account for my first gen. It's an 85 W250 with a 318. Some background. My first vehicle was a 94 2wd reg cab long bed 360. 320,000 miles and dunno what the factory color was because of the rust lol. My second was a 98 4wd reg cab short bed 360 that after returning from Iraq I sunk $22,000 into. Absolutely a gorgeous truck. Traded it for a 99 2wd quad cab short bed 360, about made me cry but my first son was on his way. Ended up trading it in on a 05 4wd quad cab short bed 345 hemi. Loved that truck, but went threw some though times and had to choose between it or the family Nitro R/T. So things are looking up and the exact truck I have always looked for landed in my lap. Over time I will do rims and tires. The truck already has a 2 inch lift and minimal rust, especially for Indiana. But I want to repaint and fix the body. Redo to interior. So some motor work, Mopar performance breather, Mopar performance valve covers, headers other little things. The first thing will be exhaust, the old all rusted and fell off so it's loud as hell. Then on to the interior. Any pointers would be greatly appreciated. Sorry for the length, just wanted to thoroughly let y'all know that I am all Mopar or no car lol.
