I finally cleaned up the SS/T last night and today. Of course, it was only dusty. ;) I decided to take it out for a photoshoot this afternoon. I'm no professional photographer, so this is the best I can do. I used my Sony HDR-SR-11 Handycam for this. It doesn't do too bad for a cam corder in photo mode. Tell me what you think about the photographer and the truck. Be honest. Thanks.

Great looking truck. I almost bought one of them when I was shopping for my old 2nd gen ram.

Thanks for the comment. I still love the truck even after 12 years of ownership. The only engine available in the SS/T package was the 5.9. I don't understand why anybody would change the wheels on an SS/T. I really like the factory wheels. The only thing I've done to the truck is lower it and drop in a K&N.

I've actually seen some people change out the rims and it just don't look as nice.

Why not try adding some headers and maybe a bigger cam?

Well, I purchased the truck new with the intent on hot rodding it. I was going to lower it and build up the engine. Well, other projects took priority and it took me nearly 12 years to lower it. I've been thinking about building up another 5.9/automatic combo and storing the originals. I have two or three friends that are trying to keep me from touching it. I may just do a heads/cam/headers/tune.

Thanks guys. I am going to try to hit the cruise-in with it soon. I'm hoping folks will appreciate it. I sold my dually today and the couple that bought it saw the SS/T. Their jaws dropped when I told them it was a 1998 model.

I purchased a new photo printer/scanner today and thought I would scan some old photos of the truck.

These are from a month after I bought it.

I forgot the wheels were that shiny.

Notice the roll pan.
I think the next two were taken the day I bought it.

Dealer emblem still on the tailgate.
