alright...assuming everything thats wrong with my truck right now is toast im looking at tranny, steering box, starter, grill, headlight, bumper. and god knows what else. so i just got back from the bank and waiting to here back on a small 2000 dollar loan. had to have a cosigner and everything. been checking craigslist ill post up what i have been looking at. i havent called on anything yet just in case the bank doesnt come through.

1995 DODGE RAM 1500 SLT - 1/2 TON, LONG BED, EXTENDED CAB - 4X4 -

1997 dodge ram 1500

2001 DODGE RAM 2500 4X4

if i get a 8ft bed i have a mint one so no biggie on that but really leaning towards the last two.

Sorry to hear of your mishap. They don't make these newer trucks for off-roading. Their only for looks. Ha Ha. In the day they made 4x4s for hard use. I had a 63 Willys Wagoneer, One time I was running about 35 mph across the desert when out of nowhere a wash appeared. It was about 4' deep & just wide enough that the front & rear bumper were on each side. When I hit it just stopped dead. I jacked it out & on the way we went. NO DAMAGE. Try that with these newer trucks. Oh that's right you did.

That was the only way this old man seems to learn most of the time. These newer trucks have their advantages. But with many of those comes disadvantages. The ride & towing capacities of these newer trucks is unreal. I think Dodge builds the tougher of these newer trucks. They seem to have pretty good frames & on mine heavy duty front & rear diffs. Dana 60 & 80.
Yea just build it back with aftermarket parts.

Don't leave us wondering did the bank come through. It is hard to borrow money from any bank these days it seems.
