I recently bought an 86 ram that I'm trying to mod with little luck on help from the aftermarket. The only custom touch on the truck from me is the painted grill surround and grill, still trying to figure out what to do with the rest of the truck.

Flat black, drop it, 22in in back 20s in front. Go with a wide tire out back, tint the window, and a few cherry bombs to let that baby roar

Here's my buddy's 88 on 35" Mud Rovers. 2012-08-25_16-12-43_477.jpg
And the 87 my dad almost bought last summer. 440 big block, Dana 60's, 5.13 Gears, 12 inches of lift on 39.5x18 Super Swamper Boggers, 40 Gallon fuel tank. The guy wanted all but two grand for it... wow.jpg

My 88 is heavily modified. 440 carbed, older wiring for a cleaner look, staggered tires(wide out back), 410 posi, chrome sidepipes, rumblebee stripes, cragar s/s wheels, bucket seats, and pretty much everything else.
