I'm so jealous! The first car I bought was a 93 Ram W250 with the 360. I miss it!

Dipped my bumper black today and fixed my cracked fuel tank and replaced the rubber piece in the filler neck. Also got my army vet plates in lol, they look a lot better than the paper plates lol

you would most likely regret it eventually. most people do. it almost makes it look a mud truck and if you ever do sell it it would most likely bring the value down because of how much work it would be to remove. a lot of people do preffer a nice paint job

Yeah I have used dip for a long time. If done right its easily removed. But yeah I would much much rather have a paint job! Just can't afford one. And this truck will never leave my possession. I have always wanted to redo and daily drive a 1st gen

I have pretty much decided to leave the paint the paint on my truck the way it is until I can aford to paint it properly. Heck the primer showing through in some spots don't look too bad. It actually looks kind of cool a bit like a rat rod

The bumper looks great and now it matches the front. Looks like you're off to a good start.
