Album: 1998 Dodge Ram 1500 Sport Truck - Album on Imgur
Just curious what Dodge people think. I bought this as a winter truck so I could store my 2013 Mustang but to be honest it's kind of growing on me. I'm having the trans rebuilt and the ghetto dash trim is already replaced. It needs ball joints, tie rod ends and brakes, all of which I had planned to do as a project with my son before the snow hits. All in all I'm into this truck for about $2300 including the trans.
The only rust I can see is a bit right below the passenger door and it scares me. Mechanical, I can figure out eventually with enough banging my head against the wall but rust takes talent I do not have. The interior is not ripped up or anything, stereo is fine and everything seems to work.
So given the rust, do I plan on keeping this thing for a few more years?
