Still Popular

[jmesl8er]

I think the 1st gens would be more popular if the aftermarket was more involved. Plus its hard to find one that has'nt been beat up

Here is a chop I did for a guy has had to make the parts because they are not available.

Was a chrome bumper, did a body match but its a bit much. Was thinking about a black cap on top

and here is color matched centers for his rims.

A fellow SEM member has an 86 D150. He's riding way low...he's only got 4 inches of ground clearance.

I have seen a few modded rams at carlilse.


Sent from my AT&T iPhone 4.

Yeah, Ive never seen a 1st gen on the road before... sad : /

I like those Trucks and remember as an Army Private I was given a Brand new 1987 Silver one (4x4) to care for and use to haul Ammo down Range. Of Course i deviated off course alot (cross-country) and had to wash that sucker almost everyday.

Damn young whippersnappers. I remember when those were brand new on the road.

Yeah, that musta been back when Virginia was still a confederate state. Too bad it didn't help you guys win the civil war! :********::********:

The 1st gen shall rise again!

 

[jmesl8er]

Like the burnt orange paint and the stripe. Needs to be lower though

Post up some more pics of it. I do like 1st gens too!

I could get more pics, but it would'nt be pretty. Cab, doghouse, and the bed are on skids in my dads backyard ( he's real happy about that). Frame is cut in half in my buddies garage, going to be a while before its picture worthy again

NICE!!! This is one I am looking at today during lunch for my 16 year old daughter. She wants a truck. It is a 1993 with a 318 and AT. A coworker is selling it.

Wonder how big of a motor you can run in that engine bay... Lets say a 440 would clear then bore a mild .40 over... hot cam with ported alum heads, and a decent intake manafold. Time to start looking for a project truck.

Newbie here, just picked up an '88. Throttle body 5.2. Had to replace the radiator, thermostat, power steering belt, (which when that snapped, caused overheat...drives WP, WTF?) It's in really not bad shape, lots of folks are surprised how little I paid for it. Clear coat peeling off to reveal a lovely satin black underneath, which I helped along with some Rustoleum...Oil changes have been kept up, good brakes, everything works, etc, But she slams into reverse...any ideas? Pix coming soon. Looking forward to the expert advice!

thats a older dodge problem when they start slammin into reverse that means its going out. my dad had a 76 dodge truck that did that then one day reverse was gone.

you might be lucky and that be all it is. you gotta think the 76 wasnt a ram it was still the adventurer or something like that?

 

[pavester]

ive been thinking about picking a 1st gen cummins up and working the motor over, maybe adding some 2nd gen parts off the 12v too it and lifting it

 

[LifetimeDodge]

1st Gens S shall rise again & yes I was there when they were new also.

We shall bear D's W's & A's & RISE AGAIN


If I had the $$ I'd market my own line of parts. I've custom built almost everything you can think of for these trucks for 30 years. Lifted,lowered,body drop,chopped pro street drag,mud drag you name it.

My ride to the grave will be in the back of a 1st gen CrewCab with my Bearers riding in the cab
