DIY: Removing Bed and QuadCab to replace Exhaust Manifold Gasket

[AlohaRam]

I see you found the missing body parts...

Looks great! Looks like the headlights could use some polishing though!

For you Chewy



Making these things look like new was literally like watching paint dry...

I'd like to do some performance upgrades while I have it apart, but this is a "flipper" for me, so I am trying to keep it low-budget.

However, If I can find another QuadCab cheap enough ( with a bad engine or trans ) , I'll swap Chevy Power into it...

This just might be the lucky SBC transplant recipient...

2002 Dodge Ram - $1500 (North Shore)

How did I not read this gross post earlier. Haha. Please do not disgrace this Ram with that thing.

ah what a wicked thread! Seeing that rolling chassis really makes me want to pull my body off and make everything all nice a pretty. Oh how I wish I had a garage/shop. Awesome work brother.

Did you spend any time on DTW back in the day. I use to talk to a bunch of islanders when I worked nights back in the day.

DTW? ... wasn't me.

But yah, go for it..... rolling this chassis out was one of the easiest things I've done.

I'm looking forward to doing it again on another Ram
