RC here too ...but not SWB! Nothing fancy. Actually I started out looking for a SWB, not many avail at the time. Lately I've seen quite a few though online (used). I prefer a SWB/RC tk. They're really fun to drive (have a SWB GMC).

Drove many like that , last rcsb was a 57 I think, I always thought who in hell would want a puny little box, mind you I still kind of think the same, but a truck was for work, now I use it for bread and milk.
Welder and a chop saw? I have done that with a 57 1/2t and a 440 Imperial.
Club cab's are handy as with the dog always along, someplace for the wife to sit.

But it's funny, I've heard some people now say they think Regular Cab trucks look wierd. I guess it's whatever you like. Right?
I have similar feelings for the 4 door wrangler. When they debut, all I could think is what have you done jeep! 16 years later 2 doors extent.

Custom ordered my '22 Express. This is the most fun-to-drive truck I've owned. Like the OP, I love the sport appearance that comes with the Express trim. I skipped the "express value package" in order to keep the vinyl seats and floor, as such I have to upgrade the wheels to 20s myself. The only thing I added on the inside was an upper glove box, which really finished up the interior nicely.

Nice truck! That upper glove box looks great. Mind posting a link or telling where you picked it up?

Found this online. Used on eBay and Amazon are double for some reason. Some dude with a sleeve tattoo gives a tutorial on YouTube. Does not look overly difficult.

That's the same price as a vendor here on the Forum. We get really good deals from Benny there and possibly free shipping too.

They may look "weird" because four-door trucks are so much common today. Especially to younger people who have never existed before four-doors became popular.

Beauty is subjective, anyways. To me the Chevy Avalanche is uglier than a '61 Plymouth, especially the early years with all that ridiculous cladding.

Bought my RCSB 2019 in 2022. Had to drive to Bristol Tennessee to get it. Could not find any decent ones in Indy. All over 100k miles and wanting new truck prices. Just put bed stripes on.View attachment 527726
Are those wheels finished in dark chrome? They look super on your truck!

Anyone installed tow hooks on the front? Can’t for the life of me figure out why ram would not install these on a 4wd.

Yes on the tow hooks. If you search out "tow hooks" you should find a lot of information, and tips on installing them on some models.

So do all regular cabs have one push down window controls but no one up? My 2017 2500 has one push both ways. Not the 2022 classic regular cab. This creature comfort has spoiled me.

I kind of liked the 'custom' look of your old tk. :D

Just kidding...new one looks fantastic (it IS a new tk, right?)
