Hello, after making the mistake of buying a bullnose Ford and beating on it for around 4 years, I finally decided to get another Dodge and get back to my roots. Today I scored a 1994 1500 with a 5.9 and it is 4wd for $600. The body is straight, the glass is good, the dash and interior is messed up like most neglected Rams. The motor has a blown rod, hence the price point. The running gear seems fine with no leaks, and it drove straight. I think that with the low price I can afford to give it the attention it needs and come out on top anyway. I'm excited to have a Dodge again. I 've had 10-12 Dodge Chrysler vehicles over the years, my favorite was a 1983 truck that I held onto for 15 years. It started as a D-150, then I found W-350 donor truck and swapped my body to it, beat on that for a few years, but had to sell it. After that I had a 1995 Ram 1500 Ext cab, lifted 6" with 35's, and had to sell that. After that I bought the Bullnose Ford, which I've done a lot of work too. It is a sweet truck for a Ford, but I just don't like how they are built. So finally, I have a Ram.
Aside from rebuilding the engine, I would like to rebuild the transmission and Transfer case, plus beef them both up. I haven't crawled under it to check which gear boxes I have yet, but will do that soon.
