Hi all, here are some pics of my truck, Bruce. In my profile, I have some pics of my old cummins as well. Too bad he was a POS...but I loved him none the less. The engine was amazing but everything else was so badly taken care of by the past owner that I had to sell him. I now have a dodge dart..which will be traded in for something a little better...hopefully a new cummins 3500 dually pretty soon. I still have Bruce, my 1998 1500 though. 5.2 Sport with towing package. He is amazing. Also have a 1973 roadrunner.
I'd be interested in people's opinion's of how to make my truck better...if I should lift it about 2 more inches or leave it the same, and maybe how to get it to go a little faster!
It's a mud truck for fun but hauls my horses around for work! So I have a 3 horse trailer that weighs about 5000lbs and my horses in there add up to about a 7500lb total weight. Great for an old 1500!
I plan on restoring it and showing it eventually. I am re-doing the inside...cracked dash. Center console attachment is dying. Top console is not there anymore...its in my tool box. Need new headliner....which I am doing in dark cowhide. Will put tow mirrors on...new tires. Needs new tie rods...just worn out. Obviously needs paint, which will be same color. I want to take the grille guard off and get a bully guard with a winch. I don't like putting full bumper ranch hands on 1/2 tons to ease up on the weight and suspension. No muffler or any exhaust pipe past the cab. Has a CIA. Stock engine and tranny and running strong.

Thanks guys!

My best friend named my truck "bruce the love truck" when we were in high school....she would run up and give it a kiss every morning. And yup I'm a girl.
