Just picked up a little 1st gen gem a couple weekends ago. Needs a little work under the front end (not used to what dodge has going on under there).

has a little patch of rust on the front fender but original owner did the rockers and a repaint, not to shabby of a job. Was used as a farm truck pulling hay out in eastern PA.

It had a blown head gasket and was down for a while. She is running good now though. Yours looks really clean how many miles are on it.

I like the auto trans better myself. Once they are built right they work real good.

This is all stock, turned the pump a little still need to turn the screw a smidge. Just want it to get out of its own way. The 4bt is what I plan to do injectors and turbo on
