Like my MOPARS, like my Diesel, finally combined the 2

Grew up with MOPARS, just seemed like being cheap I all ways ended up with the cheap and plentiful gas Fords. Then finally graduated to a Ford Powerstroke extended. Now I got me a Dodge!! Lookin forward to when it hits the road (see pic you'll understand why it may be a few months. ) Probably saw it on here, it was in the classifieds (funny part was we bid against this guy at the auction and finally gave up, after about 4 months he decided he wanted something else.)

04.5 2500 4wd crew cab, 46k, short box with a sweet 6 speed (love rowin my own), silver, basic truck down to rubber floors, painted steel wheels (remind me of the old MOPAR Rallyes), manual seats, windows, and locks, but does have A/C and C/C. Also has hard tonneau and box liner.

All ready gonna get its first upgrades with a complete AirRaid intake system (stock got kinda crushed), and rough country dual steering stabilizers.

Gonna make a great truck when done.

Welcome to DTR!!!! I'd think the first "upgrade" would be a new fender, hood, bumper, etc., etc.

Can you say ouch, really don't know what happened besides an accident with enough damage that the Insurance Company totaled it then off it went to auction.

Ya I got them (the required upgrades(I believe all?? I'll need is the fenders, bumper, headlight, tail light, steering stabilizers, air box, battery box, some other misc plastic, a brake hose and one 265/70/17 Toyo Open Country A/T)), hood suprisingly is OK, the truck is at the frame shop getting a pull right now. Then it will be body work time, won't be much though.
