    I had a 91 with 360 that looked just like that minus the Ram on the hood...Best truck I ever had although it did look a little old manish!

    Now I see she is for sale...9K, how many miles!

    Xactly!
    And changed the history of the light-duty truck market (otherwise known as the HD pick-ups) forever.

    But what drives me really crazy is, the "cummins" diesel that put dodge on the map was not used in the ram 1/2 ton. FCA used their own (problematic) VM Motori diesel instead. And it flopped.

    Cummins and the EPA developed the v8 cummins for 10 years for 1/2 ton trucks/suv's market then FCA screwed it up!
    Ultimately the Nissan got the cummins...and four years later, nissan's diesel line flopped.

    I'm implying that cummins worked WITH the EPA. Like a joint venture.

    I picked up these...241 Dodge and 330 Desoto. I'd like to find a '32 - '38 Dodge/Plymouth pickup for the 241, use a '75ish up (overdrive) A833 4 speed and I know I have a Chrysler B body 8.75 rear somewhere laying around.
