maybe you could drive my ole 93 for a few months and send it home like that alls i can say is wow BC nice ride.

 

sniff sniff... Do I smell a future truck of the month in here?

 

Thanks for the kind words folks.

The color is Forest Green. I recall quite well upon first seeing the truck at the dealer, "Is that blue?". And there seems to be just as much blue as green in the mix.


Funny story ~ I custom ordered the truck as you see it and as a result, we had to wait quite a few months for it to be built and shipped. Ordering it without cab lights threw them for a loop. The dealer I bought it from had just picked up the Dodge truck line and this one was his second sold. Being custom ordered, it came to the dealer straight from the factory I guess . . .. .

So I got this phone call to the effect: "David, your truck is here but there's a problem. There's something terrible that has happened to the paint. It's majorly flaking/clouded".

He told me that I'm welcome to come look at it and as it stood, they are prepared to offer me another truck, or perhaps have this one painted. He was crapping his pants!

Upon arrival, I saw that the truck appeared to have been sprayed with something that had made the paint . . ... goober-up . . . ?

LOL!! On my way to the dealer, a mechanic was checking out this new truck and found a bottle of some stuff under the seat. "To remove factory applied protective coating, mix contents with one gallon of water and wash vehicle with solution".


Needless to say, the dealer was glad to give me the good news.

 

Gasgano's ride, DennyT's ride, My ride.

 

I have to say, 1st gens have the best paint schemes!!! They just don't paint trucks like that anymore!! Great trucks, all of you !!

Dang!! Its all dark. Oh well the mental picture is clear as a bell!

 

Heres mine. Its a 92 D250 auto. Wife tried to talk me into buying a new one in 2002, then I came to my senses. I had to put a new injection pump on it about a month ago. Other than that, its still the same truck. Runs and pulls great.

 

Hey, rbrettctd, send me those pics so I can brighten them up.

Here is the only one I got from that night. I to had to brighten it up.
I think my old Kodaks days are numbered. Its about time for a new one...

 

Ill get them to ya. Too bad we didnt snap one while it was still light.

 

Hey great looking truck you guys have even though the picture is dark. Oh and BC847 my apologies I though that your truck looked black

 

Alright, nice looking rigs. Cant wait for Deleon. It oughta be a good time

 

BC847-
That is a beauty. Love it!

 

Just picked this up...overkill for what I need in a truck, but I always wanted one! I'm sure there's nobody else on here like that. In my defense, I am trying to buy some acreage and build a house this year.



It needs some work, but I'm looking forward to seeing it improve. Fortunately, the body is reasonably straight and the engine runs great. At under 140k miles, it's just a baby! The biggest concern is what seems like the rear seal leaking into the bellhousing. Any ideas how long before it toasts the clutch? The flywheel looks wet, so there's a fair amount getting in there. Beyond that, the bent receiver hitch frame, ugly hitch wiring, non-functional cruise control, buying rear tires to match the newer fronts and the really poky passenger window will need attention.

It's white with the gray interior, a major selling point for me. After I get the basics in order, guages and exhaust are probably going to be the first mods. No tach on a 5-speed truck is criminal! I live within spitting distance of Stan's Headers, and they seem to be highly recommended on here. I'll be trying to soak up as much info from the group and will probably ask some newbie questions, so help (and patience) will be much appreciated!

 

Welcome and is that really overkill?? Man, I need to get my truck straightened and painted soon! All these nice trucks make mine look ugly
