If you were closer I could give you most of the parts you need to fix your truck. I'm using my new grill and modified rad support on the new truck, so all the old stock stuff is laying is a trash pile in Goodrich, TX. Even the stock front bumper in perfect condition. And those are hard to find wit hthe plastic.

If your leaking gear oil then its the inner seal inside the diff. Next to the ring and pinion.

So i got to working on my baby and got all the damage off of her and thank you RCREED for all the help. All in all it only took about an hour to get the frender off and two hours for the core support. But it only took an hour and a half to pull all the parts off RCREES's parts truck. So then with it all pulled apart it was a good time to kill the KDP. So R.I.P KDP or sould i say i'll R.I.P. now that its done heres some more pics of the truck

fender off working on the core support


all done for the night

and i really like this one lol

Sorry, as much as I like the dodge girl, she's gotta go. Gotta keep things G rated Hate to see her go, tho...


again thanks for all the help RCREED and to everyone on this forum

Jim
