Yours is much nicer than mine was. But I guess you can't expect much from an ex-Military turned township truck to be very pretty after 23 years. Nice work, hope you enjoy many miles in that truck.

I must admit that prior to purchasing a Dodge Cummins diesel I knew nothing about these older Dodges.
But now I find these trucks & Cummins swaps totally cool.

Great work and build up.
Unique, totally modified but looks factory.

For anyone reading this, here is a link to Ken's excellent buildup thread.

Post up more pics of the finished truck Ken!
