tell me about it. I put twice as much as the truck is worth in other parts. And not a dollar into the engine (expect oil and filters).

The one on the left is in the worst condition. The other side is caved in and both rear quarters have holes. The cab floor and mounts are also gone. The middle one is mint other then the dodge peely paint. I did a frame off resto on the 93 on the right. Paint is comming soon for that one.

They are great trucks, I'd like to get another one to tinker on and what not and compare... when i find a screamin deal on one, i'll probably go pick it up. They definately catch my attention everytime i see a 1st gen though, theres not too many left anymore.
