I have a feeling they might start offering manual hubs as an option in the future. Seems like there is enough demand for it.

 

Watch for the next Ram HD to have a DTR Edition

Manual Hubs, Manual T-Case, Winch, 7Spd Stick, lockers....

Im gonna buy two and seal one in cosmoline!

 

They said if you want them to keep asking

 

I still want a Glider kit

 

Forgiveth my ignorance, but this is????

 

that is a new truck without a driveline,i am not sure h/d trucks still make them because of title troubles example 2010 truck with an older driveline and with all the comp. on new trucks makes this an impossibilty

 

LOL, I would actually borrow money to buy a truck like that...........and I have a blood pact with Greenie.

 

They are still selling them as of 2010...take a look at some big rig dealers...many advertise brand new 2010 glider kits with pre 2007 engines

I can only dream

Brand new truck...put the driveline i want in it at home

P pumped common rail and 7 speed spicer

 

Ill take TWO!

 

Don't know how you'd p-pump a common rail engine but I still want a new 1st Gen dadgummit! Or even a crew cab 2nd Gen.

 

I was just thinking, whoever bought the dies from Chrysler, could start poping out new parts and re-make the truck(like year one did with the chevy) i think there would be a lot of demand for those parts!!! or whole truck...

 

I lost all my links, but this(Ted sterner) was one of the first places to do it. There are several companies offering kits and individual parts to do it now.

Can you imagine Being able to order a Dodge or ford like this?


Maybe Im the only one....But i would actually buy a new truck if i could get a Glider kit.

 

That is sweet...

 

That's my point. I have no desire to buy any of the newer emissions-choked vehicles. I refuse to take an economic hit on buying a truck who's sticker price is almost as much as I paid for my house and land that can't even get close to 20 MPG. Hell my 17 year old truck can easily get 20+ if I keep my foot out of it and when it breaks I can fix it myself for cheap. The same can't be said for any of these new trucks. And I'm not even going to get started on the cotton picking DPF bravo sierra that we have been strong-armed into accepting.

If I can't get a new complete 1st Gen or a CC 2nd Gen then I'd sure be interested in a glider kit like you posted. Then I can get a new body and frame and put a decent drive train in it.
