i would keep the 98.
1. i like the body style better 2. it appears to serve your needs perfectly fine 3. it has proven track record in terms of service.
Only advantage to the 03 in my eyes is the extra pedal on the floor. i am a manual trans snob.
Good luck.

I know that the 03 has a better cab more room, bigger engine and a stronger driveline but really like my 98. Plus the 98 has all the little touches that I like and just looks so much better in my opinion. I may have to drive the 03 for a week or two and see if it grows on me. Both trucks are rust free and with my dump bed, you could eat off of the 98 frame. Tough Choice! Plus if I get the 03 I will have to lift it a bit, get wheels, tires and a tuner box.
I look at it this way, my 98 is a 69 Charger in looks to me, and the 03 looks like a 74 Charger. Yes the 74 Charger is a better built vehicle but still a 74 vs a 69 in the looks department.
I know what you going through I traded off my 99 ram for the 08 ram kinda wish I didn't...but I starting to like the 08..

I guess I just don't understand. You have a truck that is doing the job now. It has nothing wrong with it. You like it. You trust it. Its paid for. You are looking at a truck that you don't know very well, don't like how the truck looks, have to sell the truck you love to buy it, and finance it on top of the whole mess? You want to know what I would do? I would quit looking at trucks until you need one, which is not now. Keep the 98. Gene
