I'd love to go the a stick but I have a couple bb727 and a married 205 which would be cool. But then I'd want to convert to part time 4x4. So as of right now just going to try and build it with all these left over parts or sell/trade what I need. Everything I've done in the past has always been way off budget. I just couldn't see this one go the crusher. Plans are to try and keep the look ,no repaint roll it like it is try to fix and clean up what I can while making it look original. It's funny I told my self I didn't need it but as I walked around I would look at stuff it needed and say ok I have that and that. So it just felt right. Get Real Get Mopar

After I used it up I still sold it for $1200, so just think what your truck would be worth in the Midwest.

Here in California at least in SoCal inflate the prices saying rust free etc, they don't give you the real scoop on smog or reg fee. With this truck it was a right time rights place and on my part having the parts to finish which makes it a good deal for the seller and myself. Get Real Get Mopar
