Gee, I had to get stuff the hard way in the eighties, LOL...spent a lot of good truck project money the wrong way.....I know those shots hurt, just got one in my knee last week, but it does help....I am goin full steam again!


So really, We really really want a truck smiley, the truck is already done......Show us we are worthy!!!...Pleeeeease! we will clean our rooms and feed it when it needs to be fed,and cleanup the mess too...pleeeeease!

I will even do the dishes and the laundry too may we purty purty please have a truck smiley , i promise i will never ever complain again

Mebbe we will get one by the time we get to page TEN....That will call for a PARTY!...on either account...errrr both!

And we will awww, nevermind....LOL

well page ten doesnt seem to far off so lets get busy and see what happens , a truck smiley would be great ,_______, fill in the blank, see if we can be creative with this . i think a truck smiley would be great because trucks are a part of the great tradition of dodge

I think a truck smiley would be great because after all they did help win world war two!....We could be speakin another language and not be free if not for this...not to mention the diesel pickup revolution....which really helped Dodge survive the 80's....

Ya could percieve this guy.... as a diesel truck takin off.....diesel smoke, LOL
had a truck smiley and they didnt know it...
so I am a lil twisted as to the way I see things sometimes....

Old Goat, If it were me, I would get the parts to make the '89 a runner.

i think you should always try to make runners try to save them all a truck smiley would make so many people happy!

I was wonderin since the 89 is a 4wd, how one would handle lowered, with better sway bars and gas shocks?...probably fantastic!
I am thinkin a 360 warmed over, and about 235/60 tires....3.73 gears
I just wish it was a shortbed.
I already located a good transfer case for it.but I am gonna swap cabs between the 83 shortbed and the 89 4wd, cause I really want all the creature features...from the factory. I want the 4wd to be more of a good handling different angle toy.

I don't know if y'all checked out the ad that Bzzzzz had on the truck parts for sale awhile back, but we struck a deal on the parts truck he had for sale...is a shortbed (84 I think)...has a/market lowered lower control arms,and some very useable body parts...truck is wrecked...rearended...no engine/trans
so I guess there will be more parts and pieces shuffled into the 'ol 84 driver, like the arms, and the pass side door I need..if the chassis isnt bent too badly, I will use it too eventually.
Right now I have so many projects lined up I will be an ancient goat by the time I am done with em all...Oh well, I live for it!
Looks like a trip to Kansas is in order in two weeks!!!!...a Moparts friend is goin with me,if he can!


still think the truck smiley would be a welcome addition to all....

pretty tough to lower a 4x4 , at least lowering to a point where you might benefit from it, at least thats the way i see it , have we hit page 10 yet? and where is that truck smiley?

I don't think a smiley is in the cards... So thats what they think of us Truckers

Like I said, at least wehave the TRUCKS!!!!

And without the trucks, what do they tow their cars around with?

I cant say I know of many Dodge Truck TRAILER QUEENS!...and the ones that are get towed by a TRUCK....Most of the guys I know that race em drive em to and from the races...under their own power.

So I still don't understand what the problem with a smiley is...

Just an observation, not to say there is anything wrong with a true show or race truck ON a trailer.

oops we slipped to page 2 , how did that happen? how far do you guys live from a track? im not sure i wanna drive mine 45 miles on a freeway to get to the track that just sounds like too many RPM for too long, am i being a wuss? wait , Bill dont answer that!

Tulsa is the closest one to me, and it is 50 miles......No comment Pokey....LOL
The MINIMUM speed is 45 on the hiway here....

When I was in Amarillo, the track was about 10 miles away....and I could get there on mostly backroads...if I wanted to.
Lubbock is a much better track, and is 100 miles or so from Amarillo.....never raced there.
