No pics, but as I've said before, yours is nearly a clone of my 1990 that I bought spankin' brand new October of 1989, also a V6 5-speed. Mine had a cloth seat, and that same horrible tape stripe. Funny, my passenger door got damaged... Anyway, best Dodge I ever bought (rather leased)! Enough power for my uses (home renovations), honest 24mpg in daily driving, and just plain nice truck! I should have never turned it in at the end of the lease. No pics of the truck, here is the house it helped renovate! It was boarded up and abandoned when I bought it.

Wish I could find something like that for $300 as a decent starting point for a little short bed hot rod.

Russ took the pic, I stole it! But probably my favorite square Dodge pic!
It takes gasoline to interest me.
