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... ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/1343795-scratchchin.gif) 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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif) 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. ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/Twocents.gif)

Russ ![](/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/bow.gif) took the pic, I stole it! But probably my favorite square Dodge pic!
It takes gasoline to interest me.
