I hear ya! my tailgate was in good shape but the paint was chipped from hauling stone years ago , I touched it up but the paint didn`t match. The truck had a painted step bumper when I bought it new, I bought a used chrome one at Carlisle a few years ago and this past winter I bought a roll pan from Summit and installed it. I just got it out of the body shop about a month ago having the tailgate, roll pan, area behind pass.door ( paint was thin from the factory) and pass. door repainted ( had weird cracks in the paint ). Since I also race the truck I have M/T drag radials on M/T wheels on the rear, I took them off and put my regular street tires/wheels back on so they match the front just this afternoon. Our cool Dodges get looks and compliments when we drive them it will be interesting to see what the old truck crowd thinks. It will be my first time going there, Should be Cool!

got that nascar dirt track truck look with the petty blue and the steelies.
tuck the rears in a tad and drop it down some over the wheels...man it just makes me all giddy and want to dirt track a lap or two.

Here's our 1st generation Cummins, the green is a 1985 "Johnny Cash Special", we got it one piece at a time. The red one is a 1990 I restored in 2006 & sold it due to health issues, about a month ago a friend sees it listed in the local bulletin board so I brought it home again. Surprisingly it was in as good of shape as when I sold it. I used the 91-93 grill to allow for the intercooler on the 90 (I know they didn't start using intercoolers until 91, don't tell me something can't be done) and I just couldn't afford a NOS 85 grill for the green one.

I bought it for $4k in 99. Pretty sure the paint was relatively fresh then. The truck was originally silver and black, so maybe only the burgundy was fresh. The last time I saw I saw it in person was 3-4 years, and the silver was getting thin...Either way, the price IS a little optimistic. You have to remember that those of us in Ontario have to pay a premium for clean sheetmetal, and this truck was very nice, top and bottom. I still kick my own butt for selling it.
Nothing to see here. Carry on.
