Guys, I've gotten many calls, lots of interest. Please remember this is a truck with a $4,500 reserve NOT a $14,500 reserve. It needs further work but is a great start. It is drive-able and I've done many mechanical improvements over the last year which was most important to me. It is a rare style/ trim combo shortbed Dodge and very worthy of additional effort.

Also new: battery, alternator,Right power window motor, all hoses and belts, coolant reservoir and washer reservoir replaced with nice originals, original jack refirbished.Other needs: emerg. brake cable, various areas of minimal rust. Again, very original including paint but it has some 32 year old areas if you want to make it all nice and shiny.I've added some pics of motor and under which is in good shape but has typical surface rust areas. Runs very very smooth. Will need front end parts soon, tie rods etc.Radiator surround has rust thru on very bottom, very prone and typical area on these but not effecting anything. Just an fyi.Gosh, can't think of anything else right now but feel free to call or inquire.Bought it to haul my motorcycle around. Seriously, a lot of truck for the money.Will be adding a car to my house with a teen driver coming of age and simply need to make room!!
