Thats an awful lot of vehicle for a little 273
Thanks. It was literally an Overnight Transformation. On December 23rd the clutch blew out of my other Ram 50 (1992 2.4L 5-Speed 4x4 with an M90 Supercharger). I might have thrashed on her a little too hard trying to yank down a Red Oak for firewood and collapsed the pressure plate in the process.
I was without a vehicle (my turbo diesel dakota 4x4 needed tires and a tail pipe, my '84 D50 needed rust repairs and a bed, my '92 D50 needed a clutch), so 6 of my friends showed up after work and we pulled off an early Christmas Miracle. We replaced the doors, replaced the bed with a dumpbed, fixed the dents and rust and sprayed it and had my '84 back on the road by Christmas Eve.
It started out looking like this (A few years ago). That pickup bed was a Rust Free Southern bed off an '83 2wd...
That same bed spent 3 years exposed to the crap they spray on the roads in PA and it looked like this.
Also the Passenger side Door (from the same southern truck) fell off when I opened it on December 23rd.
In roughly 24 Hours it transformed into a nice truck again, thanks to help from my friends. Oh yeah, it's got a pretty ridiculous amount of lift too. Lifted makes it pretty nice taking it up 1800's stone quarry trails to get firewood, thats some rough terrain at times
