I see where ur comin from on the price... when I think of a similar truck, like a 78 chevy short bed 1/2 ton 4X4, I wouldn't pay that for it because it's a chevy, and very common, nothing special, just a short bed 1/2 ton with a 350. lol... But to me, it seems the dodges are not as common, more unique, i never see them around here. and i've been on the lookout for a dodge truck, but never came across any...
And I hear ya on the gas, my 77 chevy is a major gas guzzler, i only drive it every now and then, to cruise around, and enjoy a nice sunny day. lol this truck here is much nicer than mine though. lol and i have all kinds of speed parts id put on it, manifold, cam, headers, carb. lol
I do understand the smog part of it, my chevy is tuff to smog..:l but i'll make sure once i open the hood..
