Thanks! Wish I could take credit for it but kept it looking decent for over 5 years now. My 95 Dakota looks like it went through hell and back! At least it's not beat up but it is fairly worn out.
Lets see your Dodge trucks! Post some Pic's!

1969 Dodge D100
Meet Madge (wife named her)
1969 D100 custom cab, long bed 1/2 ton, 250k one previous owner, original paint, 318LA, Stromberg WW 2bbl, A727TF, manual steering and brakes.
Total survivor: Never rebuilt, trans and motor never separated, Alternator(dated) , shocks, Master cylinder, wheel cylinders etc all original to this truck.
Updating many things as it sat on a driveway in central California for 20 years.
Started and drove, changed all fluids, plugs, wires, cap and rotor: three days later drove her from Modesto to Palm Springs, in the pouring rain, loaded!
The day I picked her up.

I added a bed cap to my 2017 Ram. It's an ARE brand, and paint matched to my original paint.
I like the newer truck, and it has some advantages over my older trucks, but my 1974 D200 Club Cab with a 440 is still my favorite:
