Hi everyone. I am a member on many other Mopar forums. I have been a Mopar since I was little. My Dad has had many and set the course for me. I have a 70 'Cuda, 1969 Valiant 2 door post, and a 1976 D100. I am working on trying to get a 2001 Ram 3500 from my Dad. He bought a 2018 Ram 3500 a few years ago and since then he has said he would sell me the 2001 "when the new wears off" of his 2018. I'm waiting! LOL
I even bought a 2019 Ram 1500 Ecodiesel while waiting for that new to wear off Dad's 2018 but sold it because it wasn't going to cut it for what I want to tow and there is some EGR issues with those Eco's. They like to burn.
About the truck that brought me here, the 1976 D100, it is an old CalTrans truck. CalTrans is the CA DOT and this was a supervisors truck or maybe just hardly used because it is in great shape for what it is. There is hardly any rust on it. The drip rail is dry and the rocker and floors are solid. The grill is dent free. I paid a little more than I wanted because I was so taken with how here wasn't rust where they all seem to get rusty and the grill. These grilles are like tin foil! The only rust is in the bed at the front. It had a matching paint bed toolbox on it. It looks as if it were a day two piece. Same color, shows the same aging. Makes sense if it was a Cal Trans truck.
Sadly, it's for sale. I'm trying to get the 2001 3500 Cummins from my Dad so if I can sell this I'll be able to finally buy it. Pics will be coming soon.
