I really hate to put this one up for sale, but I have too many projects and "sort of" projects at this point, and not enough time and room.  

1988 Dodge Ram50 extended cab with a 2.6L and a 5 speed manual.  Here's the build thread.  For a TL/DR, I bought it after it had been sitting for years, got it running, but have not been able to properly bleed the brakes.  Also, the cheap fuel pump I used died.  A better quality pump is included in the parts that go with it, and should be able to be rigged to allow it to be driven onto a trailer.

New parts over the last year:

  • Coil/ballast resistor
  • Plugs
  • Plug wires
  • Weber carb conversion (real Weber, not a clone)
  • Most of the brake hydraulics
  • Used 15" tires with date codes from this decade (original 14" wheels/tires come with it, too).

The bad:

  • It's an Ohio truck that has been sitting for years.  I'm sure once it is running and stopping, more will need to be done.
  • The rockers are rusty, but still exist.  (Maybe this should be considered good)
  • The interior still needs a thorough cleaning.

Asking $500.  Not overly interested in trades, but I'd consider partial trades in the form of a decent 110V drill press or a floor hydraulic press.  No cars, unless you have a dead C4 Corvette with a good body.  Otherwise, any potential trade has to take up less space than the truck does.  Located in southwest Ohio just a little east of Cincinnati.  I do have the title in my name.

Can't believe this isn't getting more attention.

Tim helped me remember I don't need it. I've been sending it around but everyone who would be interested is too far for a reasonable tow

I've thought about putting it up on the Radwood classifieds, but really don't want to mess with FBM if I can help it.

Bumping this one up.  Replaced the fuel pump, and improved its ground connection.  It now runs without jerry-rigging the fuel system.

Price drop to $500 on the GRM board the next week or two before I pull the ad and store it for the winter(or list it on FBM for a higher price).

I start typing up a message to you everytime I see this thread, but halfway through I remember that I also have too many projects and not enough time. I'm glad that you are outside of a reasonable day trip from me. Its far enough to prevent an impulse buy. It would go great with our 88 montero though
