My 1995 Dodge Ram 1500

[josein06gli]

This is my project truck guys and recently its received a full tune up including plugs and wires and fresh fluids everywhere. A rebuilt rear end, a walbro 255 in tank fuel pump. Soon to come is tint whenever I get around to doing it. Truck was father in laws b4 he passed away 2 years ago and I plan on restoring it. I peeled off what seemed to be forever old tint and polished the wheels by hand here in my garage.

Bought these 2 days ago....thanks Craigslist.

Looks good Jose. Can't wait to see it all finished up! The stock rims polished up nicely. It's common on the Gen. 2 Rams to get that headlight fade. They make glass replacement ones, Id recommend those.

I like this. It's like a mid-life touch up restoration. Seems like fun. Good luck with it, man. Can't wait to see some more pics.

No worries.
I like the red. Spray in bedliner is good though. I've had the plastic ones and they just break down over a few years. Maybe upgrade the speakers too. They are kinda crappy in the dodge.

So jealous of how rust free that looks.

My 94 toyota pickup is next door to being scrapped for no real reason other than salted winters.

Yeah, they usually turn the thing into a flatbed, then the cab gives out and it's gotta be scrapped.
Sadly some of those 'Yota pickups will run forever.
And those new wheels are a much welcomed improvement over the old swirls...
