1989 dodge ram 50 build thread
New to the site, but I figured since I started tearing into the truck I'd go ahead and start a build thread. So here's the run down, got a ram 50 yesterday, and not I commence with working her over, and making her my own. this truck is a 2.0 g36b powered 5 speed "monster" lol. Seriously though, it runs with the factory motor after sitting for 3 years. I primed the carb, and put a hot battery in it, and away she goes. It needs a noticeable amount of TLC. That's what I'm making my primary goal for now. I have a few pics of her that i'll share to get thing started off.

In order from left to right: first loaded onto trailer(rear damage not shown); freshly powerwashed in the next 2 pictures; the next 2 were this morning, got the bed pulled off and ready to start cleaning the frame and doing any repairs need to the frame before getting started on the flatbed.
I am going to start on that in the next couple of days when I get a scrap trailer im going to break down and repurpose. this will be a budget build to the max if i can keep it that way. or at least until i can get things together to swap it. still keeping in mind im a tightwad and would rather build it than buy it.
Anyway here it is for now, I'll update as progress comes rolling in on this baby.
