Wallace's Facelift: 1984 Ram 50 4D55 Restoration
Well I didn't post this truck on the craigslist thread because I was too selfish to share the find. I found this truck about 5 weeks ago and had some friends go and take a look at it. Picked it up out of Idaho and it's currently at my folks place in northern Utah. This truck is mostly original. The hood, tailgate, and wheels were repainted as of 12 months ago and the tonneau cover was also a recent addition from the previous owner. The truck has the G63B motor which I am not familiar with, and the truck odometer reads 240K. For that mileage the truck is really in amazing shape. This is the 2nd Ram 50 I've bought in the past 10 months and this one is for keeps. I looked all over it this last weekend and I couldn't find any rust on it anywhere... whatsoever! Even the frame is still painted black with some chips in places. I paid a whopping $1600 for it. It runs a little rich and the engine has definitely lost some power due to time and wear, but it is really a well maintained truck. I'm excited to start the project. Probably won't have time until after I finish my schooling but I'm still excited for the prospect. In the mean time I'll keep running Wallace. I have the wife's blessing so as soon as I have the set up I'll be putting the hours in. Hopefully by spring of 2016 I can start the process and finish in 10-12 months. I'll keep you all posted.
