    85 ram 50 royal 2.6L 5 speed

    I just picked this up for free and I was wondering about parts for it. It has a perfect clutch and all the gears shift smoothly it just does not have any brakes whatsoever, literally, the drums are in the bed and the lines puke fluid. Haven't touched it yet. Running a little rough because its sucking up old fuel from the bottom of the tank but I've seen it run without problems. Just been sitting for 3+ years in a couple different buildings.

    87xxx original miles, chevy s10 leather bench seat, some kind of homemade wood bed that was an utter failure and looks god awful. Tires are brand spankin' new and they have NO dry rot whatsoever thanks to it being parked inside all this time. It starts on the first key turn even below freezing. Have the title for it as well. Just need to pay off my car before I get this on the road.

    Actually the rivets popped out of the plaque, I found the plaque in the glovebox under the owners manual!

    Right on. Anybody here from Illinois? I'm trying to find a bed for it because it would look so much better!

    I'm thinking about just keeping the ugly flatbed and just doing a couple modifications to it so it isn't so awful. I need all new brakes all around but I don't know what exactly isn't salvageable since I haven't had the chance to get under it as it's been raining damn near nonstop here all week.
