Sit in a barn for the last 20 years but started every month or more often, the owner is 86 and sadly dying. They want $2500 for it, said the only thing wrong with it is some rust on the rear bumper and light rust on rear quarters. Only one pic and it looks like the dash is cracked bad, can replacements be found ?

Glad to be a member, I am very active in forums and like to help others whenever I can. If anyone could give me tips on what to look for tonight I would really appreciate it.
WELCOME ram6150 ~ a covercraft dash cover will make the dash look new again, check out my photo albums ~ sad the owner is dying so the family probably needs the $2,500 pretty badly ~ I think that is a nice truck, the paint might be OK to just polish out ~ let the engine warm up good & on startup be looking at the tailpipe for blue smoke

Have FUN with your cool new truck
