Hello all, looking for tips and tricks. A little background, my first vehicle was an 84 Mighty Max long bed 2wd I owned from 1991 to 1993. I recently purchased a 1988 Dodge Power Ram 50 4x4 automatic long bed. The fellow I bought it from said it needs timing chains and included them in the sale. The motor appears stuck on first inspection but I plan to pull it, replace the head, overhaul with rings and bearings and make it a daily driver. I will separate the body from the chassis, blast and either paint or powder coat it. They salt in the winter so I am trying to preserve the truck and make it last. It has some rust, rockers etc but the rest looks in great shape and the frame has some scale but mainly surface rust. I don’t own “beaters” and cherish these older vehicles significantly. I bought this to have a cool run around and daily commuter. I am looking for parts sources, what I should do since I will have it pulled down briefly etc. Any advice, tips, tricks will be greatly appreciated.
