    New Dodge Ram 50 owner, just purchased 2wd short box

    Hi all and could use a little advice. My new truck is a 1990 2WD Ram 50. It is the very bottom of the line basic truck. No radio, no power steering, no anything. It is however a gem with only 16,328 miles on it. It belonged to Boeing and was assigned to the supervisor in charge of hazardous spill cleanup. It was parked inside all the time and saw little use. Has only a few scratches in the bed and on the inside of the tailgate and virtually none outside on the body.

    I bought an original 1990 Mitsubishi radio and plan to put that in some day. It has a rubber plug to remove to install an antenna. I'd like to find an original antenna for it. What I would like to also like to do is add power steering, so I need to find the gear pump reservoir and all brackets and pullies. I inquired about a rebuilt power steering gear on Ebay but they won't sell one without a core.

    When you click the Insert Image button in the posting toolbar, then browse for a file to upload from your computer, just below that there's a button that says "Upload file(s)", but it doesn't look like a button until you hover your mouse cursor over it, so you may just be overlooking that.

    Thanks, but it's not an east coast truck. It came from Seattle and now lives in my building in Southern Colorado where it remains nice and dry.

    Think yours must be one of the rarer ones on the road in that shape!

    Unfortunately, it did not. I'd sure like to add AC if I could find all the factory parts someday.
