- Not too much to put here folks. This “new to me” dirty dodge needed a home and I had just the space for it. Cheap enough we could overlook her obvious issues, and with all the potential to be this years firewood delivery machine! So here’s to the first video with her, and some of the immediate fixes we made after getting her home. Stay tuned to see many more videos I’m sure as we drive and fix her up.

This just feels like OG youtube. No innecesary overdoned editing. Just a guy recording what he loves doing.
I can’t tell you how good that comment makes me feel.
@@MXguy95 - what year is that Dodge?
96@@bravesrule384
@@MXguy95Just wanted to say that I love that you found a 2nd Gen Dodge like this in very very good condition given how old it is. It's hard finding them like that where I live unless I go a state or so over. Love this video hoss, I'm gonna be coming back here to learn about this truck if you make more videos about it🤙🏻
Every other video now begins with, "Here's yo' boy backatchu with another video..." I hate fads.
For$500 you can’t go wrong with it
Jay my boy!
My thoughts exactly! 😂
@@MXguy95 bro r u from South Carolina???
man its amazing how you can find cars such cheap and restore them so easily. i think youtube is glitched because it says you have 2.2m likes…
That’s a lot of likes! Haha, but it’s a glitch, and I’m happy with any likes a video gets. I always find myself checking marketplace alot, but good deals are hard to come by. I lucked up with this one
That’s the good thing about the south you can still find good 500$ vehicles
@@jamesworkman686 yea, theres no good deals from dirt bikes to cars on fbm here in mass
but the transmission dude
mann i gotta go there illinois cars suck@@jamesworkman686
I love single cabs so much, having a bench seat and a buddy is just irreplaceable!
You need to listen to a song. It’s called “Me, and you, and a dog named boo” by Lobo. It’s a good summertime, windows down pickup truck riding song.
@@MXguy95 Thanks for the recommendation! I have such a loving spot in my heart for that kind of 70's music, but it'll be a bit before I can have a nice windows-down summertime ride to test it out!
@@MXguy95Just gave the song a listen, Very good song.
Between 2012 and 2014 I bought several cars for about $500 off of Craigslist or marketplace. Most of them were very dirty and had seized engine. I would spend 2-3 weeks on each car. Used parts are easily available in my area. By the time , I was done working on them, they ran and looked very new. I enjoyed working on these cars. You can never beat the feeling of turning a key on and drving a car you spent so much time at. It is a joy for every mile.
Man, that sounds awesome! I hope you made some good bucks!
A good running truck for 500 bones? Can't beat that! Easy repairs too, great work Jay.
You got that right!
What's scrap values at now a days? At 500 bucks I'm guessing you basically paid scrap value or no?
@goleafsgo8496 yup basically but a emaculate condition truck at scrap value.
That's the problem with marketplace. I recently bought a Mercury sable and there were four other people ahead wanting to look at it. Somehow I managed to get it because all four of them didn't show up. I consider that a stroke of luck. It was owned by a little old lady who took immaculate care of it but her family took away her keys when she had a run-in with a yellow safety pole that dinged the driver side door. I ended up fixing the damage by pulling off the plastics on the inside and manually working the dent out and now it looks as good as new. At only 125000 miles she runs good as new. Did I mention I only paid $1000 for it?
Bought me a 96 ram 1500 laremie, found it had a rusted out frame. Got a frame painted it, redid the suspension during swapping it over, new brakes. Rebuilt the engine and transmission during swapping them over. Decided to paint the truck while swapping them over too! Now I'm considering doing the interior also. THIS TRUCK WAS ONLY SUPPOSED TO GET A FRAME SWAP IN THE BEGINNING!!! YEP
“Fixing it up a little” is a slippery slope bud! Starts off as a cheap truck you got a good deal on, then the next thing you know your trying to fix a couple dents, spruce it up with some wax and BAM full on barn restoration 😂
@@MXguy95 yep, happening at this Moment...
$500 is an absolute steal. My bro-in-law had an old 79 Ford F100 2wd with rust all over the place and he sold it for over $4k on an online auction. I'd buy as many trucks like yours as I could all day long for $500.
Wow he did good! I would buy two or three more at this price too! But sadly, I think was a “ once in a while “ kinda of deal for me 😅
My goal once we finally get a house is to find a "junk" old car on FB and just fix it up myself, I've never worked with cars but your videos make it look really fulfilling. Just found your channel.
I’ve been watching your content for years. It’s really great to see you doing more long format stuff now these days!
I’m not as familiar with talking for that long! But I’m trying! I appreciate you sticking with me all this time !
@@MXguy95 Been hangin around here myself for many years. Seen a lot of cool stuff, and a lot of changes over the years. I don't comment often, but always like the content here. Cheers from Wisconsin.
@MXguy95 good content 👌 I have an addiction to obs ford f-150's I have 3 and a 2003 supercrew. And rehab is not an option 😂 new subscriber here!👍🏿
Anytime you can find a reasonably rust free truck that runs & drives for $500 today, you have a gem!! A few dollars & a little loving turned this into a decent ride! Kudos!👍
Gotta love a 2nd gen. Probably my personal favorite truck of all time. Not sure I’ve ever seen that blue either
I always wondered why dodge went so far with the styling when other trucks of the era were square and simple. I liked the square and simple… but after driving them and then owning some for myself I really get it. It was a huge step in a different direction for trucks to come. And dodge really made their trucks look like nothing else first and that style continued for generations of rams afterwards. Great trucks, good engines (in this generation anyway) and strong as an ox for what it is
Agreed!
@@MXguy95 Dodge had been selling basically the same truck since 1972 and had less than 5% market share. The genius behind the second gen ram was making it look so different from the Ford and Chevy. Love it or hate it, it got attention and their market share went up 4 or 5X during that generation. If they had put a square simple front end on it, nobody would’ve given it any attention.
1958 to 1970 my favorite ones.
Are you gonna do a follow up on this Ram ? Many of us are interested!!🤔
Man, that truck here in Central Florida, where the construction is still booming is $2000 all day! On top of that, we got people arriving from all over the world to live here. I check Facebook and Craigslist daily, and I got a similar deal for $500 in 2020, but that is it. Takes consistency, persistence and luck to get deals like that anymore. Good job!
Love your videos as always Jay! Pretty sweet for $500 and rather clean with not much wrong. Love this generation of the Ram and a lot of people I know own them as well. Good trucks and can't wait for another video on this one. Sweet find!
That truck was a pretty good deal Jay! Hard to come by those anymore. Truck cleaned up pretty good too. Gotta love them no frills models. Less to break.
thats a hell of a rig for $500 jay. i drove a 2500 v10 second gen as a work truck for a while and loved that thing to pieces. i also dont think ive ever seen one of these with an intact dash!
I live in the rust belt, you'll find original intact dashes up here, but at the price of the whole body being eaten by rust lol. I'm tempted to come down south and buy one of these to body swap onto a northern 4x4 frame because all the ones up here are ate up by rust in the worst way. Although the frames on these seem solid, don't see too many with rotted frames, just the bodies.
@@jaymoe5.7 im in the rust belt as well and i dont think ive seen a rust free example in a long time
@@x1warrior1x85 I've seen very few nice, rust free examples in the past few years. One was a guy who made a twister replica truck and told me it had parts from 4 other trucks on it and another owned by an elderly gentleman who never drove it in the winter and only used it to haul a camper down to Florida in the winters. Recently I did see a half ton forsale on marketplace that had 60k original miles and a torquestorm supercharger on it but otherwise looked completely factory but he was asking around $24k for it. I dunno man, rare to see nice ones up here but it's always nice when you do.
Thank you for taking the time to record this and posting it. Very very enjoyable to watch. God Bless
I love second gens, and even have two myself. They are the king of the cheap trucks as far as someone who knows how to work on their own stuff keeping them going as long as you repair the valley pan gasket and replace the sheet metal with aluminum, and keep your transmission serviced and bands adjusted.
Great video-looking forward to more on this Ram. Love the simple fixes to get it more roadworthy. More older truck videos(late 90’s/early 00’s) like this in the future would be fun to watch.
I can't believe that you found a running vehicle for under $1000! Several years ago I found a 98 Town Car for $900. Daily driver for several years. It replaced my old 85 Chevy Caprice woody wagon I got from a neighbor. The Town Car had just over 100k on it. Can you avoid an inspection and just put on "historic" tags (or equivalent there) like here in MD? I have never heard of someone replacing the striker plate! Good work man!
Been here for almost ten years watching you. Keep it up
These are great trucks. I like that you fix up a lot of broken cars and keep them on the road.
Good camera work and good editing, no bs and straight to the content, thanks for uploading.
Sweet Dodge! You don't see many stripped down 360 1500 Rams, seems like kind of a rare truck. I'd love to find a 2nd gen v8 on the cheap like this! Great video as always Jay.
Yeah and when you find them unless it's a fleet ordered company truck base model it's usually the 3.9 litre 239 cubic inch V6 very rarely is it a 5.2 litre 318, or the 5.9 litre 360 gas motors and a buddy of mine had a very frequent maintenance truck but started slipping because he couldn't afford to keep that up and other than the Indiana salt on the roads eating up the sheetmetal of the truck, it was 3 below zero and the 112k truck acquired a water pump leak at the bottom of the water pump and you couldn't see it,we just knew it was overheating and still had zero heat in the cab, well after two gallons of antifreeze and a gallon and a half of well water it finally stopped overheating and he drove it two miles down the road to his mom and dad's and said when he got up at 7am it was halfway down the radiator and after a few hours at 24 degree weather he got it to run and then went to top off the coolant and had to dig ice chunks out of the radiator and after that he drove it to town to put gas in it and go job hunting,,well he made it to the gas station and with a complete new fuel system it didn't want to start and left to go to McDonald's and grab a bite to eat and it instantly started overheating, drove it to Walmart and let it cool off and it was completely out of antifreeze so he went into Walmart and put antifreeze back in it and shut the hood ended up only going to three of the eight places he planned to put application and give his resume to.. he started driving it back out in the country towards his mom and dad's and got two half a mile from my house and it started overheating and rattling, and the truck had steam puffing out of the front of the 98 ram st long bed bare bones except the 360 and power windows, didn't even have am fm stereo cassette player, just Chrysler am fm clock radio,non ac, and we checked it over and then shut it off and let it cool off and checked the spark plugs every one was wet from coolant... I cleaned them up and we gapped them and put them right back in the truck and fought it to get it started for about 2 hours immediately noticed it now knocks!! My best guess the block froze because of the leaking water pump and it constantly overheating didn't just blow the head gaskets but cracked the both cylinder heads and maybe even the block, it had a rebuilt transmission but it ended up getting sold for scrap
great video. Love the 2nd gen, love how much you got done, can't wait to see more progress.
Really enjoyed this marketplace find and fix up, great content man would love to see more from you
Reminds of the 96 Dodge we had. Can't believe how clean she is for age. Great deal ❤
That shade of blue is exactly the same color my 97 Ram was. Just imagine a 4x4 SLT Laramie (power everything) and that was my truck. 😎 Brings back some good memories. Cool truck Jay! Good job on it! Thanks for sharing!
This is the first video of yours I came across, but I subscribed, I like these kinds of videos where you show that it’s possible to get a decent vehicle for a low price.
been watching him for years, still rewatch his old scrapyard videos, just quality classic type youtube videos
Love the video and I’m looking forward to more videos about the dodge. You got a good deal for sure and surprisingly it’s in great condition! Cheers
Jay, thanks for washing it. That’s a beautiful color on that truck. Good luck in fixing it up.
Jay thanks for fixing it up. Love a long bed regular cab Great for hauling firewood.
%00.00?? Damn where I live you'd pay closer to 2000.00 for it. You got yourself a steal even with the work you had to put in it. Way to go. 👍👍👍
I did a revive on a 1994 about 6 months ago. Same green color. I had to put a fuel pump in it and then found some mouse food wires. They are really good trucks, people just let the maintenance get too far ahead of them. Nice work cleaning up another one.
I love Andrew Camarata and i'm happy to see someone reference him. I just get so sucked into his hour long gravel laying videos or him randomly fixing stuff on his property. Great videos for both of you!
the first time I saw his channel it was the Family Computer history video he did. Little did I know the man built a castle out of containers. Binge watched a lot of vids that eve.
Agreed! I've seen all of his videos and even made a playlist of (almost) all of the videos + unlisted ones! Even spoke to him a couple of times in the comment section
Nice find for the price imo. My room mate has a 97 or 98 that is identical to this truck, only maroon instead of green. Hes clocked about 70k miles in all the years he's had it, and the only major issue he's faced is that the drive line shelled out at the rear end, which fortunately a buddy of ours fixed for a cool $100 parts included.
He paid $800 and it's carried him everywhere he needs to go for just about four years now.
Owned my 01 1500 sport for over 2 years now and its been a headache of a truck but no matter what i do to it that 360 will not die they are amazing engines that just keep chugging even after 200k+ miles.
I can’t complain, my others have absolutely been put through the ringer and held up great. I hope this one does the same. Putting a little work into it in the beginning I don’t mind, so long as it gives me a few good years of service in return
Good find ,nice little pick up. That 360 is a good engine. Keep up the videos my friend ,good job.🤠🇺🇸
23:17 The cheap Chicom ball joint "kits" will literally fall apart in a few months, at best. If you're gonna put the work into it, put something at least half-decent and raise the resale price to cover the difference. The buyer will be much happier having quality suspension parts in there, as opposed to something he'll need to replace soon.
Just found your RUclips really enjoyed the video . Can't wait to see what comes next . Keep up the good work brother
Nice job with the repairs Jay 🙂👍
Great job on all the fixes, Jay!
I like the second generations compared to the newer rams, my stepfather used to fix a lot of them, like Clifford, that had the broken dashes! We’ve actually borrowed a second generation from a dealership that he worked at and we would usually put a dash Matt on it I remembered you started out with the white one that you saved from the junkyard about four or five years ago!
@@user-dd3pl9ii2h grew up in 2nd gens, built multiple 318 and 360 LA engines and a few Magnum 360's for drag cars, and while those engines are damn tough, reliable and able to make power with a good set of heads there really isn't a comparison to the hemi in terms of power. I have a 2012 4th gen that I daily drive and I too deleted the MDS from mine but I tow with it a lot so I added heavier springs and helper bags in the rear. Tows a 8000lb trailer with 600-800lbs of stuff in the bed no problem and barely squats. However mine wiped a cam lobe at 157k miles so I replaced the cam with an off the shelf Comp cam and hellcat lifters a few years back and had it tuned. Now it's really a monster! They come factory with a tiny little baby cam in them, but once you add a bigger bump stick and get rid of the factory tune they really wake up! After doing this to my truck and making over 450hp with barely any mods I went and picked up a 392 BGE block out of a wrecked 2019 Ram heavy duty and a forged rotating assembly for it and I'm gonna do a twin turbo build on it for my 79 Plymouth Volare Duster drag car. I've seen similar combos to what I'm building make over 1100hp on the dyno with factory heads! But I have a set of AFR 224cc black hawk heads on order and I'm gonna top em with a Holley hi ram intake so hopefully I'll be able to make a bit more power. These hemi's are kinda spendy but man do they make power!
First time here and I simply love it. Great video, sir.
Good job on all the repairs. 😊
Love these kinds of videos , great video brother !
I bet a little wet sanding and compound and wax buffed and the paint could be restored. Charlie is a good dog!!
At least this 2nd gen had the decency to shed all of her clearcoat; mine is still hanging on to half of the clear, hiding the sexy ultra matte emerald green. Mine was sitting for 10 years in my driveway, started her to roll the tires occasionally. Got back to her this summer when I decided to sell my hybrid as I don't drive enough to own a newer car, working from home - hopefully stay that way til I retire in a few years. She passed emissions with what gas was left over from 2013. I ordered her several goodies for Christmas. She's my forever girl - 5 speed club cab.
New sub! Cool channel! I dig the wide assortment of different types of vehicles you work on. Right on!
Love the video man I can’t wait for the next video of this truck
I busted out laughing when you said Camaratta method. Are you going to replace the stereo with a chainsaw? LOL🤣
im a ford guy through and through, but i ended up with my grandparents 97 laramie ext cab, only vehicle they ever bought brand new. i do love that truck, that magnum is a ballsy engine. and that second gen is just a good looking truck that still stands out today. i didnt take care of mine like i should have and its completely rusted out now (ohio) but it makes me smile seeing life put back into that ol dodge
Jay, I remember seeing this Dodge on marketplace while searching for parts for my '97.
Honestly, that interior is worth more than the truck itself. In fact, you landed on a honeyhole if you had to part it out. That spruce green interior is an extremely rare color for 2nd gens. They were only available for the 96 & 97 model years, and was only available on Emerald Green & Bright White. They were available in cloth & vinyl on the WS (yours), ST, and SLT trims. The only other time I saw this color interior was in 1999, on a White 1997 Club Cab SWB 4x4 SLT.
Didn’t know the interior was that special, just assumed it was something for the base model trucks. I kind of like it this way.
I couldn’t believe I was able to get it, I knew someone would have beaten me to it
@@MXguy95 For $500 you scored big time! I'm just wondering if that truck was a special order, either by the original owner or the dealer. The majority of those WS models came with the 3.9L standard. On occasion you'd find them with the 5.2L, especially 4wd models. It's rather unique to have the 5.9L on a 1500 WS long bed 2wd model.
If you're looking to restore her, spend the extra money and buy a dashboard from LMC or Mopar. LMC has the interior paint to match, and the adhesion promoter. Don't ever install one of those glue on covers. I made that mistake years ago, and nearly destroyed my dash frame. Once that cover is glued on, the heat & the cold will cause the cover to buckle. Thus causing the frame supports that house the radio, gauge cluster, HVAC, basically everything behind the bezel to crack & break away. I replaced mine with a Mopar dash back in 2019, when my heater core went out. Fortunately, I was able to fiberglass repair my dash frame. It's a pain, but well worth it. My entire dash is still holding up.
@@AngryCatMan1982the Magnum 5.9 had a lot of power. This truck would fly.
Nice find for $500 bucks.. I love the TV on in the background. I was laughing at the (Not a laxative) TV ad around the 18:00 mark. Keep up the great content!
Thanks! I make sure to off the radio, but the tv is just background noise so I don’t go insane and I forget it’s on most of the time. 😂 I’ll make sure to turn it down or off too next time
Awesome job and cool content..I actually inherited my Dad's Dodge Trucks his 1997 Ram 1500 with the 318 ci lariat edition he bought new as his daily driver and his 2004 Dodge Ram 1500 with the Hemi and it's my daily driver and enjoy them both equally so I can relate to you wrenching on yours. Looking forward to seeing more of your work and adventures. Appreciate you sharing your day with e.😎🛠️🦌🔧👨🔧🧰
Great video Jay! That’s one heck of a find for $500
I don’t care what anybody says. The crosstour is beautiful in a way. It’s so bad, it’s good.
Nicely done! Always nice to get a runner on the cheap!
That's not a bad looking truck at all and with a little TLC, it's going to be a really nice truck. Jay, you did great and got a great deal on this one!
Awesome video dude! When you said “it’s Chrysler plastic” that cracked me tf up
29:43 most relatable words ever lol! Nice Find Jay! You sure cant get a vehicle for 500 anymore!
CONGRATS ON HITTING 100K SUBS WAHOOOOOO im proud of you lets gooo ive been on this channel for a while love your content glad you hit 100k subs took like forever but you got it well deserved an many more to go
Everyone loves a "Dirty Dodge" Glad you got it!
Really enjoyed the video! Keep it up man!
The blue is so cool 😊
Simply Amazin! I've been looking even 2010-2012 trucks are in rough condition, sometimes luck come's in various ways.
Dirty to Purrdy Dodge.....as always you deliver the budget fix & co.....Love that kind
Congrats to Dirty Dodge 2. She is a looker. Great video as always.
Thanks 👍
I had a classic red ram 1500SLT Laramie with the fuel injected v8. Power everything. Rear windows that opened etc. Had the bulletproof air sucking fuel injected 318 V8. That never missed a gas station. Had a nice red cardinal glasspack on it and after a few of those wore out a magnaflow. I had a lot of fun with that truck. I miss it
The exhaust has a big hole in it, I’m thinking of having a glass pack put in its place. (It’s the absolute cheapest option)
@@MXguy95 it was the best sounding option. Price had nothing to do with it
i got my '97 1500 5.2 2wd 3 years ago for $300. 132k miles. It sat for about 16 years before i bought it. It took about a year to get licensed. my wife calls it "THE OTHER WOMAN" LOL. Love these trucks.
“Oldsmobile” “Moo Cow”
I already like this guy.
Thank you for taking the time and, some money to help this ol rig. Most people always are looking or chasing for a Cummins or HD variant, but I like an old school half ton long bed. Sometimes less is more. Keep up the great work, and looking forward to what else you got in store for us!
I appreciate that a lot! And a Cummins truck would be nice. But it’s not in my cards anytime soon. I have a fleet of 2nd gens. All gassers, and they get the job done just fine. There is more to come on this truck, and I’ll bring you guys along for the ride
I love how the paint comes back to life when you washed it
One of my favourite colours it looks amazing when resprayed with extra clear coat
Boss ass way to fix your doors you learn something new every day
That's a damn clean truck for $500.
I got the exact same truck and love it! I saw this video pop up and had to watch it
Nice find on the 1500 dodge ram. Great video!😊
Looks clean Jay. Up here in NY, that’s a $3500 truck
Ehh definitely not a 2wd one
Sold my '95 Ram 1500 that I brought over from Washington State. 4WD, standard cab, short bed, 318. Only notable option? AC. Bought it years back for $1200; 117K on the odo, headliner dead, driver's side seat collapsed and biodegradable silver/grey/champagne pearl factory paint. Fixed all that, painted it (tutoned it), Magnaflow muffler (dual exit pipes & tips), looked sharp, needed nothing. Drove it out here to NC and sold it for almost $9K and 160K on the clock. Heck, the dash was in perfect shape and the people that noticed freaked out- not a cap or switched out, factory installed
Awesone video, easy fixes on the truck, top notch videography. Do a paint correction and ceramic coat next? Headlight haze fix?
Great Vid Jay and good work!
$500, heck yes. I enjoy the videos man, take care!
Thank you so much!
Decided to revisit watching a few videos of yours watched the $350 Ford Ranger and this one. Still same good content from you brings back the vibes from the junkyard videos sort of ish.
Had a 1995 Dodge Ram. Same color and just had the V6 instead of the V8s. I loved that truck and had some financial troubles in the early 2000s where the bank decided that they wanted it more than I did.
Good-looking truck. It found its way into the right hands.
I like to think so too. She’s making herself right at home surrounded by my other second gens
I'm glad I came across this video. I'm trying to get a burner truck myself for 2-3k so this give me hope.
Finally a 2nd Gen youtuber. Far and few between these days. Im currently replacing a timing cover gasket on my 1998 Ram 1500 4x4 "Sno- Fiter" 😂with a rebuilt transmission and Remanufacturered 5.9. Mostly rebuilt body, it is a plow truck with a sno fiter decal but im sure it isnt a legit Sno fiter factory😅 everything except quad doors and bed was replaced. Needless to say we used the stupid timing cover gasket that came with the reman engine. Was like...ahh that'll be fine. 5 years later. Wasn't fine for fks sake. In search of a 6.5 Bed. If anyone knows of a clean one at good price
That’s a good rig! I’m looking for a snow blade for mine. You plan on using another gasket? Or rtv gasket maker? Anytime I get near a timing cover or plenum I tend to go heavy on the rtv as they are bad to leak.
As far as a bed goes, I have a pretty decent (rust free) bed I’d part ways with. Where are you located?
@@MXguy95 I was still trying to decide I've had good luck with gasket maker, but I've also used RTV and gasket. But never on a timing cover. Some opinions don't hurt especially since I'm undecided yet. And I'm in Toledo ohio....?
I feel you on the marketplace struggles. I live about 30 miles from you and seems like everyone is on top of marketplace listings as soon as they are posted.
thanks jay good work ,nice truck.
Hey Jay I am a big fan of your channel 👌 I noticed in recent content that you need a trip to the Barber shop big time , you could even film it lol 🙏I want to see that good looking guy back lol Greetings from down under Melbourne Australia 🦘
Couldn't help but notice the Dick Smith dealership floor mats in the truck. I'm local to Greenville, SC where those floor mats may have originated from lol. Nice find, love your videos, happily subscribed dude!
Can’t have too many trucks.
Always a great video.
Decent truck for the money Jay and the algorithm really like this video I'm glad to see it blow up some your videos deserve the views I think I've been subscribed since 2017 or so
Thank you so much! It was a great surprise to see this one do so well! And I needed that so bad right now, it made my whole year 😅
I would love to have this truck as a summer cruiser. I live in far northern NY where the salt is bad, so there's none of these left that are roadworthy. Excellent find.
Great job doing repairing your truck!!
Thanks 👍
@@MXguy95 Your welcome 🇨🇦
Love your videos Jay!😊 Ram is a beautiful car 😊
Good practical stuff, thanks 🖐
Not sure if anyone has said it or not, but the tailgate cable was probably like it was because they had boards between the wheelwells and bed sides making a flat platform with a 4x8 sheet of plywood, and the tailgate would drop to the same height. That way, they could have something wider in the bed than the wells and longer than the bed length.
