People do not give you enough credit Mike. You do not let anything get in your way. No frame machine, no paintbooth, no lift... NO PROBLEM! You just get the job done. Well done for that. No excuses, just restults. People can really learn from you. Merry Chirstmas from South Africa
Merry Christmas Mike to you and your family. I enjoy watching you and the content you provide. And the times you and Randy collaborate, it’s comical genius. Thank you and look forward to more content next year…. 🎄🎄🎄🎄
The truck in that condition is anywhere here $1,500 - $2,500. You can get brand new headlights for $60.00. A set of fender flares for $60. Also new chrome grille for the same price. All on EvilBay. They had a silver hood but, pickup at location only (PA)
Great job as always mike and I enjoyed this and cant wait to see u finish it up and get her looking great again. Merry Christmas mike hope u have a good one have a great day enjoy it and have a good one twke care god bless much love to ya see ya on the next one
My Ram is a 2022 2500 and the color is Granite Crystal Metallic, abbreviated in the parts catalog as Granite Crystal Met. However, when I asked the dealership for a touch-up pen my wife and I thought the parts person said Granite Crystal Meth. We laughed out butts of and the truck has been called Tweaker ever since!
Forget Superglue with heavy stuff, use JB Weld instead. When you are banging on a bolt, leave the nut on it, otherwise you mess up the thread. You will need new hood hinges as well. Merry Christmas!!
I had a 2002 dodge ram and loved it just recently got a 1998 dodge ram sport 4 x 4, one owner hundred thousand miles mint condition nine out of 10 with a tow package and trans cooler I’m dressing it up already😊
Haha, you did another take, and left the first one in, in your badge discussion :-) I'd just get new aftermarket headlights unless you're good at polishing them. A bright set of new headlights is so nice compared to old hazed lights. On that sticky stuff left from the ventshades, I used an eraser wheel and then a paint safe adhesive remover.
Merry Christmas, Mike! The fender flares look like the Xenon brand ones I have on my Ram. As much as I like them, if you want to make it look “original” removing the other three rather than trying to match them is always an option.
SRT hood or look at the Rumble Bee hoods, I love those too.. I love the short box, single cab 4x4...It's worth the work to make it nice look at restored trucks like the prices are going up . I know you're not doing a restoration but nonetheless .. Hope it comes together and works reliably. I had a 2003 for 10 years and put 160,000 miles no major issues .. My 2013 RAM 1500 Crew Cab 4x4 Hemi had 275,000 miles (where did I go lol) ...No major issues meaning no engine work or trans or diff work..Waterpump, radiator, alternator and regular tune ups oil changes.. My 2023 same configuration as the 2013 again, new so no issues at all... MERRY CHRISTMAS!
Honestly Mike, you got a pretty nice truck for the year. All cleaned up in my area would be worth 4590-5 all day long. Those fender flares you could just take them off. They only cause rust but to each their own.
I have a 06 that was hit just about identical. It was low on coolant also. The radiator was bad (leaking from the side tanks) looks Like I can see it a little in your video. Just get an all aluminum one. Never have to worry about cracked tanks again.
I just bought a 2012 Ram 1500 single cab for $3800 - it has 196k clear title and clean, it also came with retractable bed cover! And best of all it has passed NY state inspection 😂! Looking forward to see what you do with yours.
That hemi badge was moved because the flares, on the earlier 3rd gens the badges were originally at the lower front corner of the fenders just behing the headlight
Mike I love love love love love it that trucks going to look awesome once you're done fixing it up and wash it clean it up real good oh yeah baby I do wish your videos were longer 😢
In running condition and with the parts replacements that truck would easily bring somewhere in the neighborhood of $6,500-$7,500 in our rather rural area. Farmers and outdoorsmen would be all over it. Hell, I'd consider buying it as a "beater" myself!
Glad your rebuilding this one I always wanted a truck but I have no room I have a 2010. Honda Civic Dx Auto you should buy a honda Civic SI or a Sir there top of line amazing on fuel mine has 284000kms all hyw.
Replace the hood, and front bumper, then do a new coolant temp sensor, spray in bed liner, sony single din stereo and kicker speakers, flowmaster muffler
Nex time you can tie a strap to the bumper and the other end to a tree and just back up, it works great! the bumper you could try dissasebling it an then hot water and a push, i think it will fix.
remember if this truck does not work out randy has that red one he said he bought because he was thinking of you. its a 4 door hemi so i think it would be a good backup for you.
First thing you should do is put a radio in it. Maybe Maxpeedingrods will give you a free one for a shout out. So you can listen to some tunes will wrenching. Merry Christmas to you + family.
The truck is looking good. If you need some color match parts let me know and I will be glad to look at my local pull a part places for you. They make a special thin wall socket for wheels like that. My C6 has them. You could also grind down a regular socket till it fits.
You can take it in for an alignment Mike and they can tell you what's wrong with the front end if anything though the passenger side does look a little out of alignment?
merry Christmas, Mike. If it was me fixing that truck ... get the SRT-10 front sheet metal (and rims if you can find 'em), or at least the 2500 suspension and Sport hood with the scoop and grille. You're planning to tow with it, right? beefier suspension is your friend (all the way around, really. ).
Hey Mike, that fender flare you’re looking for isn’t a stock item from Dodge I think its part of an appearance package that Dixie Custom Trucks added to your Ram. May be hard to find unless you’re able to order one through them.
Mike advanced auto and O'Reilly's have thin wall sockets for that they're aftermarket rims and I'm surprised the truck didn't come with the socket...lmk if u need help. I was a assistant manager at Monroe muffler
Hey Mike, you need to replace the hood hinges when you get the hood. That’s why it’s misaligned. ✌️👍
I came here to say the samething lol
and the hoodstruts

Pa is the rust belt. Big difference where he is at
Its on amazon too (the headlights and bumper) brand new for the same 60 dollars
There you go Micheal. 🤪 That was my response when you actually got the bumper frame piece off. 👍❤️😊
Great job as always mike and I enjoyed this and cant wait to see u finish it up and get her looking great again. Merry Christmas mike hope u have a good one have a great day enjoy it and have a good one twke care god bless much love to ya see ya on the next one

The hemi badge goes on the fender next to the headlight, someone moved it to put those fender flares on
yep mine is up front and i think they all are but that was good placement actually
Good looking Truck Mikey, Merry Christmas To you and your Mom and Tom, Lola and Benzo.
Merry Christmas Mike!
Thank you for good videos Merry Christmas Happy New Year and God bless 😊
Great video Mike and nice truck ❤👍
That was a steal. Your doing good so far

When you get your Dodge Ram all fixed up she will be perfect and a great truck!🤠👍🏻🍻
Get a big adjustable wrench to put on the frame bumper horns to try to bend it back. Works a charm. The leaves are outta control in your yard!!
Love your videos
Great video Mike & merry Christmas to u & yours from the uk❤
The hemi badge on the fender is suppose to be up by the headlight on the early years like yours that’s why it wasn’t stuck on so good where it was

It take same time for you to complete the truck, Mike . Merry Christmas 🎄

Hey Mike, that fender flare you’re looking for isn’t a stock item from Dodge I think its part of an appearance package that Dixie Custom Trucks added to your Ram. May be hard to find unless you’re able to order one through them.
I want that 1970 black Mercedes! I have an engine and transmission that needs a home!
duck is quiet today😊. like a crew cab nice truck tho.
That’s the gangster Dodge.
Certifit that cheap place to buy headlights are usually usually have them in stock. There should be one in Tulsa.
My dad has a 02 in that same color and it is currently getting fram rot fixed and a new bed because the rot took it as well.
you can get new headlight assemblies from ebay cheaper then buying online in a store mike i just got mine for $80 both sides on my 2006 Ram 1500
I hope you have a great day
Mike advanced auto and O'Reilly's have thin wall sockets for that they're aftermarket rims and I'm surprised the truck didn't come with the socket...lmk if u need help. I was a assistant manager at Monroe muffler
