Today I saw an ad in our local newspaper for a 1989, Dodge half ton, short bed, Power Ram 4x4. Price said $500.00. I figured it was going to be a piece of junk, but went by to see it. Well, it is a really nice little 4x4. Has a 318, Auto trans., (that leaks), crunched front left fender, and NO RUST ANYWHERE. It actually starts, runs, and drives great. Interior is nice, and has factory A/C. I just could not pass it up at that price. Will post photos soon. Best part of the deal, besides the price, is that it is only about 8 miles from my house. That is a big factor with today's fuel prices. Bad thing is that it is not a Sweptline.

I have an 88 power ram 250 that I bought from the original owner. I tend to drive it more that my 05 quad cab. Every time I think about selling it, all I have to do is drive it. That changes my mind every time.
Well on my way to becoming that eccentric old man in every town.(crazy as a s#@thouse rat) With a yard full of desireable old vehicles that tells you, Sorry they're not for sale..... Someday I'm going to fix them.
