Problem is the HD trucks are all due for a refresh and I don't want to spend the money for the "old one". Timing just sucks at the moment.
Saw a GMC Denali HD this weekend. Still looks good.

Any word back from the dealer on the Ram?
Nope..

Just like on the JKU and the JLU, he sucks at responding and I need to drive him to get an answer.. been a little busy

It really is HIDEOUS. Would need some body work and probably a repaint. I'm sure the thing is a basket case, but would be fun none the less.
Well... I’d say it was if it didn’t have ac... but ac requires a shit ton of work in comparison to just an engine swap hack job... then again it could just mean it has an ac compressor that isn’t hooked up to anything :lol:
I spy AC lines, so it at least has a compressor, condenser and lines. Power steering is also :impressive: It also maintains the power headlights, which usually get nuked with an ellis swap. Also has a nicely executed coil relocation and looks like it might even had the cruise control connected.

From the pictures, it looks like someone did a nice job on this swap. Really tempted to go look at it.

Back in the 90s, my grandmother used to say that in comparison to movies from the 50s and 60s.

I don't know if people were getting fat already in the 90s or not, the clothing styles were so fucking baggy that you often had no idea how a person was shaped.

There are retro motor week reviews on YouTube. They were doing a midsize truck comparison. Talking about how the back of an S10 with the jump seats gave plenty of room for 2 adults....

No part of me has a desire to tag a meme to that Ram, it looks pretty sweet and it's probably got enough :balls: to tow your gun, knife and booze collection all in one shot! 😂
