1st gen ram Project less junky

Soi guess I had start a thread for this ol girl . I have been hijacking other threads asking questions but really need to have my own thread . I took my old black 93 ram apart a few winters to make its heart live on in my 56 4x4 . I really miss that truck , around the farm Plowing snow , and just general abuse that I don't want to give my daily driver .

Truck is abt what you expect for a Ontario ram. Above the windshield is junk. P o filled it with bondo. Bottoms of front fenders are in need of some patchwork.

Drivers side floor pan is MIA and passengers has a few small holes to deal with .

Brake lines are rotten f to b .

Also the eng won't shut off when you turn the key if your foot is on the brake pedal. Lol. Figure that one out . Lol.

Honestly there is a bright side . This thing runs like a top . Drives and shifts well. Tires are good . That's abt it . Lol.

Plan is to fix the big stuff . Brakes , leaky trans lines , floor etc. Put some k's on it make sure trans is sound and go from there . My 9 ft acetic Plowing will find its way on here as well. The main purpose for this truck is to replace our family hauler . Our 2002 suburban that has served us so well had a catistrophic frame failure . 400 km on it body looks good but the rear frame fell out towing our camper trailer home . I run a boat hauling business so a truck that can't tow is of no use to me .

So I will start rambling and sow some pics .
