Is the Ram your only transportation? If yes, it may be a mistake. If no, and it is what you want, go for it! I love my '68!

well i have a 71' c10 that runs but see i got the ram off my fire fighter 1 teacher ( im almost 17) an it was free so i dont really have a use for 2 trucks but i like the 67-68 front end no its not my only transportation but its new it runs good but im not a mopar man i was just wondering what yall would do ?

I'd pass on it then and keep the Ram. 4500 is a lot to pay for something that don't run

Sell the dodge and put the money into your 1970 c10

*Southern Shaker* · 10-19-2012, 08:04 PM

*Southern Shaker* · 10-19-2012, 08:07 PM

Not the exact dodge but pretty durn close

Keep the dodge and work on the 70. Better off having 2 vehicle's, especially since it was free to you. Which means you still have transportation to get more in-depth on your project and you can get things right before you spend more time driving it. On top of it, you never know when something is going to fail on the old one when you first start driving it.
