It's my first Ram. My first pickup was a '62 Chevy. It had a back yard paint job that was OK at best. The truck was bright red with cream accents, was loaded! Yes, it had a heater! It also had 5 pieces of chrome: 2 wipers, 2 door handles, and 1 gas cap!
2nd truck was a mid 80s Silverado. This was a bit nicer, was black and silver. Drove it to DFW airport many times for my pilot job at AA, when I couldn't get a jump seat.
The Ram came along in 2000, and it was pretty nice when I got it. Wanted the quad doors in order to put my suitcase behind the driver's seat when I had to work. Put lotsa miles on it (117000 or so now) and wore out the driver's leather seat. Wanted to get a newer used 4x4, but I would've been making payments all the way to the cemetary! Decided instead to pour money into the '98 since I knew it's history, it was paid for, and I liked it! I've added aftermarket gauges and an entire new interior...see photos.
