swirvin 21's build thread

[swirvin21]

Well guys....everything changed today! I went out and bought a 2003 Dodge Ram 3500 V10 DRW Crew Cab Long Bed truck. Got a KILLER deal on her and based on what I've read and what DJ told me, it's pretty dang rare. Plenty of 2003 Ram 2500 V10s, but very few 3500s. This is the only year of the V10, so I jumped on it.

Gonna be a very interesting change in my builds now....something's got to go, can't have 3 Dodge Ram pickups in the driveway. I can justify 2, but not 3! Plus I need to sell something to come up with some extra cash to fix up the new Ram. So, enough chit chat...here she is!!

'03 Dodge Ram 3500 SLT V10 DRW Crew Cab Long Bed 4x4 201K 3.73 gears NP271 AAM 11.5 w/ rear disc

Here's how she looked when I first picked her up...ugly chrome wheel trim, side mirror chrome covers and chrome door moldings. Gone the second I got home!



Already looks better doesn't she!!!


















So this opens a whole new can of worms...different parts, different designs, different ideas. Good thing DOR has me covered on the 3rd gens as well!
