It's hard to say. I waffle on it. I could buy a truck that is up and running, or could be with little work. Or, I could actually rebuild this one. Or, maybe I could do both.
Oh here I thought we were all gonna go shopping for ya! Sounds like you have a few decisions to make. Of course those can possibly be fun ones also!

ha! With Thing 3, LOML will be needing a new vehicle (mini-van) I'll likely inherit her Honda.

But, the big beautiful, F-350 Diesel Crew Cab 4x4 isn't in the cards. Not that I didn't price it out on Edmunds.

LMAO! That is great, Steve.

No worries. I didn't have any intention of buying the Dodge. I drove a Dodge B300 van in high school. That was enough for me.

Absolutely!

Only, it was more like a bus, with benches for 12 and windows all around.

With seats out, it had good capacity to haul stuff though. Always important for a kid in school whose world had a 12 mile diameter. I suppose it was useful for fraternity stuff in college, too.

Well, I even had a Dodge back in high school. It was a 91 Dakota 2WD V6. It was "handed down" to me though, so hard to complain!

IIRC, ours was a 1980 B300 "Sportsman" It sure was purty. All beige and what not.

Anyway, my Dodge driving days were over a few years before yours ever hit the pavement. Not that I'm old. Much.
