I got a Dodge pickup for $3,000 not as a daily driver, thank God.
A real ecomodder special.
Virtually no rust even by new Mexico standards, doesn't appear to burn oil.
First mod get a white wife beater and wear it without washing it till it's sweat colored. No not really.
First for real mod will be a back window protector. I have a headache rack or roll over bar from something. The previous owner left it here, it's definitely not for a Dodge or any pickup, maybe for a bronco, a real one. I'll have to add, remove and weld the tubes in several places. I'll do that before I take out the back window with a chunk of firewood or some piece of rouge lawn equipment's.

It's going to need tires, it has and is recommended 215/75R15, They're pretty worn down and very dry rotted. I'm thinking 235/75R15 Yokohama AT.
