Hey all - just wanted to get some opinions on something.

I've got a line on a 1988 Dodge Power Ram 50, 2.6L, automatic, extended cab, 15" steel wheels, utility shell with rack, etc. It's pretty much unmolested, even has the factory radio. The interior is in great shape, no rips, tears, or stains on the seats, carpet, dash, or headliner. The only thing I noticed was the grilles for the rear speakers were missing. The seller keeps it in storage, and from what I can tell on my short test drive around the storage facility, the 4wd works, no funny noises when turned lock to lock, sway bar bushings need to be replaced, brakes are just a tad loud, has the Weber conversion, head's been replaced, no fluid leaks, no rust, only dent is a small one in the front bumper, no big scrapes, etc. The Weber has a manual choke, and he put the choke lever inside by the steering column. He also did something odd with the water temp gauge. Seems that when they replaced the head, they couldn't get the factory water temp gauge in the dash to work, so they hooked up an aftermarket gauge (which works), and it's mounted on the steering column right above the manual choke (can be easily relocated).

I think he's the second owner, truck has 116K miles, and he's asking $900. I'm thinking it's a smokin' deal, I could always use a small truck, and this thing would be a great blank canvas. I'd probably do some maintenance things like change the plugs, oil/filter, check the timing, maybe new shocks, tires, brakes, bushings, etc.

Whaddaya think?
