I love the fact that everybody thinks it's a 70's Dodge with a eng swap. When I tell them it's a 91.5 They do not belive me. I have had 600hp 2003 3500. This truck gets more looks than anything I have owned. 91.5 reg cab 1ton dana front and rear from a 96 3500. rolling pro-comp 37's, with this set up I go to the Back Doc twice a month. I LOVE IT.

I like the fact that it looks tough without any help, and that it starts better than all of my friends pickups that are 2000 and newer and you cant hurt it, also the free mods and cheap mods, the fact I can work on it by myself and figure it out cuz its simple. Its my first dodge and I fell in love as soon as I test drove it.

i love that it was $1800. i love that it beats the hell out of me on my 2 hour commute. i love that it gets better fuel mileage than my suzuki hatchback. i love that it has made me decide to sell my 2005 2500 dodge cummins and find another first gen. and pocket some cash!

I love that I have built mine from the ground up, using all the parts I wanted, and its still 1/10th the price of a new truck. I love the fact that the interior I made will be almost as plush as a Caddy, with the ride of an M1 Abrams. I love the fact that my truck has a personality, and that she bitches at me when she's cold, but when I show her some love, she warms right up and keeps on rockin'!
