I've had my Dad's old 96 Ram since he passed in 2004, and my sister has kept her husbands 99 Ram 4X4 since he passed a couple years after Dad. We were both keeping them mostly out of sentimental reasons. I really needed a 4X4, and Dad's truck was more of a "Cowboy Cadillac" than a truck. My sister was kinda weepy every time I talked to her and I thought she was gonna burst out in tears when she found out I couldn't keep her truck in the garage. I wasn't much better. I had 2 guys make offers of $3000 that wanted to make it a work truck, one was going to paint it from Emerald Green to Black. Thank goodness they both needed a couple weeks to come up with the money. The third person to look was a lady who wanted to use it as an extra vehicle to run errands, get mulch, lumber, etc. I lowered the price to $2500 and sent it home with her. Dad's truck only had 96,000 miles on it and was rust free. But, it needed the front end rebuilt and the paint was starting to fade. Skips truck, my new one, has 120,000 miles and is like new inside and out. It did have some rust on the rockers, but my sister had that repaired before she would let me buy it. Now I have to have a major change in the way I keep my truck. If my sister see's one speck of saw dust in it she will start crying for a week, Joe.
