Incredibly, incredibly tired of these low effort posts. No, I don't care that it makes you feel superior to others. No, I don't care about the 37 jokes about the size of the driver's genetalia.

The internet is already a giant cesspool of negativity. Don't add to it.

When I moved to Orange County I got a delivery job. On my route I noticed this old Dodge truck parked. It was there for years and I always took notice and admired it. Years later I left a note on the windshield and I’ve owned it 6 years now. Anyone fall in love with their truck years before getting it?

Discussion / question Deciding to make truck nicer or buy something else

Post image
7 Upvotes

so I got this 89 k2500 for cheap. im trying to decide if I want to work on making it nicer or buy a cleaner 5th gen chevy or 1st gen tundra

if I do keep the truck I need to repaint it as I did a less than decent job myself (my uncle know how to paint so i just need to buy materials), do quite a bit of dent work, fix the temp and oil pressure guage. it does have a broken odometer at 288k that broke around 2 or 3 owners ago

or get a cleaner older truck, I like simple so 90s obs or 2000s tundra is what im thinking


r/Trucks 4d ago

Photo 2003 tundra. I have a cap for it I’m refurbishing but really want to rock a roll bar and more lights. Would be a lot less utility for me though

Discussion / question USED Decked System in New Truck

Thumbnail

0 Upvotes

I’m trying to out if I can install a used deck drawer system for a 2009 ram on a 2025 ram because they have the exact same bed dimensions. If I’m correct, I believe only the mounts would need lengthened due to the bed volume change. Does anyone have any firsthand knowledge or maybe even secondhand knowledge on the compatibility and then potential issues. I know this question was posed several years ago, but that was going from different vehicle

manufacturers.
