I've been scouring the used car web sites, and craigslist... trying to
find a rust free Dak... of any year older than the Gen III's... is not
easy. It seems old ma mopar didn't know how to keep rust at bay in the 90s.
I really really hate not having a truck anymore. On the occasions I
drive the Explorer I really enjoy it. Selling my Ram was something I
will never quite fully recover from. I don't think I'll ever buy a new
truck - not for what the dealers are asking. And sure as hell not when
its $4.00 a gallon.
