Porject truck to do what with?
Is it a 318 or 360?
I grew up riding around in my mom's 87' RamCharger, pretty nice truck all in all. The older Mopar drivetrains were pretty decent to start with.
I wish I'd never got rid of my old '73 Power Wagon....

Give us some more info about your plans? Got any pics of the potential project?
And if nothing else, the plow value makes the truck almost free right?

Looking around the best price for a 9ft Fisher plow was 900 bucks by itself without the pump or lights. I'd expect to pay 500 bucks for an average beat up old truck, that's a pretty common number.

Good luck with it whatever you decide.

I think its a 318 if the truck in his specs are the same truck he's referring to... I say go for it if its running, driving, 4x4 engages.

Either you spend the money and build it the way you want it, or buy something somebody else has wheeled and worked on.
