Been meaning to throw these pics up for awhile.. had a accident at work, and been outa commission for a while but here they goes the title, its a 1985 Dodge ram 50, with a Mits. 2.3L turbo diesel. Bought the truck from a farmer last spring for 700$ Flatdecked it back to kelowna, the thing barly ran and was covered in rust. all was stock with the exception of a beefed up rear bumper, anyhow went over the truck the motor problems ended up being a clogged up fuel filter. i figured while i was in the rebuild process id rebuild the turbo, being as it was speewing oil. after that it was just body work and making it trail and road worthy, took me most of the summer and alot of blood, sweat and beers but things came together in the end.after the body work n stuff, i ended up crankin the torsions,3 inch BL, and sat it on a set of 32's sourced from a local pawn shop. also ran it straight pipe to a 3 and a half inch stack. also running a 1000w rockford 12' via my getto try of a blow thru setup but it work and sounds crazy,any way its still a work in progress and i havent seen to many around so figured post this up hope ya enjoy! cheers
-Matt

Nice truck.
I had a 2WD model years ago and it handled loads of steel on the roof rack for more than a decade.

Cruised the LA basin with a Rotweiller in the passenger seat to slide thru the carpool lanes without hassle


Greeat seeing your pal in the passenger seat!

john

yeah its pretty tough lil truck, i had my doubts when i first got it, as to how well it would do off road and shit but iv never had any problems keeping up to anyone on the trails or highway,iv always been more of a toyota man,but this thing will go most places my 84 yota could.thanks for all the comments so far guys :smokin:

i dont suppose you know where i might find a mitsubishi diesel for my 91 d50 4x4??? would love to have one

Holy shit.
