Got me a station wagon!

It's an '01 3500 with just over 81K on the clock. Could they have made the drivers door opening any smaller? I bang my knee and then my back getting into this thing, that'll take some getting used to.

I guess you're officially a holy roller now. What's it got under the hood?
 
360 which is probably the only available engine in a 1 ton.
 
this thing has 4 sofas in it and I'd like to get rid of at least 2 of them if anybody's interested.
I would gladly trade 2 sofas, which are in really nice condition btw, for a straight front bumper.
FRONT BUMPERZ. '94 thru' '01 1500,2500,3500, vanz and truckz the bumperz are all the same. Came 3 wayz: Chrome, black or body color W/O hookz, or black or body color W/hookz. Their every where, jes ask me how I know this
 
How do you know this, Jer? Im waiting...

That all started when they revamped the beak on them. My 88 was fine, but my 98 was a royal pain to get into. The dash is so much deeper and the wheel sits back about 8" farther. Without relocating the door, the design was not conducive to ease of entry as the wheel sits just shy of the middle of the opening. I had my seat back as far as it would go. That worked fine for the steering wheel, but not so much for the pedals ..with my short legs. I eventually found the sweet spot and put 175K miles on that with just one set of brakes and the standard front suspension work including a new upper control arm.
 
My neighbor has one of these and he has 280K miles on it and it is still going strong, he has had to replace the water pump twice on it that I am aware of, the only reason I know this is I did his latest pump for him.
 
1) there is one of those for sale near me (13/L. Mack) for $2k. Or you bought it, because it looks identical. I suppose i'll know when I drive past that Home Depot.

2) they were the best vans, once the best-selling. It's insane that Dodge was not allowed to design a new version and forced to sell Daimler's overpriced rust bombs instead.

3) I understand the reluctance to bring kids into this world, but that doesn't stop the people who don't give a damn... Without some kids raised by parents with half a brain, you get more of what's on display in America's "urban centers". In a way, while these kids will have a tougher go, but they'll also have huge advantages over those who's parents checked out years before.

I dated a gal a couple of decades ago that felt like having kids was a horrible thing in today's world. As I talked to a friend back then he said to me the only way to change the way things are going is to have kids and raise them right.
