Me Again,
Simply crazy of you to push that old of a Dodge pickup at the OP. He lives in the Midwest and most of the Dodge trucks you are pushing are now rusted out hulks in junkyards here and in the east and S.E. also and those that aren't now in are mostly looking like swiss cheese with rusted frames and looking for a junkyard to retire in. Might be OK where you live, Me Again, for an old Dodge but not remotely so on this side of the Rockies and most people already know it. Even if a good one were to be found, the extremely loud engine turns buyers off as there's lots of them sitting on used lots for very long times and they have horrible resale value in the Midwest and down south for all the obvious reasons. Auction lots have gobs of the old Dodges around this region and very few dealers even bid on them because they don't sell. Check the auctions inventories and see for yourself.
To the OP: Go check out the older Dodges on used lots and in stroe parking lots and their model year age. When possible, open the doors and look along the bottoms at the rust and check around the wheel wells and rocker panels and even under checking of the frame rust. Even many 2007 Rams in the Midwest now have rusted thru holes. Then it will be self-explanatory as the light comes on. It's your money you are spending and I doubt you want to throw it away! Campers verbally hate it when the old extremely loud Cummins comes in as you can't even carry on a conversation when one is even 5 ot 10+ sites away.
