It's a 1985 Dodge Ram 50. I got it for a friend who offered it to me as-is, where is. That was on the side of the road with a separated ball joint. Luckily these things just bolt on so I was able to change that out on the side of the road.

Here's what's under the hood - a Mitsubishi 4G63 backed by a A904 TorqueFlite.

One of the guys in our local SRT club has a D50 as a side project - it has a Conquest TSi motor in it, Mercedes HID beams, etc. It'll be interesting to see how it performs when he's finished with it.
