I have had more than a few first gens. I still have the '95, only one of those I ever had. In my opinion, the bodies of the second gen are more solid, but I still love the simplicity of the earlier trucks. Only reason I have the 95 is the Cummins really.
My first gen will be a truck that dodge never made. Crew cab, short bed, 4x4, cummins. Will also cut the frame in half and graft a 2nd or 3rd gen front frame and suspension on it and probably use a 3rd or 4th gen interior.
Yea I have dreams...sadly my wallet supports very few of them. Lol
