Dodge Trucks....Don Knotts style

My first truck was a brand new little 88 Dakota shortbed 2wd v6 auto.
Sold that a year later to buy an 89 Shelby Dakota, which I still own.
In 1993, I picked up $200 76 D100 long bed 318/auto with only 46k on it. Great daily beater. I couldn't hurt it.
In 2000, sold the beater for $800, gave that money to my brother for his 85 D100 shortbed 318/auto. Was also a heat daily beater.
Sept 1996, a month before Jacob was born, bought a 97 1500 4wd extended cab 5.9 magnum/auto.
Absolutely loved that truck, and wish I could have kept it when I upgraded to the 05 2500 more door 4wd diesel in 07.
No issues with the 05. Great truck. Almost love it as much as the 97. Bought it for the specific purpose of better fitting the growing family and dragging the 5th wheel condo up and down the east coast 10-12 times a year.
Somewhere in the mid 90''s I had a 47 International that I was semi-rat rodding before rat rods were a thing. Had an 85? Diplomat cop car k frame hub to hub with the 318 on it that I was going to fit under it. Gave the truck away in 99 when the 69 Fury ragtop came to me from its original owner for free. Just didn't have the space at the time.
