If I had a nickel for every Dana 60 that wasn’t a Dana 60, I’d have a couple of nickels.

I was just reading the comments/ questions....as there is white paint in the engine pics on the firewall.

Answer on color: "The original color is white. The owner had it repainted to match his fleet."
So imagine a whole fleet of green things.
I didn't think that the front fender 2-tone was correct. It has too high of an arch sloping toward the front of the fender. Factory was more of a sloped line without an arch, and I've never seen that color on one, EVER.

There should be an arch, but not THAT much arch for sure.

I'm absolutely positive that my fenders are original paint, so all the squares should be the same. I'm sure they've varied a slight bit from year to year? You can tell that somebody resprayed the silver on the door though.

Yeah, my old Burb I posted above was original black paint and the original striping too. The gray was just my spray can touch up because the original gray had all flaked off. I'm sure there was wiggle room in the overall curve of the stripe, but the top and bottom leading edges were kind of set in stone.

seen this a few times around the internet in articles. no reserve for tuesday March 24th,
the next owner needs to give this thing more cowbell.

This 2005 GMC Sierra 2500 “Cessna” Custom is from the Rocket City Collection.
  • Fuselage of a 1974 Cessna RAM 421B airplane (no wings or propellor)​
  • 1954 Chevrolet 6400 front end​
  • Refinished in red, white, and blue paint​
  • Side-opening passenger door​
  • Seating for five: driver and four passengers​
  • Cessna yoke (steering)​
  • Cessna Aircraft Company hubcaps​
  • Backup camera​
  • Boss BV9358B stereo system with touch screen​

This “Cessna” truck is said to have been delivered intact from Albuquerque, New Mexico, to Huntsville, Alabama, riding on the back of a “lowboy” flatbed. It was delivered without any obstacles or special requirements due to its height, but that was only because it was on a “lowboy” flatbed​

It happens. Grandpa wanted blue, everything got painted blue. Then it was red. The red faded. He found a green that hid dirt well and didn't fade, everything got painted green.

This was one of them....

south Jersey craigslist if looking:



Dodge Ram 1500 5.7 L Hemi - $1,300 (Woodbine)​


Looking for a good home. Her body is rotting away and in really bad shape. Right now she has no brakes and her exhaust is loud. (No I am not talking about my wife). But with a young 208k miles with religious oil changes, her motor hums. She’s got good sneakers and cooling system. Cloth interior. There are several thousands in usable parts even if you wanted her just for the parts. She was my first brand new vehicle. Like a family member…So be kind and don’t insult me. (Yes my wife is making me sell her)
I can send a video of her running if requested.


2008 dodge ram 1500 4x4

condition: fair

cylinders: 8 cylinders

drive: 4wd

fuel: gas

odometer: 208,538

paint color: blue

title status: clean

transmission: automatic

type: pickup
