Instead of asking to open my closed build thread I figured I would just start a new one. After 5.5 yrs and a lot of hours I am finished building the truck.

Just need to rant. Been in love with the dodge ram body style since 94.

Electrical gremlins started showing up and they are driving me insane trying...

My cousin has a truck that her soon to be ex husband purchased a few years ago. She wants to sell it and asked me what I thought it was worth. The trim package on the truck is different then I have seen and I cant find any information or value on the truck. Anyone that can tell me anything...

working on a friends 01 dodge with a tre built auto. the stock lines coming off the heat exchanger on the pass side have developed a leak right where a plastic clip holds them together. What is the best way to fix this leak... -Replace both lines or can I cut out the bad section and couple...

I am in need of the slip yoke and front universal for a 2wd nv4500. trans came out of a 97 dodge 1ton. I don't need the rest of the drive shaft since I am using it for my 56 chevy 4bt build. Once I have the front slip yoke/ujoint I will have my neighbor that runs a welding/fabrication shop...

I was asked by a few members to start a thread on my build, and besides I always enjoy looking at what everyone else is building so here it goes. First off this will be a slow build while funds and time allow. The truck was given to me in trade for some car work for my neighbor. 1956 chevy...

I know nothing about the chevy duramax, I personally own a 98 dodge cummins so I am turning to my fellow comp d members for some advice. For my work I just received a 2015 chevy Silverado cab and chassis, 3500 single rear wheel, w/Allison 6sp auto. I am putting an aluminum dumping flatbed on it...

I have always wanted a 56-57 chevy short bed pickup, as luck would have it my neighbor has one that has been sitting in his back yard since 1985. He drove it to the spot it sits and parked it bc it wasn't very good in the snow. I had inquired about it again over the weekend and he asked if I...
