1983 DODGE 1500 SHORT BED ,ALL ORIGINAL,ROD,CUSTOM,STREET MACHINE,RAT ROD

Description for Dodge Ram 1500 1983

83 Dodge short bed slant , auto. Has power steering and brakes but no other options. The tires are Michelins and the tread looks new but the side walls are showing some dry cracking.

I got this truck from my neighbo, it was her husbands who passed away last year.

I put on a new battery and cleaned the carb and it runs pretty good.He had used it to pull his boat to the lake (only about 5 miles each way) so it has not been run much in several years.The body is solid. The paint looks origina, it has a place on the right front fender where the paint was scraped off,a couple of very tiny bubbles on the corner of the door. The inside of the bed is very good it had a camper top most of its life ( camper top goes with truck if you want it ).The interior is in good condition the dash has no crack, the seat has one small crack on the edge of the drivers side.

Overall this is a nice truck for 33 years ol, it would begood to make a hot rod,or drive like it is. The paint does not look bad from a distance but up close it is faded some and has some scrapes and scratches. I have driven the truck a couple miles it runs and shifts good and the steering and brakes are good. I would probably haul this home if it is a long distanc, because of it not being run much .It sat for a year after his passing and was not driven much before that. I am selling this as miles over 100k.
