    Well, since I last posted I have acquired not 1 but 2 dodges.�� 1992 dodge w250 single cab 360 5speed 120,000 miles. Paid $650 for it. No title..... drove it on my trailer. $80 for a title. Next has a special story, I got it from the original owners wife. So the story goes, I was on my way to the dump when I blew a tire on my truck. Great, no spare. 5ish miles from home. No ones answering the phone. So I walk home. Got a tire got a ride back to my truck. My spare wasn't very good so I went to the tire shop. Got another tire. This whole process took 3 hours. Finally made it to the dump. Was unloading and a guy pulled up next to me. He was in a 88 dodge ram charger with a dodge truck trailer. We got to talking. His grandpa was in the process of restoring an old dodge truck when he passed away. I asked him what they were doing with it. He said he wasn't sure. I gave him my phone number, asked him to have his grandma call me. About an hour later I get a phone call, its the grandma. She proceeds to tell me about it, then says how about $100 bucks for the truck. Told her I'm on my way. I get there we start talking, an hour goes by, she looks at me and says that she has decided to just give it to me! (Finally all that good karma I've been building up got cashed in). Its mostly restored, needs the front clip put back on, dash installed, and paint. Her husband bought it brand new in 1975. Its a 1975 dodge w100 360 4speed. 130,000 miles. Motor rebuilt at 50,000 miles.I'll post pics shortly
