well, I've tried to keep it as original as possible, but it started (with me) 37 years ago as a $50.00 work truck. So, over the years, when we had no money, (and who knew I'd keep it 37 years!!!), I added a generic turn signal switch, sun visors from a VW bus, arm rests from a ????, etc., etc.
Now, I've tried to replace things like the sun visors, the arm rests, etc. But, the engine bay is never gonna pass the Concours test! It's clean and painted and looks pretty dang good, but any Dodge/Chrysler expert would have a field day finding non-stock parts, springs for linkage, horns in the wrong place, etc. But hey, it's done, it runs and my two kids (30 and 34) think it's great. I have several older cars, and when asked which ones they'd like after I check out, they said "none of them", BUT, they both wanted the truck!!!!! I guess that's what they remember getting picked up from school in, going to soccer, Scouts, shopping, etc. Go figure!
Thanks for your help.
