I like the regular cab short beds,they have a shorter wheel base,easy to whip around and do fishtails. I'll buy it from you for 3000 dollars, if its in as good of shape as you say.

I didn't think you would want to sell it. That truck would make a great bugout vehicle. I love regular cab shortbeds with 4 wheel drive.

While I use my Kia Hatchback for long-distance (gas sensitive) travel or jaunts down the street in good weather, my Ram is my lifeline in winter or for hauling. It's a workhorse and I can't say enough good things about it. Good for you that you got the one you've had your eye on for a decent price. I am sure it will give you a good long life.

Great buy, not only you didn't pay too much, but also you can be absolutely sure that truck is in top-notch condition.

Fellow who sold it to you is probably happy too, that his pride and joy went to good hands.
