I hear ya but my plans for now is a daily driven street truck on street tires. But i also see alot more upgrades in the future when money is there.
 
I'm trying real hard to stay my original plans. I've got a few cummins buddys in my ears though..;)
thanks for the input thats what forums are for.

Looks good, a D60 built right will be fine, truck doesn't weigh much, 5k lbs, the aftermarket world makes a lot of strong parts for the D60

thanks Dazed. A few years back i had a 87 RC i wanted to do the same too..but money wasn't there for me then. i like 1st gen dodges also but always been a chevrolet guy.
 
still not sure but i have a friend with a D60 really cheap so we will see. I want to be able to drive it first. I'm gonna ride the 10bolt till it breaks...lol
