Vehicle Details

Video youtu.be/OegSyp4opj8 (copy & paste into browser)1987 Dodge Power Ram 50 4x4 base model short bed. 2.6L 4-cylinder. 5-speed manual transmission. 2-speed Transfer Case, auto-locking front hubs. Power Steering. Blue on Blue. Base model! No radio, a/c, power windows not even a cigar lighter. Very clean, low mile adult owned Dodge Power Ram 50 4x4. I spent 6 months looking on the west coast for the cleanest Ram 50 4wd to buy, and this was the one I found in 2021. And nothing cleaner has been on the market since. History of the pickup is that it spent most it’s life in Oregon, owned by an artist up until her passing away. Used it for hauling pottery, apparently. Previous owner was retired guy who bought as a COVID side project. He did the spray-on bedliner treatment, changed master cylinder, front calipers, front brake hoses, wheel cylinders and had the BFG installed. Retired guy decided to sell as he needed something to tow with, and I was lucky to be first caller on it. Paint shines up very nice. No significant body damage – typical dings & scratches found on a pickup from 1987. Also typical from 1987 is the heavy oxidation on roof and hood – a real shame as the rest of the paint is gorgeous. No signs of structural rust. Interior is perfect except for a ~2-inch rip on the side of driver seat. Pics in listing are showing the worst damage.

Although this truck ran perfect without issues, my son and I proceeded to do a ton of preventative maintenance for the fun and (his) experience. Below is a list of the work completed. None of this work was even necessary except the front and rear brake lining changes and the front rotor replacement (they were originals). I’ve been building cars and engines for 38 years and work professionally in the technical side of the vehicle R&D/manufacturing industry. We will scan all the parts receipts available and post later. Since doing the bulk of the following work, have put about 500 miles on it. This truck has no practical purpose for me except it being a trophy of finding the long sought unicorn clean Ram 50 4wd.New Spare Parts that come with truckPlug WiresFront Coil Springs (TRW)Blower Control ResistorBrake HoseBrake DrumFan BeltStabilizer Bar BushingsOil FiltersAir FilterHave most of the used parts from above work for new owner to look over.
