Title: upgraded truck
Post by: runningboard on January 23, 2016, 08:44:58 PM: finally after more years than I can remember I decided to get a newer truck for our outdoor excursions. I love my old 89 12-valve Cummins and it still runs better than anything I've ever owned but the rest of the truck is falling apart around that engine/drivetrain. wanted more seating room so I went with a 06 3500 quad with the Cummins. already getting better mileage since my old one had no overdrive. in the rural area where I live, once people saw my new truck I got four inquiries about buying the old one!

Beautiful truck but I agree. Either the badging has been added or the year is wrong.

Sitting here looking at my early 07 with 5.9L through the dinning room window and my badging looks just like his :dunno:

Easy enough for a guy to add the nicer looking badges though.

Yep, looks like they went to that badging earlier then you guys think, because thats what my badging looks like, Like I said mines early 07 with 5.9 and no badging modification.
