1981 Dodge Ram


Basha Burwell caught the Dodge in St Louis, Missouri. I'm guessing the year. That gen of Dodge pickups lasted a while. I think they were cleaner than the bulksters with outsized noses that followed, starting in 1994. Those swollen machines started the trend of erstaz-manly giant trucks.
