Question
What parts from other trucks are interchangeable with my 87 Dodge full size ram p u? I have a slant six in it. ( wheels, rear bumper)

Answer
Hi Bill,

You're kidding right?

I couldn't and wouldn't list ALL the parts interchangeable with your truck. This is volunteer and I'm all about helping people but you don't know that what you're asking here is a tall order and time consuming to search/list. If you have a few specific parts you'd like to know about, send a follow-up an I'll reply back with the interchanges but there are thousands of parts on your truck that are interchangeable.

Looking for a reputable service technician? My advice on finding a good technician is: Steer clear of the dealership and 'chain' stores like Firestone, Sears, Pep Boys, Monro Muffler/Brake, Midas, etc. as they usually only employ ONE ASE Certified Tech just so they can say they do and chances are, that guy is the asst. manager or manager and is not in the store to diagnose/repair vehicles anyway. Find a service location in the link below or get some names out of the yellow-pages and do a drive-by. Garages that employ ASE Certified Technicians will be marked with the 'Blue-Seal' insignia. If unsure about whether a place employs Certified Techs, just ask to see their credentials. ALL ASE Certified Technicians will be PROUD to show and display their certificate(s).

Thanks for the question, I hope this information was helpful to you.
