Cloth grey interior with black dash and door trim, mahogany wood trim throughout. Dark gray shag carpeting on the floor...It also has a mini dust buster that plugs into a 12v power outlet :D No TV or rear radio.. its a basic package.
I plan to add an overhead DVD system in the future for the kids.

Have a 97 B2500 w/Primetime conversion, 3.9L V6. First five years were great excepting having to buy a new tranny. Now tranny is going again, replaced water pump and radiator, door pins and bushings, now need a driver's side door latch and a blower motor :( 187000 miles. She may be more tired than I thought.

Well with almost 200K, those things tend to wear out. If you opt. for replacing the tranny again, try using AMSOIL synthetic fluid....it will out last the regualr stuff almost threefold.

Just yesterday I got a 1991 B250 with 84,000 miles on it. It's all pimped out with a Studebaker Hi-Top conversion. We're only going to use it for family trips and towing my motorcycles to the track. I have some ?s about Dodges in General and Studebakers conversions in particular but I think I'll start a new thread for them. Glad I found this site and I'm soaking up plenty of info already!
