Up for auction is a LOW MILEAGE 1996 DODGE 3500 SLT PACKAGE EXTENDED CAB DUALLY FLATBED TRUCK EQUIPPED  WITH THE LEGENDARY 12 VALVE CUMMINS DIESEL ENGINE WITH A 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION. The truck has been used as a welding truck since new and is being replaced with a 2014 Dodge so this one is going to be passed on to some lucky buyer. The truck has been fleet maintained and is very dependable and solid, I would not hesitate to drive this truck anywhere so you can fly in and drive home in this one. Since this truck has it's good points and it's bad points I will list both good and bad points in detail so there will be no surprises to the new owner. I will describe the truck in an honest manner and to the best of my ability, I always like to hear the good points first so that is what i will start with. 
     

THE GOOD:
    
    * This truck is a GOOD HONEST TRUCK, what you see is what you get.
    * The truck is EQUIPPED WITH THE LEGENDARY 12 VALVE CUMMINS DIESEL, it was just inspected by a professional diesel technician specializing in Cummins Diesels his name is James and he can be reached at Cambridge Automotive (The premier shop in San Antonio Tx.)
    * Cambridge Automotive reported that the CUMMINS MOTOR WAS COMPLETELY STOCK, HAS HAD ALL RECOMMENDED UPGRADES AND HAS NO BLOW BY, NO LEAKS AND NO ISSUES.
    *Cambridge Automotive reported that the FIVE SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION  SHIFTED SMOOTHLY, SOLIDLY AND HAS NO ISSUES. 
    *Cambridge Automotive reported that THE CLUTCH WORKS PERFECTLY, SMOOTHLY AND HAS NO ISSUES.
    *Cambridge Automotive reported that THE FUEL, COOLING AND ELECTRICAL SYSTEMS WERE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER AND HAS NO ISSUES.
    *Cambridge Automotive reported the THE AIR CONDITIONING SYSTEM WORKS PROPERLY BUT WILL NOT HOLD A CHARGE.(good and bad).
    * The truck STARTS UP EASILY WHEN COLD OR HOT ANYTIME.
    * The truck has DECENT TIRES ALL THE WAY AROUND (mismatched but decent)
    * The truck has NO RUST OR ROT (has some surface rust on flatbed).
    * The truck HAS A GOOSENECK BALL AND A FIFTH WHEEL .
    * The truck HAS BOTH A 4 PIN AND A 7 PIN TRAILER CONNECTION. 
    * ALL THE LIGHTS ARE IN PROPER WORKING ORDER.
    * THE ELECTRIC WINDOWS AND DOOR LOCKS WORK PROPERLY ( the electric door locks will operate the passenger side lock but not the drivers side, the actuator on the drivers side works but will not lock or unlock the lock on the drivers side, probably a minor fix)
    * The INTERIOR IS REASONABLY CLEAN, IT HAS VERY CLEAN FRONT SEAT WITH NO TEARS, HAS AN ASHTRAY AND A DRINK HOLDER (usually gone or broken in this year of Dodge)
    * The front end has NEW UPPER AND LOWER BALL JOINTS ON BOTH SIDES, NEW INNER AND OUTER TIE RODS ON BOTH SIDES, NEW PITMAN ARM, NEW LOWER CONTROL ARM ON DRIVERS SIDE AND NEW UPPER AND LOWER CONTROL ARM BUSHINGS ON BOTH SIDES (basically all wear parts in the fronted were replaced, it still needs the camber/caster adjustment and alignment) 
    * The truck STARTS, RUNS, SHIFTS, DRIVES AND STOPS VERY WELL AND IS VERY RELIABLE AND DEPENDABLE. YOU CAN DRIVE THIS TRUCK ANYWHERE AT ANY DISTANCE WITH CONFIDENCE. 
    * The truck has GOOD GAS SHOCKS AND NEW BRAKES FRONT AND REAR.
    * The WINDSHIELD WIPERS AND WASHER WORKS PROPERLY.
    * ALL GAUGES WORK PROPERLY AND THEY ARE ACCURATE. 
    *The truck has HUSKY FLOOR LINERS.
    * The truck has a spare tire. 

          THE BAD:

              * Not the prettiest truck in the world, was painted with flat black automotive paint but has been touched up in spots with flat black spray paint.
              * Front grill and bumper is pushed in slightly on the bottom but can be easily pulled back into position with a little heat applied.
              * The truck only has one key but it fits all locks.
              * The hood hinges are not the best and cause the hood to lift a little near the windshield when the hood is closed.
              * The truck has various dents and dings but nothing too bad.
              * The cruise control does not work, probably something minor but I forgot to have it looked at when the truck was inspected by Cambridge Automotive. 
              * The dash has cracks (VERY common on these old Dodge trucks, there is a replacement cover on eBay for $102.00). 
              * The back seat has various stains and a rip in the cloth. 
              * Visors have no material on them (but the mirror lights work properly). 
              * There is a hole in the flatbed where the welding machine used to sit but it can be easily fixed with a piece of diamond plate welded in.
              *The tint on the windows is not of the best quality but will do.
              * The steering box could stand to be rebuilt, the steering is a little loose.
              * I can't find the faceplate to the stereo.
              * The windshield is cracked.
              
                                                                                                        ****THE PASSENGER SIDE DOOR WAS NOT CLOSED ALL THE WAY IN A COUPLE OF THE PICTURES OF THE PASSENGER SIDE BUT THE DOORS CLOSED JUST FINE****

                                                                                                                                                                                 ****OFFERS AND TRADES CONSIDERED****

            
   As you can see the good aspects of this truck far out weigh the bad and I can represent this truck in good faith. Overall this truck will give it's new owner MANY more years and miles of service, it has been well maintained mechanically and is a good solid old truck. This truck can be a really nice looking truck with little effort or expense. My 18 year old Son likes the way the truck looks just like it is, he says that the flat black paint is "in" and wants to have it pinstriped  but I will leave this blank canvas to the new owner to do his or her will. You will be happy with this truck and I am going to sell it for a very fair price. I don't know for sure  at the time of writing this description but I am willing to bet that this will be the lowest priced Dodge diesel on eBay and it is A LOT OF TRUCK FOR THE MONEY I ASSURE YOU. Please check out my feedback, bid with confidence and bid to win this SOLID OLD DODGE 3500 EXTENDED CAB SLT DUALLY FLATBED TRUCK POWERED BY A  LOW MILEAGE 12 VALVE CUMMINS DIESEL AND 5 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION and as always HAPPY MOTORING.
