Greetings Ebay Community,

I am auctioning off a 1998.5 Dodge Ram 24 valve Cummins 4x4 5 speed manual truck with an attached sleeper!  This truck was altered by me for my specific needs.  I am now changing careers and no longer require such a unique vehicle.  I would like to explain to you my history with the vehicle so you understand the fabrication, modifications and the additions that have been made to the truck.  I purchased the vehicle with 230,000 miles from a dealer in Kentucky.  Originally the vehicle was an ordinary truck configured as a extended cab short bed.  Here is where I began the transformation into the truck you see today.  I stripped the vehicle down to the powertrain and frame rails.  Once I did that, I started replacing all the following parts- front wheel bearings, rear wheel bearings, rear brakes (shoes, drums and hardware), Optima dry cell batteries, High torque starter, Grid Heater, front brakes (pads and rotors), brake lines, emergency brake cables, every steering linkage, ball joints, radiator, ac compressor, ac condensor, ac port lines, sealed oil pan, sealed timing cover, sealed vaccuum pump, sealed CAD, axle seals front and rear, output shaft seal, drained and filled all lubricated components to OEM standards, adjusted the rack (valve train), Rancho shocks (front and rear), steering dampener, valve cover gasket, oil cooler and gasket...I'm sure there are more but I cant recall all of them.  As you can see from that list, I made this truck to run another stress free 200,000 miles.  Now for a list of what was added- Standard cab, new vinyl floor, new windshield, Oil pan heater, CB radio, Radio speakers, Banks Exhaust Brake, fender flares, 315 Mickey Thompson ATZ (just put them on less than 5,000 miles ago), B and D hideaway gooseneck ball, American flag headliner, Tire chains, Custom Shifter knob, running boards w/led lights, Mid 70's Kenworth Sleeper w/led lights, chrome accents, aftermarket towing mirrors, Heavy duty bumper hitch, new sleeper insulation and abs plastic, new sleeper mattress and bedding, camo seat covers, LED stobe light, service body, 5" aussie cut stacks and full stainless exhaust from down pipe all the way through the stacks, tri pod pillar gauges (Pyro, Fuel Pressure, Trans Temp), camo steering wheel cover, Custom rear mud flaps, visor w/lights, front fender lights, Quadzilla tuner, cold air intake...again I'm sure I am not remembring everything as you can tell by the pictures, this is one unique vehicle.

Now to give you a description of how the truck runs and drives- This truck runs EXCELLENT!  Just as a Cummins should.  I run 5k between oil changes and it does not burn oil or leak oil (which is rare as most of you know).  With all the steering compenents freshly replaced, the truck drives really nice, but I did not replace the actual steering box.  So, you do get some play in the wheel.  This is a characteristic for these trucks.  Four wheel drive works as it should and you get a replacement set of cv joints.  The clutch and synchros work as they should; no issues.  All the lights on the truck and gauges in the dash work properly.  This truck sounds beautiful and has that nice steady pull that Cummins is known to provide.  A trully fun vehicle to drive around in.

I encourage you to ask questions and view the photos.   

Note: Neither of the two vises on the rear of the truck go with the vehicle.  If you want them, we can discuss that seperately.

Lastly, the vehicle is for sale locally and I do reserver the right to end the auction early.
