1995 Dodge Ram 1 Ton Flatbed 5.9 Cummins Diesel Work Truck on 2040-cars

Up for sale is my 1995 Dodge Ram flatbed. This truck has been used for my company truck for the last year. I really like it but due to a change in registration laws in my state, I need to downsize to a smaller truck.

I bought this truck here on e-bay from a dealer in Nevada and flew out and drove it home. It had a utility bed on it when I bought it and I had the bed changed to put the flatbed on from my old truck which was totaled by a drunk driver while parked in front of my house. Since I've owned this truck, I've done several things to improve it. One was to have heavier springs installed in the rear so it would hold extra weight. After I had the flatbed installed I made new sideboards and painted the bed and sideboards. Sideboards are heavy duty made of 2 by10 boards and 3 in. channel iron uprights. I put 2 new batteries in shortly after I bought it, and a few months later I replaced the crankshaft position sensor, had the AC repaired and fixed some transmission leaks and had a new windshield installed. I also recently had the front brakes replaced and a new pitman arm installed. The radio, AC, Heat, and power windows all work. The overhead compass and thermometer also work The power windows occasionally don't work and you have to tap on the door to get them working again. I think its a loose wire or possible a dirty switch.  The tires are in good shape and still have a lot of miles left on them. Mudgrips on the rear and regular tread on the front. All glass is good with no cracks.

 I've recently gotten 21 MPG on one long trip unloaded and on the way home the same trip got 18 MPG with a 4000 LB load.  I've taken several long trips in it this last year, and it hasn't left me stranded anywhere or had any major breakdowns, I personally wouldn't be afraid to get in it and drive it anywhere in the nation. It's very reliable.

There are a few things about the truck that are not perfect but it's in pretty good shape for it's age. It has been re-painted in  the past before my owning it and was originally white. There are a few small dings where the white is showing through.  There are a couple cracks in the dash that are barely noticeable, and there are some stains on the carpet, that don't show because they are covered by the floor mats. The seat is good except for some wear on the drivers side that you can see in the photo. There are 4 holes drilled into the front bumper on both sides that were used to support a pipe rack it had on it that was put on by the previous owner. It is also missing the interior rear view mirror. I'm not aware of any major mechanical problems I have a spare belt and water pump that I will include to the new owner.

The mileage listed is current as of the listing date Oct 19, 2013 and is subject to change as it's still being used. If you want the current mileage before bidding feel free to ask. Buyer is responsible for any transport or shipping. I will help in any way I can but I prefer you make your own arrangements.

Update*  In late November early December 2013 I took this truck on a 3500 mile round trip from Garden City Kansas to Jacksonville Florida. My average fuel mileage for the trip was slightly over 18 MPG. On the return home I was hauling around 3500 LBS. As stated above, the mileage will be changing as it is still being driven. The autocheck report is showing 2 problems, one being a duplicate title. This must have happened before my owning it. All I know is that i did not have any problem getting a title issued in my name. The other problem is because the title is stating "mileage exceeding the mechanical limits" I don't know why this is showing as an issue. What do they consider as the mechanical limits?
