This is "The" original Dodge Cummins pickup.  It is the very first year, and a very rare single rear wheel D350 (1 Ton) 2WD pickup.  I have yet to see another D350 like it on the road.  This truck is bone stock and original in nearly all areas.  It even has the original Chrysler premium sound system option with cassette player along with the original owner manuals.  The truck was repainted about 8 years ago in urethane, and looks very good as you can see.  There are many blemishes on this truck as it has been well used over the years.  I have had it for most of it's life, and I love this old girl.  The original 12 Valve non intercooled diesel is in it, and all that has been done is the water pump, and the injector pump has been stepped up a bit.  This thing has some serious power.  The manual 5 speed shifts excellent, and the clutch was replaced around 180,000 miles.  It has a Dana 70 rear end with 354 gears.  I recently changed the carrier bearings.  The suspension is pretty much original except for shocks, and brakes.  The front rotors have always chattered under heavy braking, and I could never figure out how to get rid of it.  The AC works good, and it is the original R12 system never had issues other than adding some every few years.  The tires are like new all around and very good quality heavy truck tires.  I towed a camper trailer with a 5th wheel hitch.  It is fully functional with the plug and trailer brake control.  The hitch is the old style non rocker as you can see, but it tows like a dream and gets 15 MPG with the camper on it.  This truck gets phenominal mileage.  I have a 2005 cummins with a 24V motor, and it eats way more diesel than this old girl.  She has clear title, and has had no accidents.  There is a heavy Draw tite bumper hitch receiver as well with the 4 prong trailer plug.  This is a longbed pickup with a bed liner.  The 5th wheel hitch is bolted down through cut outs in the liner.  There is no rust anywhere I have seen in this truck.  It is a California/Oregon truck as far as I know.  It has a slider rear window that works, but the lock is broken.  The seat has a hole where the driver sits.  The rear main seal drips a little oil on the garage floor.  I have always garaged this truck, although the rubber seals for the driver and passenger windows are cracked and dried out.  All the glass is good with no cracks.  The front bumper has a crease in it where I hooked a stump in revers and pulled it back slightly.  It still look fine, but a new bumper would look pretty.  The grille is excellent in all respects except for a could little dings and scrapes in the metal stripping.  There is a silver dollar size dent near the passenger side read wheel well that is barely visible.  There are some scratches I noted in the photos the best I could, but they could easily be touched up.  All the hardware works for the doors and windows.  Everything is manual crank old school which I always liked.  The driver door hinge is pretty tired, but still closes well after all these miles.  The tailgate is absolutely beautiful.  The outside latch has been partially disable so I reach in the bed to drop the tailgate.  The rear bumper is very nice chromed diamond plate factory.  The drive shaft with carrier was freshened up with all OEM parts at 200K miles.  The truck drives very well overall.  I has a little vibration at highway speed, but mostly due to the big original steel wheels.  The engine starts right up every time.I put a factory new OEM starter in it a year ago.    When it is cold it puffs a little blue for a minute then it is all black from there.  Remember it has alot of miles, but there is another 300K in this truck.  You will never kill this engine.  It is impossible.  Ask questions if I missed anything.
