Its been for sale for awhile, was on Craigslist for a lower price, but once somebody found it and posted it on facebook, price went up. He was looking for a trade or cash and I tried to trade my dually for it with cash, took several days to get response to how it was built, and what had been done, and the answers were pretty vague. He wasn't even willing to take anymore pictures of specific things I had asked for. Got the feeling the guy didn't really want to sell. Last I saw it he wanted to trade for a second or third Gen truck
IIRC, he swapped in Dana 61/71 as it has 3.07 gears, with the NV4500 would be a nice highway cruiser. Believe he did a fuel pin as well, but no gov spring, says the HX35 turbo is new, just make sure its a legit Holset, and not a eBay el cheapo. Not sure what disc brake kit he used, but some are ebrake capable, others aren't, so that's something to look into, if you like an ebrake..
My only concern was the body work. Looked like a piece had flaked off the pass bedside. He claims no rust ever, just some dents, but being an old dodge, as well as a ex military and fire truck, id look it over carefully.
Otherwise good luck, crew cabs are a well sought out truck, if everything is legit, should be a great buy
