It absolutely kills me to do this, but this truck will only rot further into the ground sitting in my yard.

1994 3/4 ton 2wd Dodge, 12 valve Cummins, NV4500, 157k miles, $3500 or best offer.

This truck was my dad's baby, the truck he always wanted, the one we took two trips through Canada in, the one i could never let go of. I kept telling myself I'd put it back on the road, but it's only getting rougher sitting here, and I figured I'd offer it to you guys before I let the general public loose on it.

This truck hasn't been on the road since 2008, when he lost his left leg and couldn't drive a manual anymore, he passed away in 2011 and I couldn't bring myself to get rid of his truck.

Started life as an SRW 3/4 ton, but he swapped the wide 80 for a narrow dually 80, factory one ton rear springs, along with the front hubs and at the time, the dually bed.

If my memory is right, the fuel plate has been removed and the timing is slightly advanced, otherwise it's totally stock mechanically, even with the full factory exhaust, it will need a starter and a shutoff solenoid, as well as batteries and probably cables, I had been starting it up and putting it around the block a couple times a year usually, but probably three years ago the starter gave out, and it hasn't been started since.

He sold the dually pickup bed for one reason or another around 09 or 10, and I tossed that flatbed on it a few years later just so it would have something on it, that bed is basically scrap. For the longest time this was a totally rust free truck, but 10+ years of sitting have made the rockers brittle.

The rightmost portion of the back window was busted out when the pickup bed came off, and a piece of plexiglass has been stuck in there since, otherwise the interior is damn near perfect, besides a few pieces I robbed for other trucks over the years, like a window motor and the original visors, and it's perfect dash finally cracking after all these years, I literally just saw that for the first time when I went to take these pictures.

Not unless you've got a running K20 in need of a new cab, bed and title.

Or maybe a whole nice half ton.
 
That's been my plan since I was 15, but it never came to fruition and it kills me seeing the paint fade and the rockers rust.
I’d buy it off you. But that obviously won’t work out. Seriously keep it.
The price your asking it would be sold in 10 minutes.
 
That's what I've told myself for 10 years, but I've just got too many trucks in my yard, the white-trash-o-meter is getting a little too high for my liking.

Over the years I've had so many people stop and ask about that trick, and I told them all no, I was gonna put it back on the road, and I haven't yet.

I'm that guy lol.

All good!
I’ve sold things I didn’t what to. Whatever works for you.
 
I don’t believe you. There’s no way a pre emissions diesel that clean is for sale this long. Damn I want to buy this but like you I’ve got to much as it is.
 
That’s a gone before the ink dries on the for sale sign kind of price.
 
Well I'm not sure if it was serendipity or just chance, but I bumped the listing on Facebook last night and it was sold this morning.
