Thanks! It still has factory stencil markings on the frame. I've never seen such a clean old truck.
however, it is now for sale. My dream truck is being shipped from MO in a couple days!! I don't need 2 trucks when I'm 1300 miles from home!

Got two questions for the group.....
I have a 91.5 dually and I really need to get a second set of rims for winter tires....Will ALL dodge 8 lug rims from the dually's fit my rig or is there some edit that I have to go through?
I heard so many different things regarding how the cheby won't fit due to hub, Hummers won't fit the dually and need work on the hub area as well, Ford rims after '99 won't work due to them being metric....I just need a set of rims to either a_)look good in the summer or b_)crappy ones to put snow tires on.
Other question is, some dingus nailed the front end of my rig a couple weeks ago (parking lot, nobody saw anything, no camera's yada, yada.) and now I have to replace everything north of the cowl. I have the fenders, replacement grill, replacement bumper, replacement IC....
Where the heck can I get the rubber that goes along the top of the bumper and the 2 bumperette's????
Thanks,
Earl

I voted for you BearKiller for TOTM. Need to get some more 1st gen guys to vote. Is the sleeper on your truck functional? Stretched frame or is the bed shorter than 8'? You definetly got yourself a one of a kind truck there (and I mean that in a good way).

Compliments much appreciated.
Yes, the sleeper is fully functional; the entire rear wall of the cab is cut out and booted to the sleeper, just like on a big truck.
The frame is a long-wheel-base chassis-cab and has not been stretched.
Sandwiched over the factory frame are the rails of a Freightliner, doubling the frame from the rear of the cab backwards and adding a ton of weight.
The sleeper gives the optical illussion that the truck is somewhat shorter than it actually is; in reality, it takes up two parking spots.
Under the hood :
