92 dodge crew cab dually ,runs has 440 motor in great shape,newer tires,it needs a transmition it has a 727 but the tailshaft is broke.,also needs driveshaft.this is a NON SMOG truck it has diesel papers. great for towing thow.

did you read that? that is kinda odd if it had diesel papers it should of been a factory diesel and some one dropped a gasser in it..... idk tho

Would there be a 727 in a 92 factory?? I dont believe so. If it is close to you I would for sure go take a peek at it, wouldnt be hard to tell if it was a diesel factory.

A few issues. There were no crew cabs in 92. They stopped making 4 doors in 85. There for there was never a factory diesel in a 4 door. ( besides the old diesel in the 70's )

It is a bolt in, pretty much. The truck is a builder of some sort, tagged as a 92 with an older crew body. That is a dirt cheap price!

I could swap in your junk and have that running in a weekend. Just bolts.

My W350 says its a gas powered vehicle on the title but I have the original documents when it was purchased new and it definitely had the cummins. Somebody messed up the paperwork somewhere.

Don't get me wrong, I love diesels, but I think it would be cool to have a truck with a good ol' big block V8. They sound great too.

I'd fix it up as is. If the V8 is good anyway.

Either way for $900 its a steal.
