1993 W350 crew?

Looking through the Auto trader and came upon an advertised 1993 Dodge 350, single wheel, crew cab, long box, 4 wheel drive. Doesn't say what engine it has. This isn't possible is it? I thought they stopped in 84 with the crew?

I believe 85 was the last of the crews. More then likely someone made it a 93. Good starting point for a CTD conversion....

Unless it's untaxed, then it's red.

There are pics. It's definately a crew cab. 5 hours away from me in Quebec. Looks a little rough, but I guess the cab and doors and the frame are the main thing. Asking $2200.....

I would be real carefull about the VIN number of that thing, if it's titled as a 93 chances are high someone swapped the VIN tag from the newer truck onto the older cab. Let DMV or a trooper catch that error and they won't care that you just bought it. Big hassle certainly, criminal charges maybe.

'85 is the last year of the crew. I drive two of them.
If it is a crew cab long bed 4x4, it most likely was a 2WD from the factory and some one converted it, as they didn't make the crew 4x4 in a long bed.
Yes, a zealous trooper would have a field day with a swapped VIN.
My '85 diesel crew is registered in VT as a '85 Dodge diesel crew cab using the '85 Vin not the '90 cummins powertrain and dash.
Nobody seems to care that they never made a '85 cummins diesel here in VT...
