That's a clean ole ride. Wish I could find a 4x4 dually club cab in that shape with 24k miles. With the zero offset wheels I bet it will turn as quick as a vette. Sweet ride.

truck would be cool with stock/original stuff, th guy probably has rims/hubcaps still. interesting side note, the truck had a new injection pump! the owner told my dad when he first got truck it ran strong, got 20mpg. got a warrenty notice to replace injection pump. so he did, after that he said mpg dropped 3-4 mpg and power was noticable less. he never did anything about it. im guessing a combo of timing/fuel is the difference.

i would have to get that thing for a good deal seeing all the work it would take to get some of that stuff off before I would even drive that thing around town.

All these trucks take a little work to be made "cool" But it's always worth it in the end .. plus the negatives on this truck are really really minor .. no rust to deal with, no dents/scratches/faded paint. Just some pin striping/running boards/crappy wheels and a little too much chrome for my taste. Take all that stuff off, throw on a nice lift/tires .. and you'd have one sick ride

I totally agree Crossy! These trucks are cool for the lack of crap on them compared to 94's and up. The tach and grille guard would be plenty. The stainless steel trim at the bottom is nice but up here in the rust belt it would already have bubbles from it. Totally can tell an older gentleman has it. 24k is low! I thought my dads was low! He has around 76k on his and that thing never leaves the garage. This truck must have marks left on the ground from sitting still!

I recently bought a 94 Ram 3500 4x4 with 27k original miles, one owner, and garage kept. It looks, feels, drives, and even smells like new.

All I have to say is I probably paid way too much for the thing, but to me it is cool to have a 15 year old truck, that feels so new. I would much rather have this truck over a new one.

I love that Blue 89 5 speed in the picture. I wish I could find one like it. I like the grills on the 89's for some reason. Sharp truck.

I just picked up a 93 250 4x4 w/ 16,000 orig miles.Barned, in unbelievable condition. It rides and runs like BRAND NEW! I was too young to buy brand new in 93 and always wanted one. It is said to be the lowest mileaged 1st gen in the USA. The seller has 2 more with a couple hundred more miles on them. Any way, I personally would pay a good buck for the truck as I feel they are the modern day Power Wagons and one that is clean, stock and drives like new is a real rarity from my region.It will hold it's value. I have no issue with mine from sitting. It would be easy to strip that truck to stock and it would put a big grin on if you were driving that new perfectly operating needs nothing truck. I know I am.
