Dam , second time typing this. I ve search far (really far) and wide for the right truck. I put over 800 on my impala just to go look at a pos last week.... but this week end, I took 24 hrs , three planes and one rent a car (about 400$)to get to the right truck. And you wonder why people don t want to fly,!
Its a 98 quad cab 3500 dualie, 12 valve, 5 speed, 4x4. Its clean, ver clean compared to every other trucks I have looked at. Its all red with tan leather interior. It being red was an added bonus, since I have a red trailer and one red race car.

It only took 80 $ and 22 hrs to drive home. In another thread...my location came up, well Im in Vegas, I don t know if thats good or bad? I have an extra 12 valve in my shop so thats one reason I wanted a 12 valve.
It also has some things already done that I was planning on. It has a slider rear window, a receding goose neck, a red rhino lining, a brake controller, power seat, and a am/fm/cd player, as far as I can tell its as loaded as loaded gets.

The seller evnen had new tires put on two days before I picked it up, yes 235/85's.

It has some engine work, the seller didn t know what, but he claimed pump work, and it feels like it, I ve driven one other that was close or similar and it was (by owner at 275/300 and 700 to 750 ft lbs....) and this truck is very similar.

Im feel like I found exactly what I was looking for, and received a bit more...... I know someone will ask how much.....? It was 15500 with the new tires even. and as near as I can tell, one fog light doesn t work, and the floor mats aren t the right ones, not a single tear inside, and one little ding in one side of the bed. The guy that owned it received $32.60 after pay off, and he had receipts for about 2000 in the last 8 months (that how long he owned it from the first owner).

Hey, is st louse to vegas in one day good time? BTW Oak city I 40 to texas, is the roughest road in amercia.....I has to slow down to be able to see.

 

oh yea , milage was ....16.5 low, 21.5 high on the trip, and I did alot of the passing, it has 3.54's and 235/85's.<br><br>

 

1320, Glad you finally got what you wanted. Sounds like a good deal to me. Enjoy.<br>Ed

 

i prefer gray leather and an auto, but that is what i want otherwise. that's a rare truck obviously and at a good price too!<br><br>sweet deal,<br>Tom

 

Congratulations, 1320! I know from experience it really pays to be patient and wait and look for what you really want. Sounds like you did just that. I had to take a plane trip to buy my CTD,too, but it only took me 5 hours to drive it home. And the seller picked me up at the airport. Mine was also extremely well cared for. An actual 2 years old, from the time of title, and it only had 12,000 miles on it. But I digress. Enjoy your truck, and welcome to the family!<br><br>DeWain

 

what kinda miles??sounds like a sweet truck!! did you say if it was 4x4 or not?<br>

 

150K, yes its a 4x4 and compared to all the others I looked at the whole truck is clean, frame, engine etc...I saw several in utah, and dam they use them hard in utah. Every one had oil leaks, needed body work and the beds were trashed...only one even had a liner.....<br><br>

 

Congragulations.

 

so now that you have it......do you want to sell it? :'( I can't find a truck like that anywhere.<br>DM01

 

cant find a truck anywhere??? come to northern Indiana there like a &quot;dime a dozen&quot; around here!!! u name it we's got it!!

 

Finding a 98 12 valve duallie is a chore, especialy in quad cab. I think that gets i down to about 3 months of the beginging of 98....<br><br>I found 5 total in the country. If you want to know about them let me know. I ve looked at two..... of them bought mine, and have not looked at the other two.<br><br>

 

if u ever get in indiana stop at a gas station and pick up a Indiana auto/rv there r tons of dodge truck with the ctd in that free mag.

 

so you r tellin me that there are plenty of 98 12valve 4X4 5speed quad cabs in Indiana?
