Well of course they did!

Unfortunately, you just can't prove it by shopping the used market. Why are they so rare? I'm trying to find a reg cab 2wd 12v as a potential project truck.

Ideally I'd find a '97 12V reg cab auto in plain fleet white with the all-vinyl interior and no options to speak of, except A/C. My ND blood can't handle heat all that well


Where should I be looking to find this thing? It's like trying to find a '98 12V QC 4wd 5-speed!

 

I have one parked in the driveway. 2wd 97 5 speed , cloth seats , rubber floor. It does have power windows and locks , as well as cruise control and AC.

I know where there is a 1994 5 speed 2wd , and it is bare bones , not even AC in that puppy.

They arn't THAT hard to find , if you look in the right places.

 

I love my 3rd Gen Reg Cab 2wd Rare as can be. Haven't seen another one yet. Like the idea of driving and not seeing another truck like yours down the street. Helps a little on resale value.

 

western nebraska is the land of 2wd reg cabs lol and so is texas I've heard oh and check farm equepment auctions you can do proxy didding on-line with most of em and get really good deals

 

Look for the earlier years, 94-95. My first Cummins was exactly that.

 

Yep, I've got one and love it. Great highway truck.

 

The local dealer has a 03 reg cab common rail on the used car side right now.

 

My 2001 2500 was a 2wd, reg cab, long bed, with CTD, 47RE, 410's, cloth seats, vinyl floor covering, crank windows, a/c, cruise and tilt with the slide-in camper package. It sat about as high as the 4wd's. I loved that truck, but really wanted a dually so I traded it in on my 2004. Since it is an early 04with no cat, I plan to keep it forever. I am on my third Cummins and am sold on them!!!

 

This sounds like the start of a really cool project truck!

 

You did see this one didn't you?

I have a 98' 12v quad cab 5 speed. - the 4x4.

 

OOOO! NIce! But I really need an auto trans--you might be guessing what the purpose of this truck will be

 

farm auctions are a good start, my dad drives a 96' 2wd reg. cab, his is a cab and chassis its the only way you could get the solid front axle

 

Ill keep my eyes open for you, any geographical area that you would be more prone to purchase from?

My buddy the dealer has a 95 3/4 ton standard cab stock w/Auto, 160ish on the mileage. I don't know what he wants for it, but if you could stand a maroon one I could see what the bottom dollar is.

 

I will trade you a 47RH with a converter and VB for an NV4500.
