After a long wait (and life endlessly delaying my restoMOD), the powerplant for my project has been located and is in my driveway! I stumbled across a '96 RAM 3500 Dually on EBAY, but missed the end of the auction (because I was not paying close enough attention - DUH). It was very desireable mostly because it was in MA (only 2. 5 hours from me), and it was a work truck (I didnt really want to rip apart a nice truck). The auction winner was the sole bidder (very unusual), and was an EBAyer for about 4 days. I emailed the owner, and told him I would come get the truck if the auction winner didnt follow through. It was a long shot, but past experience has shown me that new users sometimes freak out when they win their first auction - then they disappear. Two days later, I get a return email saying the auction winner was a deadbeat, and a week later I drove the truck home!

It is a '96 Standard cab 2WD Dually, 215HP 5spd, with 173k on the clock. The frame is a bit rusty, but the body is all rust free. As soon as I can rip the PRIME MOVER and the NV4500 out, the rest is for sale... . any takers???

I' macross the river from you . . If the doors are rust free we may want them for my dads truck . . and I may be interested in the rear end , what is the ratio? does it have hydro boost or vacuum brakes?

Thanks

Ok, I didn't actually read what I wrote thoroughly. The bottoms of the doors are rusted through the seams (visible from the outside too), and the passenger door has a good ripple in it (looks like the mirror caught something). Sorry about that, my apologies. However, the REST of the body (Fenders, Hood, Cab shell & Dually Bed) really are clean. The Brakes are Vacuum Booster assist, and the rear is a Dana 80, 4. 10 gear, with the factory Limited Slip option. I drove it almost 200 miles home from MA, and it was both quiet and smooth. PM me if you would like any other info! Thanks!
