sounds like a heck of a truck, i would ask for receipts on all the work he claims to have done to the truck, and i wouldnt trade both of your trucks for it

Personally I'd run like hell away from it. Your gonna pay a lot a money for a truck built to his liking and not yours. But beyond that from this spec sheet you can bet this truck has had the dog **** ran out of it already. 273,000 miles on Cummins Engine wouldn't bother me so much but that many miles on the rest of the truck means it's gonna be ready for a lot a nickel and dime rebuild work on everything that holds that motor.

If I had a truck built to these specs by me it would be a killer truck to have but I wouldn't buy one already customized to this extent. Just a personal opinion.

This is a trade deal my 94 and 91 for his one. When I read though I noticed things like DDP 370's, 185 hp injection pump, should I worry bout this or am I just not as smart as I think I am does DDP make 370's know what I mean? Can someone verify the spec sheet to not be play on words so to speak.

they do... sorta the make a 90 horse stick and a 370 marine is 90 hp. And I think they use 370 it what nozzels. I would be more worried about the 185 pump. Find out what it came off of.

Ah that makes cents now, never really did the math.

The 185 pump I am confused on I talked to the guy and he sent me pictures of the engine out and the O-ringed head, talked about work done to it etc, seems like a guy with all that kind of knowledge would not call a 180 a 185 pump I talked to him today and he knows what he is talking about all except the 185 pump deal. I'll ask more tomorrow.
