Default 1997 Dodge CUMMINS Ram 2500 4x4 Club Cab Long Bed 5-Spd

Well, I got the head and gasket back in, drives better than it did before the head cracked, and with the studs and O-Rings I have no worries about head gasket failures anymore, but its time for a newer truck with a real back seat (Common Rail Quad Cab). So the oldest of my trucks is up for sale (I still have the 98 and 99, just don't drive them often).

Cummins with the 5-spd and a Heavy Duty South Bend Con FE clutch. Has duel 6" Miter cut stacks, 0 plate, New Head with O-Rings and ARP Head Studs clamping down on a new .081 Cummins Gasket (.020 over). New NV4500 Trans with upgraded mainshaft so 5th won't fall off, rebuilt NP241 DHD T-case, rebuilt Dana 80 rear end with 3.54 gears. New Thuren front track bar, ISSPro Pyro and 30lb Boost Gauge, New Energy Suspension poly sway bar bushing, New MOOG balljoints (the expensive ones, not the cheapo's), Centerline Wheels with 33" BFG A/T's, New Mag-Hytec diff cover, Ranch Hand front Bumper, 2 new Hella off-road/driving lights, B&W Turnover GN Hitch, New Windshield, passenger side Westin step bar (for the girlfriend, I didn't want one on my side but she made me put one in for her). Its a great truck, I'd just like something newer, with a full quad cab. Business is doing well, and so is the tree business as a side gig, so I'd like some more room, and a bit more comfort. This truck has the power driver seat, auto dimming rear view mirror, Infiniti sound system, two tone dash, rear slider window, Rhino Spray in Liner, and its a non smoker. Has just under 250K miles on it now, but it may get to 250K by the time its sold since I still drive it on occasion. It does have a dent in the passengers side of the cab, just behind the passengers side door, I never looked into fixing it, its also missing the passenger side door molding. I was going to pull all the moldings off, just haven't had the time. Any questions feel free to ask, I'm sure I've left some things out. I can get new pics, they won't be great, but you can tell me what you want. It has a Weather Guard Black Toolbox in it now thats brand new, for an extra $500 I'd sell it with the truck (it was $750 new), otherwise I'll keep it. Asking $10,500, or shoot me a reasonable offer, its priced low as it is, but I want to dump it for a newer truck. Might be willing to work a trade for a QC Common Rail truck, but its gotta be a 4x4. PM me for questions or anything else. Truck is located outside Buffalo, NY, and I might be willing to work out delivery if your withing a few hundred miles.

Where in PA are you? Buffalo isn't too far and I have family in Salamanca. Occasionally I work down in PA logging around Marienville, or however thats spelled.

If I could afford it hell yeah I would be, but I'm pretty limited on budget, turns out I can't write any more trucks off as business vehicles, which cut my budget almost in half...

Yeah, I still have it. Its still for sale, but I'm not so flexible on the price, just dumped a bunch of money into it, Tires, Head, Studs, and O-Rings... So I'm looking to either hang on to it for a while, or sell it for what its worth.
