$3800 in N. IL.
I averaged 20mpg hand calculated without the topper and 19 with.
I bought this in March.This is my 4th truck of this vintage so I know how it runs inside and out. Now, to describe the truck.
It is the LE package with captains chairs and the center cubby. No rips or tears in the seats. Drivers side could use some padding. Recline feature works on both seats but the drivers seat is missing the lever. Headliner is sagging but held up with some pins. I did the $.04 mod for the drivers wing window. Electric mirrors and windows work flawlessly and without any bind or slowing. Wing windows open and shut as they should. Has the rear sliding window but the latch is broken. All the gauges work and work well. A/C would make an Eskimo cold in the Arabian desert. The only thing not working as it should is the lightbulb for the HVAC controls. I plan on replacing that this weekend when I have time... I think.
The body is a 5/10. Needs rockers and a driver floorpan. Around $200 for everything you need minus paint. No cracks or chips in the windshield. It has 2 right tail lights. I have some chrome trimmed NOS taillights that go with it. Bed has a hole where a smoke stack was added. Tailgate works half the time, the other half require flipping the little lever on the drivers side. All the lights work, including the license plate lights. Chrome front grill has the usual crack where the hood latch comes through the radiator support. Passenger mirror chrome shell is busted but this doesn't affect the mirror operation.
The engine. The almighty Cummins engine. Nearly stock. I just did the valve adjustment and replaced the rear main seal about 2 months ago. I tuned it up and can return to stock in 30 minutes if you want. I consistently get 19-20 mpg running around 300 miles per week. I have an extra fuel and oil filter that go with it.
The stock auto trans runs great. I adjusted the bands and replaced the filter and fluid. It shifts great, unlike most autos of this vintage. It has definite, firm shifts. Has Traveller Tractor Hydraulic Transmission fluid.
The center support bearing and 1 out of 3 u-joints have been replaced. That should make you happy. The center support bearing (carrier bearing) costs $70 alone. The other 2 need replacing. When I have time, I plan on doing it.
Brakes work good. Typical Dodge brakes.
Needs tires before winter. Has 1 good rear, 1 front and 1 rear at 25%, and 1 nearly bald front.
It includes a really cool, old, grandpa style topper. Windows on the side move and work, as does the rear hatch. Even has the 70's style Dodge lettering on it.
