Up for sale is my custom built 1992 Dodge Cummins Crew cab. It started out as an extended cab long bed truck. In 2001 it was stripped down to the bare frame to begin the build to make it into a crew cab. The chassis was stretched and reinforced. The cab came from a 1980 forest service truck from California. It was sand blasted down to bare metal to make sure there was no rust anywhere. The cab and rear doors are from the 1980 truck. Everything else is 1992. It is titled and vin'd as a 1992. All the 92 interior was installed, long with power seats from a Ford super duty. The center console is a locking unit from Tuffy. Everything is power, ncluding the rear doors. During the build a power sunroof from a Mercedes was installed. It does not leak at all. Never has. The truck is 100% rust free. Not a spot anywhere. It has Buckstop bumpers front and rear. I have the brush guard, ut it is not currently installed. Right after the truck was built it was photographed for Buckstops website. I have included some of those photos. The photos of the truck with the original bed are old photos. I no longer have the bed for the truck.

The engine is a 12 valve Cummins turbo diesel and the transmission is a 5 speed manual Getrag. It has a Dana 60 front with Chevy crossover steering, nd the rear is a disc brake Dana 80 from a 2001 Ram. It has 3.55 gears. Last fall all the u-joints and brakes were replaced. Clutch is in good shape and everything works flawlessly. It has a 4" lift with near new 35" BFG all terrains on 16.5" aluminum wheels.
Last fall the original engine was replaced with one that had fewer miles. The new engine has 120k, nd before it was installed it got a bunch of new gaskets replaced, he killer dowel pin fixed and new main seals. I also had new 75 hp injectors, nd a new Holset HX35 turbo installed at that time. Other than those two items, he engine is stock. The truck has driven about 2500 miles since all this work was done.
As far as extras, he truck has a straight pipe exhaust, Pacbrake exhaust brake, nboard air compressor and rear airbags with controls and gauge inside the cab. The bed has a hidden gooseneck hitch. The bed surface is Trex deck and it's seen some use. The truck was built for work. The bed was originally built to dump, nd still could if a hydraulic cylinder were to be installed. All the original bed mounts are still there, o putting a factory bed back on it would be an easy thing to do.
On to the bad. The clearcoat is starting to peel in a few places, ainly on the hood. I did my best to show it in the pictures. There is one spot of minor damage in the front passenger corner by the bumper where the truck hooked a fence post. It has minor scratches here and there, ut no major damage. Its never been wrecked or in any kind of accident. Mechanically there are only 2 things wrong with this truck. The cruise control does not work, nd the speedometer bounces around. I'm pretty sure it needs a new cable. It just turned 200k, ut with the speedo acting up, he actual mileage is around 210k.
There is a lot to this truck and I may have missed some things, o I will edit this if I remember them. I have many more detailed photos and will be glad to email them to anybody, nd if you are local you are more than welcome to see, nspect, nd drive the truck before placing a bid. I will work with your shipper if shipping is necessary, ut all arrangements must be made by the buyer. This truck is not perfect in any way and I've done my best to show all the spots in the pictures, ut if there's a certain area you would like to see, et me know and I'll send photos. The LED headlights in the photos are lot included in the sale. Original sealed beam headlights are installed now. This has been a great truck for me, ut it's time I move on to something a little newer and lower to the ground.
