Hey everyone. I have a really nice 85 Dodge Ram 150 that is factory equipt with a 318 and an A833 4spdOD trans. This truck has no visible rust, but does have a few easy to fix dents. I currently drive this truck 40 miles round trip a day to work with no problems. The ONLY reason I am selling this truck is that I blew out two disks in my back and have a very hard time pushing the clutch and therefor need to find an automatic. This truck only has 110K orig. miles and is an untouched old mans truck. It still has all the emmisions stuff on the vehicle and it runs strong. I get about 18MPG on the freeway. Last year I drove it 800 miles from Utah to where I currently reside in Portland, OR. There really is no problems with the truck other than the clutch feels funny, and grabs at the very top. But it does not slip or anything like that. The truck wears all of its orig. paint, so you can see how nice the sheet metal is. I did install a new starter, alternator, and battery last year. The truck could use a tune up as I believe they are the orig plugs, wires, cap, etc... Hell, I will even have that installed for the new owner if I get close to what I am asking. This truck really is a cool truck and a lot of fun to drive. I had lots of plans for it, but rite now back surgery and getting back on my feet are taking priority. I found the car that I would like to get and it is $2500. I would like to get as close to that as possible for the truck, but feel free to make a reasonable offer. I honestly believe that you could drive it anywhere. I will get more pictures of it tomorrow, but this is the only one I have currently. Feel free to make reasonable offer. Thanks everyone!

If the clutch pedal is too difficult to push, you can change that pretty easily. The factory style pressure plate is a three finger borg and beck unit. If you replace that with a diaphragm pressure plate, you can press it down with your big toe.

Nice truck at a great price. I wish I could get it myself. GLWTS.
 
Yes, he can do it easy with the bad back! LOL!!! ;)
 
I would love to have that so bad I can taste it!!! Glws!!
 
It's not the pressure of the clutch, it's just doing it. I have really damaged myself and my nerve going down my leg is pinched. So trying to drive it in rush hour traffic down the interstate or even worse the 217(anyone in the portland area knows what a nightmare that is) every day... Just can't do it.
 
Wish I was closer - that would be a fun truck to have. Good luck!
 
Wish you well with the sale and getting back in better health C stripes. Man you go a pretty view and that sounds like a great trunk, V8 4 speed with a nice body ... bet its fun to drive. I have my 96 Dodge 5 speed parked and am missing rowing the gears on the way to work.
 
Thanks guys. I just got put on work leave till after surgery. So I am out of work till June...

As promised, more pictures. I didn't have time or feel well enough to wash and detail it, so its how I drive it. Also, someone hit it and busted out a tail light, thats the only damage. I will replace it asap.

Lots of pics here, http://s60.photobucket.com/user/Jeremymacdonald/library/truck?page=1

Seriously, feel free to make offers guys. I may also do part trades on Vintage AFX, T-Jet, or Tyco slot cars. Certain guns such as Glock .45 or 9mm, AK-47, AR15, S&W model 29 (Dirty Harry gun), pre 1964 Silver or Gold coins, or something like that. I need to come up with a hobby in all of this "free" time that the doctors put me on due to the back injury.
 
If you weren't so far away I'd probably use that as my daily driver. That thing looks great for its age!

Good luck with the sale and better luck with your surgery.
 
Forwarded this to a friend I know in the Northwest. That's a bomber truck. Good luck with the sale.
 
I would love to find a nice running/driving 71-73 Satellite 4door or coronet with a V8 I prefer a 71 of either. I would be willing to trade straight up or plus cash depending on car. May also trade for Dart, Duster, Cordoba, Magnum, Aspin, Volare, etc...
