You are bidding on a rare Dodge D100 short bed truck. This truck is an original 440 automatic SE trim truck. Very rare, less than 100 440 short bed trucks known to have been made. Now it has a factory Dodge Mitsubishi 243ci diesel in it. I got the 440 from previous owner. It is a 1978 440 engine but have no way to verify anything else. Diesel engine has been turbo'd by previous owner. I have taken the intake pipe off to verify the turbo works and it does. The body is probably the best un-restored body you will find on a truck like this for a thousand miles. No rust! Very Straight. Interior is getting old. Carpet was ripped out to show floor boards being perfect! This diesel truck is known to get 20-22mpg. This is a short bed model and has less gear ratio (3.21 gears)than stock and will probably see 22-24mpg. Put a step side bed or regular short bed on it and have yourself a great truck that gets amazing fuel mileage. I have put about 50-75 miles on the truck and seems like a great truck. This is not a get in and drive it to New York type truck so please don't ask! Glow plugs start the truck in 3-4 seconds literally. Just a good truck. Take the diesel out and put the 440 back in if you'd like. Would then be a very sought after $12-20k truck depending how you would restore it. Deposit of $350 is due within 24 hours of the end of auction.The remainder to paid with cash in person or bank wire transfer within 5 business days. There are no refunds and you are bidding on a perfectly described ad. Truck is for sale in the state of California in Sacramento County. You must have this vehicle transported from my house within 30 days. I am easy to deal with and I ask the same from you. Thank you Truck is for sale in other venues and reserve the right to end the auction early at any time. Thanks This is the SE fully loaded model. Upgraded interior/gauges/cruise/tilt amfm radio etc etc. Clear Kansas title. This would make a great smog exempt dodge truck in California. You could essentially use this truck for endless possibilities. Vin number is D14BD8BS264603
