This is a 1981 Dodge W250, 4WD, long bed pickup. It was purchased new by the Columbus, Georgia Metropolitan Airport in 1981. It was part of their fire rescue dept. until 1999. At that point it only had 8,000 miles on it, and now has only 36,500 miles. It had safety lights, a water tank and hose system mounted in bed while in airport service. It has a few dings to be expected for a 30+ year old truck and the safety yellow paint is faded. The body is rust free except for about an 8"X8" section of drivers side floor. The engine is a 360 4 barrel, and is the original. We just put a new Holley 600 on it, but the original Thermoquad carb is included. The 3 spd auto trans works great, as does the 4 wheel drive. The truck has A/C and it is all there, just doesn't blow cold. It has the big Dana front and rear differentials, and they are geared pretty low, I'm gonna say 4.10-4.30. It really crawls good in 4 low. This truck had NOT been beat on in the woods or dumped off into a lot of mud. You could restore this truck, use it as a good hunting rig, or it is also a killer candidate for a older Cummins diesel swap. This truck has NO title, as it was a Georgia truck and they don't require titles for anything older than 1986. If your state requires a title, that is on YOU. The VIN # is clean. If you are local to this area, you will remember seeing this truck parked near the fence at the airport, or running up and down the runways. $200 non refundable deposit due at auction end, via PayPal. You must come get the truck. We drive it once a week locally, but haven't done any long distance in it. Thanks for looking.On Dec-05-13 at 16:12:28 PST, seller added the following information: Had a few folks asking about the bottoms of the doors. They are rust FREE. There have been 2 speaker holes cut into the inside bottom of each door, but thats it.
