Truck is a 1977 M880 that was an ex army parts truck that has less than 30,000 miles on the body. Mileage in listing is miles since rebuild which is also what the Speedometer reads. Truck had no front clip when I got it and body had some damage but no rust. Truck was completely torn down, frame cleaned, wire wheeled and painted with chassis black, cab floors sandblasted, floors primed cab had a lot of work done to the drip rails to make them right so they flow through really nice. Body was painted with GCI forest green. All of the body panels close really nice (tailgate closes with one finger) and is straight. Only half of the passenger floor was replaced and a little patch around the heater box opening and that is all for rust repair on the cab. I did a ton of work making sure all surfaces were treated on both sides for rust prevention esp on the cab. Cowl panel has screen that is epoxied behind the vents to prevent leaves and pine needles from entering the cab causing moisture issues as well as preventing the annoying moment when you open the heater box vent and leaves fly into your face.Truck has no bling or stupid looking crap on it as I wanted it to look like a military truck and its theme as how Chrysler should have built the M880. Truck is rated from the factory at 1.25 tons. Truck weighs in at about 5400 lbs with no driver.The drive train had 190,000 when donor was purchased and was a 1990 W250. Engine runs excellent and has a ton of power. Engine has a NEW water pump, NEW fuel pump, NEW belt tensioner, rebuilt power steering pump with new hoses. Rebuilt WABCO vacuum pump. Pump has been turned up (starwheel, smoke screw, governor limiter screw, full power screw and fuel pin). IP has been resealed along with a 3200RPM spring. Exhaust manifold has been ported and port matched. Intake crossover has also been ported to allow a little more flow. It has a new take-off HX35 with a 16cm^2 exhaust housing and a Bully Dog 3" downpipe 4" straight back system and a stainless 6" tip. Custom LOKAR stainless throttle cable for silky smooth gas pedal operation. This throttle cable also cleaned up the side of the engine by eliminating the old clunky brackets. New valve cover gaskets and valves adjusted. Custom cold air intake. Stainless steel fuel lines from tank to pump. Getrag shifts nicely and is quiet.Trans fluid was just changed for the second time since truck was built and oil looked good. Ran a magnet through old oil and didn't pick up anything. Has new clutch and slave cylinder. Truck had a new radiator a couple years ago. Both axles were sandblasted, disassembled, cleaned and new parts installed. I have over $1600 just in parts on the axles and receipts to show. Truck has 4.10 gears and has a rebuilt (new clutches and plates) power lock in the rear. Rotors and drums resurfaced, new shoes, pads, wheel cylinders, hoses, lines, shocks, bearings, seals, u bolts, front spring bushings and rebuilt calipers. Rebuilt Master Cylinder and Brake booster. New U joints in rear drive shaft. Has an NP205 29 spline married transfercase that shifts smoothly and is quiet. Tires are 4000 mile BFG KM2 Mud Terrain 255/85/16 (33.3"x10") on FORD 16x7 steelies. Steering is a newer remanufactured steering box, custom built U-Joint steering wheel shaft, sway bar, NEW MOOG tie rod ends. Steering is smooth and next to zero play. Front leafs are out of a 1970 Camper special and have 7 leaves and a military wrap front spring eye. They ride smoother than a stock cummins spring and sit 1" higher than new stock cummins front springs. Rear has 7 leaf springs with helpers.Interior has a repro floor mat with plenty of sound matting. I installed a Pioneer 760W amp with 2 6x9 Pioneer speakers and a 10" Pro Series sub which really kicks inside a small cab. You can plug an Ipod in with the cord provided from the amp since there is no radio. Has factory tinted glass with a tinted slider rear window. I also did a one off gauge cluster using auto meter gauges and incorporating led indicator lights. I also custom installed a blue led in the speedometer so when you turn the HIBEAM on the speedo gives off a blue tint. All wiring has been checked and rewrapped and front headlight wiring was upgraded to 14gauge with headlight relays. Headlights are really bright for old sealed beams. All electrical connections were soldered where possible. New EXIDE 1200CCA battery that will turn the beast over with no problem on a cold day. Has a new speedometer cable as well. There is a package tray and tool organizer behind the seat. I went ahead and installed new weather stripping all around the cab. Inside is a beautiful black interior with PERFECT condition door panels and rare Lil Red express bucket seat frame and buddy seat along with A100 van seats. Upholstery is original and in very very nice shape! Glove box is in good shape (has a very small hairline crack) but not faded and dash surround is also nice. Steering wheel is in good shape as well. Has the hard to find 1975-only cab mounted mirror bracket which eliminates the annoying event of a rear view mirror falling off the windshield. Has NOS turn signal switch in column as well as an NOS passenger side taillight and very nice drivers side taillight. All other lenses are very nice as well. Truck gets between 17-21 mpg between fills and has the diesel 30 gallon tank.I believe the price is good on this truck considering what a nice 1989-1993 dodge cummins truck goes for these days. Has a tow hitch and trailer brake control and handles 8000lb trailer really nicely with plenty of power! Nothing has been overlooked on this ZERO rust M880! Look at what I have done to it and I think you can agree it is quite impressive. I'm pretty sure I have overlooked a lot but this is a large amount telling what exactly it is. I have 10,500 miles on it since rebuild and haven't had any problems. Drove to IA and back for Christmas and was a blast! Last week I drove to NYC and back doing 75-80 the whole time. Truck will go pretty much anywhere in any terrain. Was inspected by a PA inspection station 2 weeks ago. All grease points are done each oil change. Tires just rotated. Only issues (upfront honesty here) Driver's side window regulator has a couple stripped teeth when all the way up so you have to take one hand and push it down a tad bit to get the crank to grab. I will include a good regulator you can install yourself. I simply don't have time and if I do I will try to get around to doing it this week and update the listing! Needs heater cable that runs from the controls to the valve on the heater hoses. Very minor issues that are pretty much nothing for a 34 year old truck. I would not hesitate to fly in and drive home!
