[6.5dieselman]

i some input on which truck to buy:
1996 dodge 3/4 ton 4wd cummins auto- needs bumper-$3000
1993 dodge 1 ton cummins 4wd 5spd rough body-$2500
1994 chevy 3/4 ton 6.5L auto 4wd-$3000

93 dodge

93 dodge, just watch that Getrag tranny though, its not nearly as good as the NV4500. Although the NV4500 did have trouble losing 5th gear, most new rebuilds have fixed it I think.

what are you going to be using the truck for?
if it's a work truck and looks aren't important, the '93 would be the choice.
problem is the body and interior parts are obsolete.
the '96 would be next up only for the fact parts can still be had. BUT the trans is weak.
the chebby would be a good work truck but the $$$$ are too high compared to the others.

the only thing about the 93 is that it has no title and is basiclly a rust bucket

run as far away as you can. no title=big problems....

Geez, here I though the answer was going to be easy - the 93. But with no title that thing could be a little warm.

But go with the 96 then, at least over the Chevy it has a somewhat real axle.

Offer $1200 for 93, then buy the Chevy and swap in the cummins.

If you are not interested in the 96, get me the contact info. I would be interested in it. Thanks.
