I measured the length of the truck and it is 25 ft. long. The weight of the truck I don't know exactly but figure without any bed and all,it might weigh around 10,000lbs by itself. I took a picture of the metal plate on the door jam,but not sure if it will help out on anything.
Going to sell my 1971 Dodge CN-800 and see if there is any interest here before I list it somewhere else.
1971 Dodge CN-800 with a V-504 Cummins non-turbo diesel with 5 speed transmission with 2 speed rear. Has air brakes, rear lift tag axle that the farmer I bought it from added. It does start...
No updates on my project. I haven't really messed around with it for a long time as I have some other things going on and this 'ol truck gets pushed to the backburner.
2006 Dodge Ram 3500 I bought from the leasing company that my employer uses. I drove that truck since it was new and racked up almost 400,000 miles and just couldn't stand to see it go.... so I bought it and still enjoy driving the old girl around.
Yep, the good 'ol death wobble isn't fun bear. My old '95 3500 did the same thing and got that fixed. I actually had a tie rod go bad and dropped out while driving and what a feeling that was when the front wheels want to head in opposite directions and the truck wants to do an endo. Good thing...
Still have my '01 which will be with me for a very long time. I had shown this truck a couple time but don't anymore. It's pretty much my truck for going on trips and hauling my car to shows. I have my '06 3500 that's like my daily driver now so the '01 goes in hibernation for the winter.
That's what I did with my 12 valve too. That has such a nice sound. There wasn't any performance stuff available so you had to kind of deal with it at the time. I had gotten the chrome valve covers for it until the the performance industry started to bring upgrades out.
I still have my info...
Here's the truck that got me into Dodge's. My 1995 Ram 3500 with the Cummins and 5 speed. I ordered it around Halloween of 1994 and picked it up a few days before Christmas of '94. I loved that truck but rust was showing up so I sold it a couple years ago to some kid who wanted it really bad.
Thanks bear! My buddy has ideas of just fixing it up but nothing set in stone. I don't think he will ever do anything with it in his or even my lifetime. It will sit in the barn, but at least I will be able to see it anyway. I wish I could keep it and restore but need to think about more...
