Hey guys I had a thread on this a little while ago but I just picked up the truck today.
Its a 97 Dodge Dakota,117K,4x4,Xcab,SLT.Loaded up.It is a one owner truck.it looks terrible.It runs and drives good.Here is the rundown on it.

This is my fiancee's fathers truck,he has been hospitalized for quite a few years and can no longer drive.He bought it brand new and paid 24G for it.His son has been driving it the past couple years and he does not know how to drive too well.It has been maintained as far as Oil changes brakes etc.But not cosmetically.The son got into a an accident 2 years ago with it.He sideswiped something we are not sure.It dented in the box pretty good.There is NO FRAME DAMAGE and the truck is straight.Definatly needs a new bed.Clear title too it was never reported as an accident because he didnt hit another car he claims it was a tree. .The rear bumper has dents,The front drivers fender has a dent.The entire drivers side has dents as you can clearly see.Throw on a new box or repair this one and it will look half decent.

Mechanically it runs really well.4x4 works perfect,Shifts perfect,Engine is smooth as can be.Although it has a cracked Y pipe and is loud as heck.The brakes work real good.Temp stays low,Oil pressure is high.It has the 5.2 magnum in it.I cant see any leaks and it doesnt smoke.The right side front tire seems to be toed in a little.It drives pretty straight down the road and it doesnt pull or drift.But I would have it checked out.All the electronics work,power windows,locks,air,cruise,tilt,etc all work.Has a sliding rear window.The truck is rust free underneath and the body is rust free too.Even though you have to replace the bed.I feel bad for her father he has alot of money into this truck mechanically but the son destroyed it on the outside.Probably wouldnt take much to get it back to original.It runs that good.

The interior is complete but the floors and center cionsole are very dirty.He was not the cleanest person.The headliner sags a little and I would steam clean the entire cab.I am going to clean it up some as soon as I can.There is a wheelchair hoist in the bed that is coming out before it sold.

I am located 10 miles north of scranton PA.MY numbers are 570-254-6219,and my cell is 570-604-8763.Call me anytime or email me daunionman@adelphia.net.
The price of this truck is $1650 FIRM FIRM FIRM.it is worth that easily.With about $1500 worth of body work and a Y pipe it can be like new again.Title is clear and ready to be transfered.Here are the pics
