Oooh, this speaks to us in all of the right tones. A Dodge D-series one-ton ramp truck? Sign us right up…we love the 1970s era Dodges, we love big-block Mopars, we love purposeful trucks and we love ’em clean and low mileage? How low? How about a bit over 34,000 miles old? Yes sir, this sucker isn’t even broken in yet! Where do we begin? How about the 400ci mill under the hood? Yeah, it’s a smogger motor, but the 400 has potential if you don’t mind playing with the internals a little bit, and the 727 it’s hooked to will handle pretty much whatever you throw at it. How about the interior? It’s just the right mix of old-school pickup and 1970s Brougham, and with a good cleaning ought to look even better? Or you could focus your attention on the Hodges ramp unit, complete with 10,000 pound winch, tire rack, and storage boxes, perfect for the racer on the move! The asking price might seem a bit steep at first, but you tell us where you’d find another Dodge ramp truck that looked even half as good as this one does. We will wait…
Is the ’65 Dart included?
Here’s the cut & paste copy:

Just a few things that come from us stupid people in Ohio.
“Airplaine”
That is freeking sweet!!!
I thought about getting something very similar made in 1990 at a place near my house that does all types of conversions. They told me you had to start with at least a 1 ton truck. Then they would extend the frame 3 feet, put the box on, do all the rewiring, and change the exhaust. Their box was a lot longer and flatter than the one on this truck and it also had a few storage holes and a winch.
They wanted 22 grand to do it! A brand new Cummins truck barely cost that much back then so I said “no thanks!”. I’d still like to get one but unfortunately it’s hard to find a Dodge cabbed one of any year and the new ones are $74000 to 174000!!! Ouch!
