For Sale 2005 dodge ram 1500 4x4, HEMI 5.7L.

I am the original owner of this truck; this truck has a Super Lift 4” lift with 35” tires. I have replaced most of the body with southern rust-free parts that include the rear bed and bumper, hood and grill, both rear quarter panels, all 4 doors (about everything but the cab and the front two quarter panels) At that time I also replaced the gas tank and fuel pump with a new ones, both the headlights (Alpha Rex LUXX-Series LED Projector Headlights Alpha-Black) and taillights have also been replaced, I added LED fog lights, I added AMP Research sidesteps, ect… I will list as much as possible in the sections below and anything I think is an issue at the end. I do have several receipts going back to 12-13-2017 till current, I also have several more photos of the work I did on the body and parts replacements and photos of the truck before any work was done.

here are the facts.
VIN # 1D7HU18D15S307585
Miles 250,414

Engine/Transmission maintenance.
Engine and transmission have allot of miles, they have been well maintained, NO leaks, cold start fires right up, it runs and drives fine. I have replaced the Water Pump, Spark Plugs and Transmission serviced at 244k miles. My plan was to drive engine until it blew then replace.

Rust.
Truck is 99% rust free on the body panels, there are a couple tiny quarter size (maybe dime size) or smaller spots on the cab that need to be fixed (as the cab never got replaced), also there are a couple small chips in the paint mostly where the driver’s side where the front/rear doors meet.

Body replacement.
Like stated above I replaced the rear bed and bumper, both rear quarter panels, all 4 doors and hardware, hood and front grill. Also, the truck was undercoated when the rear bed and panels came off to be replaced. Also allot of the door upper and lower rubber seals have been replaced.

Paint info.
The truck has a custom paint job, it is two tone silver and black. Here are the paint codes 'GM464C' and 'WA805k GM', Also the rear bed/frame has a spray on coating.

Front/Rear drivetrain.
The front end had the following replaced at 249k miles. Remove & replace steering rack and pinion, Inner and outer tire rods, upper control arms with loaded ball joints, and lower ball joints, the front shocks are Rough County adjustable shocks. The rear axle was rebuilt around 210k miles, has a locker in rear axle and Fox Shocks in the rear, the truck also has air bags on the rear axle but has a leak in the air hose that is connected to the air pump, the air pump is mounted behind front grill and is wired to a switch inside the cab so you can fill/deflate the air bags from inside the cab.

Tires & wheels.
It has FUEL SLEDGE 20X10 -18 wheels with BFG ALL TERRAIN TA KO2 35"X12.5" (tires do not have allot of miles, still a ton of tread and the tires have been rotated every 5k miles), Tires do stick out of wheel well around 2” and do rub a little bit when reversing if you have the steering wheel cut hard.

Breaks.
Both front/rear brakes are in good shape.

Interior.
Both the Heater and AC work. The interior is in decent shape, the drivers front seat needs to be replaced or re upholstered and there is a couple small cut in the rear seat. The original interior in the truck is cloth 40/20/40 front w/bench rear seats. The fronts currently have seat covers. The rear bench seat is in decent shape but has a couple small cuts in it.

ISSUES.
As I mentioned above the cab was never replaced and there is a very small spots where rust needs to be fixed on the rockers, exact same spot on both sides, it is right behind the rear door on the lower rocker (see images).
Windshield wiper motor works but needs to be replaced wipers work but the wiper delay settings do not work, the aftermarket headlights were connected to its own switch and bypasses the built-in switch. Fix air line for air bags on rear axle.

I am asking $20k or Best Offer, may be willing to do partial trade. I have well over 30k into this truck, would be a good project truck as the body is solid and the truck is in great shape and was well taken care of.
