1984 Dodge Ram Royal 150 Truck with 104K Miles - $1750 (Spokane)



I have a 1984 Dodge Ram 150 Royal Truck for sale. It has 104,000 original miles and was purchased from the original older owner. The car has a strong motor and the automatic transmission shifts smoothly. It has always been maintained and the fluids changed regularly. With the low miles, the truck lists from $2,385 to $3,965 on line and I have seen a few trucks that are thoroughly detailed for as much as $10,850. I am asking for $1,750.00 obo for a fast sale. Please call me at 509-217

hmmm, maybe it was upgraded at some point in its life? that's quite odd

heavy duty 150 notice the rear does not have the hubs sticking out of the rear wheels like the 250 trucks do thats an 8 lug 9 1/4 rear just has a higher gvwr then a 5 lug 150 truck it will have heavier springs and bigger brakes also.

I've seen 250's without the hub sticking out as well, unless someone when through alot of effort to change a 1/2 ton thats a 3/4 ton with 150 badges, likely because the old ones fell off the fenders

one way to tell is the vin number

So have I, and I believe "everybody" used them at some point in the "lighter" 3/4T I was "aghast" the first time I saw one of these and realized what it meant.....a P.O.S!!!!

compared to the "real thing."

There is quite a few "1 ton" pickups floating around with 3/4 ton suspension under them with the 350 badging on them. it wouldn't surprise me if that happened with a "3/4 ton". Just an example of cost-cutting measures and profit maximization.

what does the vin say 1-2-3 could have been wrecked and someone put the wrong badges on?
