Hello, I am new to this forum.

Today I bought a 1993 D250 truck off a farm in Missouri. The owners bought it 5 years ago & used it on their farm & never licensed it. They bought it at an auction from a university in southern Missouri. It had been used as a groundskeeping truck there since it was new & was NEVER LICENSED! So it has never been licensed since it was new!

The good news - it only has 37,xxx miles on it! I only paid $800 for it!

The bad news - it looks like a farm truck & a groundskeeping truck. It still has reminents of the decals the university put on the doors, & the body & bed are beat up pretty bad.

I need to find body parts. Doors, fenders, hood, & bed.

From what I can tell, parts from 1986 to 1993 will fit on it. Is this correct? I hope so because parts should be easy to find if they will fit that many years.

Thanks for your help

 

Yes those yrs will work. Not sure if there was any difference in the body's somehow between 100-250 trucks

 

What do you mean by this?

 

They (parts) might be bigger,or have more or less of a bulge. On nissan hadbodies trucks 4x4 front fenders have a bigger bulge than 2wd.

 

i don't see any difference in the body between my 81 d150 and my 91 d150 except for the cab mounts and rad support/grille but you could still swap the cab but to change grilles you would have to change rad supports.

since your truck also has a magnum engine you may want to read through this

Interesting reading, but my truck runs perfect. After all it is almost 19 years old but only has 37,000 miles on it! LOL. I dont think the plenum has had enough time to blow the gasket yet.

It does have ugly 8 lug wheels though. Anybody know what wheels will fit on it?

 

probably not but it is good to know so that you can if it ever happens you know or so you can fix it ahead of time when you have some money and time.

i think the newer 8 lug rims will fit. i think almost every chevy, dodge or ford 8 lug rims has the same size bolt pattern but the hole in the middle is different. i forget which ones will fit which but i think it might just be easier to find some newer dodge rims.

 

Ya Im not sure what I want to do. Maybe some nice hubcaps? Anybody got a set of the 12" dog dish hubcaps for sale?
