6spd manual and diesel! And it has my favorite of the Dodge wheels, wish they came in 5 lug....

$15k is a lot to spend on a truck that old but why not...

Look close at pic 24. Lower panels have ben bedlinered,
Could be runs or rust bubbles. Check close for rust.

Might bring up the rust issues and see if you can get them to knock the price down, makes me glad I'm in Texas and don't have to deal with that. Nice looking truck for sure though and would love to have a ctd with a 6speed.

My biggest challenge has been trying to find a diesel with a manual transmission. I originally wanted a third gen but those have been next to impossible to find.

I took a look at this truck today and overall it looked like it was in decent condition. I walked away from it due to the amount of rust at the bottom of the doors. There was sprayed on bed liner covering the lower portion of the truck. I liked the idea but it looked like I could just peel it off of the doors.
