A real nice D250 Dodge Cummins truck sat on a local dealers lot for around two months priced at $2900 and probably sold for around $2700 or less. The tugs normally sell in the $2000 price range + the auction fees + the cost of hauling to get it home. So the question comes down to how economically can you either buy a rear frame section, do a frame splice, find a replacement drive shaft and a 3.08 differential, and add a factory replacement bed or go the other route pull the engine, pull the body, find a frame with a 3.08 rear axle and transplant everything onto it. Usually the tugs that have a title are listed as an "incomplete" vehicle by the VIN number. Of coarse prices can vary in different parts of the country so you just have to add up the numbers and figure out if it is worth doing all of the work involved.
