Mine, totally affiliated. Wrecked Dodge Ram 2500, 2wd, with a 12-valve 5.9 6bt Cummins turbo diesel and auto transmission. 250k miles. The truck hasn't been dropped off at my place so no detail photos yet. Truck was parked on the street and rear ended on the driver's side. Bed was pushed into the cab so driver's door hits opening now. Rear axle out of line with the rest of the truck. The truck was a great running and driving vehicle prior to accident but was very ugly cosmetically. It's done now, not worth fixing, but would make a good drivetrain donor.
$2000 firm for GRMers. Asking $2500 on CL.

Do you know the year, whether it is 2wd or 4wd, and if the engine or transmission have been "tuned up" at all? KDP mod? I see the stack, so I assume some interest of modification is there.
Yours?? What happened? Everything OK? Let me know if you need any help.
I'm fine; the truck belonged to a good friend and he was not in it when it was hit. 5am and someone in a Malibu plowed into it on a 25mph street clearly not going 25! I'm buying it from insurance to resell.
@Cooter: it's a 1996 and 2 wheel drive. As far as I know the engine and trans are stock. I'll ask my friend to be certain. The stack was a prior owner's mod, I'm sure he thought it was "cool."
Someone please stuff this into something old and heavy and bring it to the challenge!
Just what SanFORD needs...
This is perfect for my C30 dually build.
...except I don't own a C30 yet. 
Buy the donor first? My wife would probably shoot me. This should sell easy though. Lots of guys after that era 6Bt swap, and having a full donor lets you recoup some cost and scrap on top of it.
Wish I could buy, but timing isn't right. GLWS!

If only it was closer. My Jeep would have heart failure trying to haul that 1000 miles.
Dang I would love it if this thing lived in in Sanford. It is about 6000 pounds to tow though. Not exactly lightweight.
Strip the bed, bumpers, sheetmetal, interior and anything else you don't need, to reduce the weight. Not sure how much lighter it would get to though. It would make a good donor for Sanford for sure.
It's interesting the people you meet when you have a vehicle for sale like this. In addition to the usual dreamers and idle lowballers I met two guys that specialize in these trucks. One is local but couldn't justify my asking price - which he conceded I would probably get if I was patient and found the right buyer. The other turned out to be the owner of Burson's Dodge Garage, and he worked out a price via text ahead of time and came with a trailer ready to buy. He said he's been doing this since 2009 and in that time has bought 794 of these trucks. (Well, this one is # 794.) He's traveled as far as California to buy them. Mine just happened to be an hour away from his shop. I hope he does well with it. The truck was pretty used up but the drivetrain was still eager - it drove up onto the trailer just fine.
Oh yeah, and I cleaned some of the accident debris out of the bed to keep it from blowing out on the trip. In among the various plastic bits of car was the oil fill cap from the Malibu that hit the truck. That car must have been completely obliterated. Again - a 25 mph zone. I bet he was doing 50+.
Damn i just popped in to say I'll take it
