"Flatbed trucks are one of the most versatile vehicles on the road
today. With their open, level platform and lack of sides or a roof,
flatbeds haul oversized, heavy, or irregularly shaped cargo that
simply won't fit inside a traditional box truck. The open design
allows for easy loading and unloading from all angles-side, rear,
or even overhead via crane or forklift. This open design makes
flatbeds an ideal choice for transporting construction materials,
large equipment, palletized loads, and agricultural products."

For consignment, a 1989 Dodge W250 LE 4x4 flatbed pickup truck
showing 211,004 miles, but the true miles are unknown.Here's a
heavy duty flatbed powered by a Cummins turbo diesel, ready to take
on your toughest hauling challenges!
Exterior
Not your everyday combination, two stage Violet Metallic sandwiches
Charcoal Gray Metallic on the body of the truck, augmented by the
Ram hood ornament and a Lund visor over the windshield. The
bi-colored truck is also delineated with stainless trim that
borders the gray and a band of black molding below it. Side steps
and wide mirrors complete the front as we turn our attention to the
diamond steel bed with a back rack and mud flaps attached. It shows
a bit work induced patina but is a solid structure. 16-inch wheels
hold LT245/75R16 tires with an early 2023 date code. Imperfections
include some minor scratches in the paint, some fading of the black
inserts of the grille, a small ding on the fender where it meets
the hood and a gap issue, and some minor inclusions.
Interior
Red velour, maroon plastic, and dark red carpet makes up the door
panels and both show a touch of wear with scratches and fading. The
same could be said about the red cloth bench seat with ornamental
strips of oxblood vinyl and the driver's side has witnesses some
time with tears, fading, and wear. In contrast, the passenger side
looks barely used. Black tape and a cover have extended the life of
the standard steering wheel and woodgrain adorns the handsome
dashboard a black plastic rings surround the gauges. Closer to the
center, you have the Cummins branded information center, the A/C
panel, and a Realistic AM/FM/Cassette radio barely holding on. Our
dash pad has seen accessories come and go and the remnants are
there while the red carpet on the floor is pretty good and
surrounds the range selector. The headliner would be right at home
in Sag Harbor and could use a refresh.
Drivetrain
Dodge's venerable 5.9 liter Cummins Turbo Diesel is under the hood,
rated at 160 horsepower and fuel injected. It's mated to an A727
Torqueflite 3-speed automatic that routes power to a Dana 70 in
back and Dana 60 in front. Power steering, power brakes, and air
conditioning are on board and the bay presents in driver quality
aesthetic conditions.
Undercarriage
Soot, surface rust and patina are all accounted for on the solid
underside with some residual oil as well. Leaf spring suspension is
utilized front and rear and brakes are split between power disc up
front and power drum in back. The single exhaust lacks a muffler
and exits just above the hitch receiver in back.
Drive-Ability
The engine starts with that familiar diesel sound and a bit extra
from the exhaust as we roll this rig onto the tarmac. It runs fine
and tracks straight on newer tires. We note the passenger window
goes out of track and needs help on its way both up and down, the
power locks, A/C, and radio are not working. All other functions
operate as they should. While Classic Auto Mall represents that
these functions were working at the time of our test drive, we
cannot guarantee these functions will be working at the time of
your purchase.
Here's a � ton truck that's ready for work, but you could also put
your ragtime band or quartet on the back for the Memorial Day
parade or party event! Lots of possibilities here but if you've
