 this is a sweet truck i built it 2 years ago and am now moving and need to sell. yes this truck is has a 1986 mercedes benz om617 5 cylinder diesel engine in it. the conversion was done with a professionally made adapter plate. it has a 2-3 inch old man emue spring lift. a 3 inch body lift. goodyear kevlar wangler 33x12.5 in tires with less than 5000 miles on them. awesome tires and very low road noise. it has a fours speed manual tranmission  the body was sandblasted and then rhyno linned everywhere on the exterior. there was some fender rust in the rear repaired before this was done. i want to be as honest as i can about the truck. i love this truck and drive it every day. its top speed is about 75. i drive it comfortably on the high way at 65. it gets about 15-18 mpg. it has straight pipe on it thats 3 inches. it not really loud but it is also not quiet. you can really hear the turbo spool. when driving on highway in hills it wont stay at 65 55 in third all day but not 65 in fourth. there is no frame rest except behind rear tires. its behind where the rear leaf springs attach. there is a few inches where you can see through the frame in the middle. i did not have this fixed because it is behind where the frame is doing anything.
 please look at the pictures and feel free to call me with any questions. 574 453 1447 i am a huge mercedes diesel fan and have owned 25+ the motor that was installed is a a 1986 that had 160,000 miles in it when installed. it has excellent compression. it has monarch fuel injectors installed. 
two sets of differentials this is the complete third member. right now i have a 4.11 in the rear and a 3.73 in the front. and no i dont ever use 4x4 this way. it is easy to swap rear back out to 3.73 which i do in winter. and for light offroading i have done in the truck. the 4.11 is better for on road driving in 2 high. you cant do whatever you want.
one last thing. if below 25 or so at night truck has a hard time starting. not because the glow plugs are bad but because the toyota starter doesnt have same torque as mercedes one. it does have a block heater and it will start in negative 10 as cold as it got here, without a problem. if this is a big issue you can install a mean green starter which will solve the problem. 

also included in the auction if you want it. you do not have to take but you can if you want.
extra 1986 om617 complete motor for parts or whatever.
intercooler and piping for hook up
california style intake manifold which makes installing inter cooler easy. i have done same swap on a toyota truck. and inter cooler helped with power on highway.
extra top rear hatch  frame. with window installed 
box of extra lights for most on truck
extra front grill
and whatever i am forgetting

this is a no reserve auction
