1946 Dodge Truck 1/2 Ton / Restore-able Condition 68 Yrs Old on 2040-cars
Hartford City, Indiana, United States
|
Restore-able Condition! Truck is about 98% complete of original parts. I regret selling this truck after owning it since 1970. I have recently retired and don't have the finances nor desire to put it back on the road. If this truck was restored properly, it would be worth about $15,000.00.
It has the original flat head 6, with new spark plugs. Most trucks that you see for sale on Ebay are missing or have replacement parts. This truck is about 98% original. The brass topped honey combed radiator is original, as well as the carburetor, oil bath breather, trumpet horn (still works), oil filter canister. The body is in pretty good condition considering the truck is almost 70 years old! It has dents, dings and a few rust holes in it. Please refer to pictures, as I have tried to show the flaws and things that will have to be dealt with. The windshield was replaced in the 80's and the glass is in great condition. Both side doors however are cracked and need replaced. The cab is in pretty good shape with the exception to an area above the windshield, that is rusted. (see pictures). Wooden 2 piece floorboard has been replaced. Original heater used to work (paper duct tubes are rotted away). Bench seat needs repair and is missing a lot of horse hair on the drivers area. Springs are still good. Truck bed has a 1/8 " steel plate spot welded in. To my surprise, looking from under the truck, the original wooden bed still seems to be good! The tailgate is bolted in place. The drive train is all original, Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out Bearing, Propeller Drive Shaft (needs leather boots), 3 Speed Transmission all good. The left headlight bowl has been replaced with a slightly smaller one (I have the matching smaller bowl that will go with the truck). I also have an original Dodge Shop Repair Manual that I will go with the truck. (This manual covers practically everything, even adjusting the pitch of the sound of the horn). This truck presently DOES NOT RUN. It has compression, spark to the points, new spark plugs, but probably needs new plug wires? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck, Happy Bidding |

Roadkill pits every project car against each other
Sat, 22 Feb 2014The guys behind Motor Trend's monthly Roadkill series have collected nine of their favorite project cars from their videos and pitted them against each other in a battle royale to determine a winner. It's 44 minutes long, but it's completely worth the investment of time.
The cars run the gamut from a 1973 Chevrolet Ramp Truck, a 1975 AMC Pacer and a legitimately impressive 1967 Chevy Camaro, and they are pitted against each other to see which is the fastest around an autocross course. The drivers include Roadkill's two hosts and Motor Trend's Johnny Lieberman and Carlos Lago. It's reminiscent of the best episodes of Top Gear and worth a watch.
So it's the weekend - the perfect time to relax. Grab your preferred beverage, get comfortable and enjoy 44 minutes of some seriously ratty but utterly cool project cars as they are throttled within an inch of their lives (or past it). Scroll down to check out the video.
Chrysler recalling 49K Chargers for headlight components
Fri, 14 Mar 2014Chrysler has issued a recall for about 49,375 2011 and 2012 Dodge Chargers with halogen headlamps due to a problem with the lights. The automaker says that there could be an issue with the jumper harness and other related components.
The automaker says that 43,450 cars are affected in the US, 2,850 in Canada, 375 in Mexico and 2,700 outside of North America. The vehicles will have their headlight assemblies, including the jumper harnesses and bulbs, inspected and potentially replaced. Dodge says that its engineers investigated reports of that were similar to what was found when it recalled about 10,000 police Chargers in 2012 for overheating light components. There have been no injuries or accidents related to fault, according to Chrysler.
The automaker will be in contact with affected owners, and schedule the service. Naturally, any repairs will be free of charge. Scroll down for the company's full announcement.
Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production
Sun, 28 Apr 2013In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
