Beautifully Restored Dodge B3 C116 Pickup with Pilot House cab. This is the 3/4 ton model with longer 116" wheel base. Flathead six cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission. This truck was purchased on July 1, 1952 at Sidlow Motors in Dan Bruno California. The story told to me when I purchased it 2.5 years ago is that it was originally used as a grocery delivery vehicle in San Francisco Bay area and retired from use in the late 1960's with very few miles. The truck was then purchased by a gentleman who lovingly restored and maintained it over the next 40 or so years. When that owner passed away the truck was sold by his widow to a dealer and my father and I purchased the truck from him.
The first year that we had the truck it was received at much enthusiasm at the 2012 Art of the Car Concours in Kansas City, one of the more prestigious shows in the Midwest. We have continued to maintain the truck and make improvements as necessary. Minor leaks the engine block and rear end have been repaired. New rear brake lines and wheel cylinders. New radiator recently installed. New battery last year. The Pilot House pickup was considered to be a revolutionary design when it was first introduced in 1948. It offered a larger cab and greater visibility with its rear corner windows which had not previously been seen on either Ford or Chevy models. These trucks continue to have an avid group of enthusiasts. Still, this is not a truck that offers a lot of creature comforts by today's standards. The stock model like this one included no heater or radio and no revisions have been made to include those here. This truck has the original instrument cluster. Speedometer and ammeter work, temperature and fuel gauges do not. Windshield wipers and lights work. Truck is cold blooded but runs like a top when warmed up. A small amount of play in the steering is one issue that we have not addressed, but it is insignificant in my opinion. We looked at a lot of trucks before purchasing this one and I can tell you that it is a beautifully maintained piece of pickup truck history. If you have any questions that aren't answered in my description or the photos, please let me know. |

Dodge Charger Pursuit nets quickest lap in police car test
Mon, 30 Sep 2013We wouldn't advocate trying to outrun the police, no matter what you're driving and no matter what they are. But if you see a Dodge Charger bearing down on you with blue lights flashing in your rearview mirror, you'd better think twice before attempting to flee, because the Charger Pursuit has once again emerged as the fastest police cruiser out there.
In the latest Police Vehicle Evaluation held by the Michigan State Police at Grattan Raceway, Dodge says its new Charger Pursuit AWD posted a lap time of 1:33.85. That's quicker than any of the other law enforcement vehicles present, but also makes it the quickest all-wheel-drive cruiser available to law-enforcement officials. That may not make it the quickest of all time, but that honor belongs to the rear-drive Dodge Charger Pursuit, which cuts a fraction of a second off its AWD counterpart's time with a 1:33.70. But in regions where the extra traction could come in handy, that's as negligible a difference as we've ever seen.
Of course, the annual PVE sessions held by the Michigan State Police take in to account a wide variety of performance tests, including top speed, acceleration, braking, handling, fuel economy and ergonomics. The MSP has yet to reveal its full findings from its 2014 model year tests, but we'll be sure to bring them to you when they are published.
Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines
Fri, 16 Nov 2012Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat
Wed, 29 Oct 2014Including all-wheel-drive models, there are ten versions of the 2015 Dodge Charger. The tenth variant - better described as the ten-tenths variant and the topmost model - is this Charger SRT Hellcat.
Superficially, you already know what it is: take the massively powerful Hellcat engine that's Frankensteined into the Dodge Challenger and stitch it into the recently facelifted Charger sedan.
Oh, but that would be superficial knowledge indeed. Russ Ruedisueli, vehicle line executive and head engineer for SRT, claims the Charger Hellcat is, "The industry's most irreverent four-door supercar." We looked up the word "irreverent" in the Oxford dictionaries, and it turns out the word doesn't mean "707 horsepower," nor "650 pound-feet of torque" nor "3.7-second 0-60 time, and seats five adults." It does mean, "Showing a lack of respect for people or things that are generally taken seriously."
