BODY & COSMETICS
The truck received a professional paint job a few years back in Viper Red since at the time the Lil' Red color was unavailable and this is the closest shade to match the original paint color. The paint job is still in great shape and clean and shiny.  There is one scratch along the lower rear fender on the passenger side right at the bottom of the fender. The exterior wood on the bed was also replaced at the same time and still presents very well. The driver's side floor was also replaced at that time with a reproduction exact fit floor pan. It was professionally removed, welded and seam sealed back in and then painted black. The bed has been recently restored/replaced with all original boards removed and used as templates for new oak boards which were then coated in marine grade varnish on the top and bottom to protect them. A chrome plated stainless steel strap and carriage bolt kit was used to bolt down the planks to fasten everything up and it looks great. New chrome plated tailgate chains were also installed. They have clear plastic protective sleeves on them as well.
Undercarriage of the truck is in good condition. No rot.  Some frame surface rust but no holes at all. This truck was either dealer or factory undercoated which protected and preserved the undercarriage. 
The original "Astro" wheels are in fair condition. They were known for surface rust. These do have some but again they are the original wheels. The rear BF-Goodrich tires are in like new condition. The front tires have about 70% tread on them. I also have the original full size matching spare with original Goodyear tire. 
INTERIOR:
The interior is in very good condition. The padded dash is in great shape with no cracks. All gauges work. The original radio is not working. Lighting is in good working condition. Head lights (hi/low beams), tail lights, turn signals all working. The seats were reupholstered some years ago in a simple plain black vinyl covering. Drivers side is developing a small crack along edge where you slide into the seat when entering the truck. The carpet has been replaced. The only item that could use replacement is the door rubber weatherstripping. It is old and has dried out and cracked in spots.

Fiat-Chrysler shows its SEMA lineup

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles already previewed its 2014 SEMA show lineup with some slick renders. Now, the automaker has finally showed us the actual cars, and among the group there are definitely some that stand out more than others.
Dodge is really showing off its muscle at this year's show with four concepts that all pump up the power of the brand's models. Perhaps most interesting among them is the Challenger T/A Concept (pictured above) in striking Sublime Green and matte black. It's meant to resemble the classic Trans Am racer from the '70s. Under the hood is a 6.4-liter V8, and to fit the vintage style there's a pistol-grip gearshift inside.
The Charger R/T also gets some attention with the Mopar concept that shows off what FCA's aftermarket performance arm can do. Mods include an updated body kit, cold-air intake for the 5.7-liter V8 and a coil-over suspension kit. Beyond that, the Dart R/T Concept looks a lot meaner with a black hood with duct work that leads straight to the air intake. The rest of the compact sedan is dolled up in O-So-Orange paint and is fitted with upgrades to improve handling like a coil-over suspension and big brake kit from the Mopar catalog.

Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived

Thu, 06 Nov 2014

Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
