Up for sale is a 1968 3/4 ton 4-speed vintage Power Wagon with factory LU2 Braden PTO winch.  The truck is equipped with Dana 44 front axle and Dana 60 rear.  I bought this truck from the 2nd owner.  They bought the truck in 1970 and was used on their ranch in Elbert, Colorado.  When they bought the truck, they had Dodge install the Braden winch.  The truck was originally a 318 V8 but was replaced with a big block 400 in the 80's.  The truck had been sitting for quite a few years before I purchased it.  I put in a new starter and the engine runs very good; does not smoke and holds great oil pressure ( 80 psi).  Obviously, it will need tune-up parts, gas tank and lines flushed.  The engine has an old school Offenhauser intake manifold and Holley 4-barrel carb.  Brakes and hydraulic clutch will need work (I can bleed brakes and clutch to move the truck).  Unfortunately, when the big block 400 was put in the truck, they did not put the pto drive shaft for the winch back on the truck and was miss-placed a few years later and was lost.  I do have the drive unit that mounts to the transfer case but no pto shaft and no lever to engage the drive unit (see pics).  The pto drive shaft can be made along with the lever.  This Power Wagon has the usual cab rust that these trucks have.  The rockers, floor boards and three of the cab mounts (driver's side, rear cab mount is good and solid) have rust - nothing to extreme.  The fenders, doors, cowl, firewall, radiator support and frame rails are all rust free.  For the trucks age the body is nice and straight.  The only sizable damage is the passenger fender and is definitely repairable.  All glass is remarkably in very good condition for its age.  This truck had an old flatbed on it that I took off and scrapped.  So as you can see in the pics, there is no bed.  There are still plenty of 2-wheel drive D100's and D200's parts trucks out there, and a bed can be obtained.  This is a very good foundation for a nice restoration project on a truck that is getting very hard to find.  I hate to sell this truck, but I have to finish another project that is close to completion.  I will be answering any emails in the evening.  I reserve the right to end the auction at any time.  Please don't ask what the reserve is; it is very reasonable.  If you like the truck, please just bid.  I will accept Pay Pal only if the buyer agrees to pay the Pay Pal fees; otherwise cash on pickup.  $200. deposit due within 48-hours after end of auction.  Thanks for looking.

2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication

Tue, 28 Oct 2014

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.

Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars

Wed, 15 Oct 2014

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
