1958 Dodge W100 Power Giant restored to original condition. A ground up restoration was completed in 2011. I have included a photo of the chassis during the restoration process so you can see that it was media blasted, painted and the freshly rebuilt 6 cylinder engine. The truck is an early year production indicated by single headlamps.

Engine: 230 6 cylinder
Transmission: 3 speed column shift
Transfer case: NP 91000 2 speed
Chassis: 108" wheel base (shortbox)
Gear ratio: 4.89:1
Differentials: Spicer 44 front end and a Chrysler 8 3/4 rear end
Wheels: 17.5 x8
Paint: Original colors: Klondike Yellow and Sandel wood accent color
Radiator: Honeycomb style

Extra factory equipment: Inside rear view mirror, outside spare tire carrier, cigar lighter

Again this truck has been restored to original with exception to the wood bed. Originally that was pine wood painted black. I used oak wood and clear spar varnish, see photo. The battery is a reproduction of the original, with caps. Photo was taken when battery was out, battery does go with truck. The speedometer was not turned back, but only has about 300 miles on truck. Also the photos may vary in color, I used two different cameras and for some reason colors appear to be brighter on one.

1958 was the second year dodge came out with a civilian style four wheel drive truck for the public. This truck was originally intended to be a work truck, built very solid. With a gear ratio of 4.89 the top speed is about 45mph. This truck was originally a County Truck in Arizona, and sat in the desert for many years prior to my purchase of it. The body only had light surface rust, no rusted panels. I purchased it and began a complete restoration that took 6 years. Close attention was given to keep everything as it would of been from the factory.

The truck runs and drives great, Very fun to drive around you will get thumbs up and lots of people wanting to stop and talk about it. I have had so much fun showing this truck, great to show off a piece of our automotive history.

Has a clear Wisconsin title.

QB says University of Alabama offered him a Corvette to play football

Fri, 16 May 2014

The University of Alabama Crimson Tide football team could be in some hot water, following a pair of posts on social media.
The first post was sure to raise a few eyebrows on its own. It's an Instagram of sophomore running back Derrick Henry standing in front of his new Dodge Challenger (we're guessing it's an R/T based on the fender stripes). Complete with a custom set of wheels, the image was enough to trigger more than a few questions about where an unemployed student-athlete came up with the money for such a purchase. Now, this could be harmless. Henry, flush with a full-ride to Bama could have convinced his parents to get him something nice with his college fund.
The second post, though, is a straight-up accusation. It comes from former West Virginia Mountaineer and current CFL quarterback Pat White, who posted the following on his Facebook page.

Toyota, Lexus dominate KBB's Best Resale Value Awards

Tue, 19 Nov 2013

Toyota and Lexus stormed the 2014 Kelley Blue Book Best Resale Value Awards, winning a combined 18 categories including best brand and best luxury brand. This marks the third year in a row that both automakers have won the Brand and Luxury Brand resale value awards. In all, Toyota won 11 categories and Lexus won seven.
Honda made a good showing, as well, winning two segments (Accord Plug-In Hybrid and Civic Si) and putting one car on the top-10 Best Resale Value list (CR-V). Chevrolet did even better, winning two segments (with the V6 Camaro and the Corvette) and placing three cars on the top-10-overall list (again, the Camaro and Corvette, plus the Silverado 1500).
The other winners came from Jeep, Dodge, Infiniti, Subaru and Audi. To give you a clearer picture of the Toyota and Lexus domination, their 18 mentions represents more than half of the 34 awards (including the top-10-overall list).

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup

Fri, 18 Jul 2014

Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
