1936 Dodge Pickup on 2040-cars

Year:1936 Mileage:99999

Location:

Saint Petersburg, Florida, United States

Available for sale is my 1936 Dodge Brothers Pickup. I bought this truck back in 2007 from a friend in Kentucky. My friend drove the truck down to Florida to visit his Cousin, where I first saw it. I expressed an interest in it, so when he decided to sell it, he called me and I took a trailer up to Kentucky and purchased it. I had the intention of turning it into a nostalgia old style hotrod truck. I drove it a few times after I bought it and the engine ran really nice, but the brakes were marginal at best, and the front suspension needed some work, so I stored it away in my Daughters garage. While it was hibernating, I purchased a '56 Dodge 241 hemi motor and had it professionally rebuilt for the truck. Understand though, the hemi motor is not included in this sale, only the truck as it sits. The hemi motor is available, but at a considerable additional cost. I may be willing to negotiate a price on the whole package if interested. The truck is basically as I bought it, with the exception that I removed the door windows because they had cracks in the glass. My two Grandsons like to sit in the truck and pretend driving, and I didn't want them getting cut. I did purchase new window glass, and also a new power window setup for it, and will include that in the sale, but they have not been installed. There is a dent in the right of the cab top. It occurred before I bought the truck. My friend said he accidentally dropped his cordless drill from his house roof, and it hit the truck. The dent has good exposure from the inside, so it shouldn't be too hard to persuade it out with the right body tools. I really wanted to build this truck, but I got involved in another car I purchased, and have been concentrating on it since. The car is close to completion, but I don't think I have the energy anymore to take on this truck. The pictures I have included tell the story, but I will answer any questions you may have. I am confident with a little work the engine will fire up. It ran well the last time I drove it, so with a little cleaning up, an oil change and some fresh gas it should be good to go. This would be a real nice project for someone with a little skill and patience. This truck has a clear fresh Florida Title.

It appears some questions by interested parties, and the associated answers haven't shown up at the bottom of the listing, so I will include additional information on the truck. The straight axle front end was replaced by a '79 Ford Ranchero front frame clip forward of the firewall. The rest of the frame is original. The front frame clip uses the Ranchero drum brakes as well. I'm not 100% sure, but it may very well be that the motor and transmission, and even the rear end all came from the same chopped up Ranchero. That being the case, apparently the last year of the 289 was 1968, and so the engine may be a 302. The transmission is a 3 spd auto, whatever was a common match for the engine. Drum brakes again on the rear. I believe 14" Crager Mags on the front, and 15's on the rear. My build was going to toss the frame and marry up with an S10 long bed frame which is within 2" of the original 114" wheel base. I have the frame. if the buyer wants it, he can take it when he comes for the truck. Understand, the truck is as I bought it. I didn't morph the frame or do the engine swap. If I think of anything else, I'll add the information. Any questions, just ask.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel

Mon, 10 Mar 2014

Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.

Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser

Sun, Feb 12 2017

A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Real-life Bravado Banshee from Grand Theft Auto up for sale

Sun, 01 Jun 2014

Remember the Bravado Banshee that West Coast Customs built last year to promote Grand Theft Auto V? Given away by GameStop, the woman who won it says she's better off with money to send her two kids to college than with a race car, so now you can steal buy it on eBay.
Based on a 2006 Dodge Viper SRT-10, every exterior panel was redesigned to match the Banshee, and the red embroidered badging inside won't let you forget it. There's still that V10 up front that can make some kind of racket, and a SEMA-worthy stereo filling the entire trunk to make a different kind of racket. Oh, it's also got hood struts that have crapped out, so you'll notice the hood is held up with a wooden rod.
The auction ends on June 5, and you can make an offer or hit the Buy It Now button and hand over $170,000. Might be time to change the outfit and run a few jobs for some quick cash.
