Barn find old Dodge Navy truck from a base in Northern California. Truck is complete less a couple items and is mostly unchanged and has only minor ham-handed damage.
Shows 45,500 original miles.
Has a 1950s Dodge engine in it. This was common, since the old ones let go quite a bit.
Will need a complete restoration. Was said to be running when parked. Not registered since 1956, included two original Ca. 1956 plates. Last driven about 20 years ago, was stored inside. Used on a ranch.
It has been a California truck all it's life. That is a good thing, for restoration.
This is an excellent winter project, most everything is here, and inexpensive rebuilding parts are available from many online suppliers.
The rare stuff--the seats, spare tire gear, engine crank, bed, tailgate, reflectors, etc. are all here.
Please look closely at the pictures, they tell the story.
The truck is not rotted at all and has only minor surface rust--no rust through, no thin metal. In other words, a perfect restoration candidate.
Missing--original coil, carb (has replacement carb), battery gone, glovebox door, glass, spare tire.
Cut off--the low skirting around the cab floor at the doors. This was commonly done.
The disclaimer: This truck, while an excellent restoration project and in great shape for what it is, shows the use and wear of it's 73 years of life. You can expect to see all sorts of wear, damage, surface rust and dents. This will need serious work. Please only bid on this truck if you understand that it is a fine old relic that will need extensive work, and that it comes without guarantees. Please come take a look or ask for more pictures. Just don't ask two hours before the auction closes.
I will not be taking returns on it. I am also not going to hide anything I know about it either, so ask questions before you bid.
The truck is located near Oakland, California, near San Francisco.
Sold with bill of sale and original pink from 1956.
Shipping is available from many online outfits. For example, I payed $1650 to have a truck shipped all the way across the states from the east coast. If you're closer, it will be much less.
I will meet the trucker and help load if you choose professional shipping. I can also deliver up to 500 miles for a fee.
Bid with confidence. This is a great old truck, a fairly easy restoration, and a perfect candidate for the job.
I will accept several form of payment. Bank transfer is best, cash in person is great also. Personal checks will take some time to clear, as will cashier checks and money orders. Best to expect two weeks for these. The truck will not be released until we are way, way sure the money order or check was not printed in someones garage.
25% is due within 48 hours of the auction close, the remainder in three days.
Please do not bid unless you have money-in-hand. I will not accept promises about the next paycheck.
The truck can stay here after full payment for up to 30 days, after that it needs to go.
Thanks for your interest.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing
Wed, Jul 15 2015Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.
Ranking Dodge's Charger Hellcat with the fastest sedans in the world
Thu, 14 Aug 2014
"This is a car that most brands would never bring to market." - Tim Kuniskis
Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis had reason to be confident, perhaps even a bit cocky at the reveal of his brand's newest halo car, the 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat. As he said simply, it's the "quickest, fastest and most powerful sedan in the world."
1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto 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.
