Exceptionally original, complete, stock, rust-free 1946 Dodge WFA32 (14,000lb GVW) one and a half ton farm truck with what we believe is very low original miles. This truck was bought along with several others by a buddy of mine. The plan was to use them as local advertising for a business venture that ultimately failed. It ran wonderfully and was driven locally as recently as late 2011. At that point he parked it and removed the radiator for a repair. Naturally the radiator was promptly stolen and the truck has sat, very well-preserved, in our dry, desert community since then. Currently, it's not a runner but could become one easily. And other than the radiator, this truck has all it's original parts.


The body is very impressive with the cab, doors, hood, inner/outer fenders and grill in excellent condition. As farmers do, it's been painted once (exterior only) eons ago. Even (especially?) with that, the entire truck has a beautiful patina that only 67 years of Mother Nature could create. Floorboards are rock solid with only surface rust (nature's protectant). And just to be safe, they have been treated. Cab corners are wonderful. Side and rear glass is good but front glass is cracked. It's easily fixable as it's all flat glass. Flat bed is period-correct and the vintage wood is still pretty decent.

In my opinion, the interior is stunning because of it's purity. Detail it thoroughly and it would be a Preservation Class show piece. All buttons, knobs, and switches are in place and have not been lost to history. Doors open and close properly; windows roll up and down. And again, floorboards (and kick panels for that matter) are rock solid. Even the upholstery has aged reasonably well.

The running gear was great as recently as late 2011; I have every reason to believe it still is. It has whatever Flathead 6 they came stock with, the original 4 speed manual transmission, and factory rear differential with Hi-Lo splitter (switch is on the shift lever - see pics). This truck still rolls and steers properly. Brakes used to work well but now go to the floor from sitting too long. Parking brake works well. Tires work okay as rollers but are old and cracked.

For the right person this is a great truck. I hope it finds an owner that will preserve her originality and patina. A beauty like this can be restored over and over but is only original once.

My name is Chris and I am happy to answer your questions. Please call me at 435-669-1470. I also have many additional pictures that show every nook and cranny. Send me your email address and I'll get them to you. The truck is located in the dry, desert community of Hurricane, Utah (about 100 miles north of Las Vegas). Good luck and good bidding.

Autoblog Podcast #317:

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan 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.
