Up for sale is a 1951 Dodge B3-F series flatbed dully truck. This is NOT a show truck, but is a ton of fun and fully functional.

This truck is in decent original shape...a good survivor. Original color appears to have been dark blue, but was painted orange/red at some point. Paint is in poor shape...and looks like it may have been brushed on?

I was told it had been used at a local mandarin ranch for many years hauling cases of oranges during harvest. The previous owner stated that within the last 2 years the truck received four new tires, a rebuilt carb, the brakes were gone through and the new flatbed undercarriage was constructed. I can't confirm this is true, but things all seem to be working and the tires are in good shape. The new flatbed structure appears well done and measures 12 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide. I have done no mechanical work on this rig aside from new engine oil and trans/differential fluid. Have driven it about 25 miles in the last year or so...always fires up and chugs down the road. 45 MPH is the max I've had it to...

Body is in OK shape...minor dents and dings. no major rust. The driver door seam is splitting and the door check is broken so the door overextends when open and is dented because of this. Minor rust on the floorboards...no rust through or major issues. Seat cover is newer and in good shape. Glass is all there and in OK shape. Headliner is falling down.

This is a 6 volt system that at some point in the past was converted from positive ground to negative ground. fuel gage does not work, but all others (Speedo, odometer, voltmeter, temp) all seem to function properly.

Truck runs very smoothly, but need some tuning on the carb...bogs a bit w/o the choke partly opened while driving. it has never overheated on me and does not really seem to leak any fluids to speak of.

many of the vent/air/heater pulls are frozen and would need some coaxing to get working. Electric wipers do work.

My research shows the truck has the following:

236 cu in flat 6 developing 109 horsepower. (Engine number: T3I4-9I47)

4 speed manual on the floor

GVW is 13500lbs

Comes with a clear California title and current California tags (just paid). The VIN on the title matches a metal plate near the drivers side cowl/firewall in the engine bay. The serial number on the removable data plate on the door jamb number does not match this VIN...but the data plate may not be original to the truck.

Please don't expect perfection or a vehicle with no quirks. It really could use some tinkering to make sure all the systems are up to speed and in good shape.

If you are the winning bidder, please plan for appropriate transportation of the vehicle to your location before committing to bid. This is a BIG truck and I would guess prices will be higher than normal. It is likely not practical to drive this home unless you are very close to the Sacramento area. Also, please note that this truck MUST be picked up within 2 weeks of a winning bid...no exceptions. I have to move it out...

Full payment within 3 days of a winning bid via cash in person, Paypal or certified check.

Any questions please ask...I've tried to tell all that I know about this fun old truck.

Vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thanks for looking...

40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax

Thu, 24 Jul 2014

The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.

We cruised Woodward in the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat [w/video]

Tue, 19 Aug 2014

We were definitely rock stars at the 20th edition of the Dream Cruise.
The yell came from somewhere in the crowd: "Hey Hellcat, push it!" We obliged with a jab of the throttle, and the 707 horses of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat roared to life. It went on like this. All weekend. It's one thing to attend the Woodward Dream Cruise, it's quite another to star in it.

Chrysler investing $20M in Toledo plant to support 9-speed auto production

Sun, 28 Apr 2013

In 2011, Chrysler announced a $72-million investment in its Toledo Machining Plant to modernize production of the eight- and nine-speed torque-converters for automatic transmissions made there. That upgrade work won't be finished until Q3 of this year, but Chrysler has already announced a further $19.6-million investment to increase production capacity for the nine-speeders.
The extra units will be necessary because the nine-speed transmission they'll be mated to is going into three popular models: it will debut on the 2014 Jeep Cherokee, then go into the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Dart. The company predicted that this year alone it would sell 200,000 units equipped with the nine-speed tranny, and it is spending some $374 million in addition to the investment in Toledo to upgrade production capacity for it.
The work attached to this new investment won't begin until Q3 of 2014, and it will be finished by the end of that year. There's a press release below with all the details.
