1951 Dodge "Job Rated" 1/2 Ton Pickup barn find
Plenty of Chevys and Fords but the Dodges are hard to find.
Make an awesome fenderless Rat Rod on a Dodge Dakota or S-10 frame maybe.
Flat head 6 with 3 speed manual. Engine seems complete with oil bath air cleaner and oil filter. The original honeycomb radiator and the heater show no signs of leaks, antifreeze is clean. Engine oil is clean.
Are you tired of working on a project that is rusted beyond repair then this is the truck for you. Southern vehicle, no salt damage!
The floors have some rust but could be patched and not totally replaced, the door bottoms have very little rust.
The cab corners are solid. The hinges don't sag.
The previous owner says the truck has been in a carport for several years and from the lack of serious rust it must have been protected from the elements most of it's life.
The truck has lots of dents that make it a perfect candidate for the Rat Rod treatment.
Has plywood as bed floor.
The original front suspension seems to be all intact and the manual steering box and steering seem tight.
I was told by the previous owner that he was driving it up to 2 yrs ago.
I didn't try to get the motor running but I did spin it over with a battery.
It has a new fuel pump and some brake work (some new steel lines, rubber hoses and appears master cylinder was rebuilt or new) by the previous owner. Brake pedal currently goes to the floor. The emergency brake works.
Original seat has good support and the original covers can be seen under a loose seam on the aftermarket seat covers. The original door panel cardboard is still in place and could probably be used as a pattern.
The front windshields and corner curved glass are not cracked. The side windows are all cracked.
All side glass mechanisms work. Doors open and close and latch.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included. Not sure but I think it has been converted to 12 volts.
There are four original 16" wheels (2 on the truck rear now), also have four 15" Mopar wheels to go with the truck. Standard Mopar 5 on 4/12" bolt pattern. All the tires are only good enough to load the car on a trailer.
Spare tire holder has one of the original 16" wheels.
I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.
Please contact Steve at 205-422-896seven with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $200 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.
Listed locally for $995, I reserve the right to cancel all bids if the truck sells locally first.
The State of Alabama does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. A bill of sale and tag receipt will be furnished.

Fiat Chrysler CEO says final merger talks with Peugeot going well
Thu, Jan 23 2020BRUSSELS — Fiat Chrysler's chief executive Michael Manley said on Wednesday that merger talks with Peugeot owner PSA to create the world's No. 4 carmaker are progressing well and he hopes to have a deal within 12-14 months. Speaking to Reuters on the sidelines of an industry meeting, he said he doesn't expect any major obstacles that could delay a final agreement. "Talks are progressing really well," Manley said about negotiations with the French carmaker ahead of a briefing by the European automotive association (ACEA), of which he is president. His comments come a month after the two carmakers agreed to a binding deal worth about $50 billion to combine forces in response to a slowdown in global demand and mounting costs of making cleaner vehicles amid tighter emissions regulations. Manley's timeline for completing the deal by early 2021 is in line with a forecast made by the companies in December. Fiat and Peugeot are now getting into the details of how the merger will work, including choosing which vehicle platforms — the technological underpinnings of a vehicle — will fit which products in a combined company. Because customers in different locations still prefer vastly different cars, there is room for multiple platforms in a combined group, Manley said. "That global platform is an elusive beast," he added. "This concept of a massive global platform in my mind is almost a myth, but that doesnÂ’t mean to say weÂ’re not going to recruit significant volume." Related Video:  Â
Chrysler almost smothered the Hellcat before it lived
Thu, 06 Nov 2014Chrysler's 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 was an absolute sensation from the very moment it was announced, and honestly, how could it not have been? Packing 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, its numbers immediately put every other production muscle car (and many supercars) to shame. Plus, we soon learned that would be wrapped in a package retailing for around $60,000 - a pittance compared to other vehicles offering similar grunt. However, the Hellcat almost never got the chance to rumble under the hood of the Challenger and Charger.
The Hellcat was initially proposed back in 2011, back when Fiat was deciding its future strategy for Chrysler Group, according to Automotive News. At the time, the company was just emerging from its bankruptcy doldrums, and an ultra-high-performance V8 wasn't exactly a must-have item. The program didn't move forward. However, SRT engineers kept fighting, according to AN, and four months later, they received the green light to pull the project off the shelf and continue developing the Hellcat. The muscle car world is certainly better for that decision.
The work of those engineers focused on taking Chrysler's standard 6.2-liter V8 and making it reliably handle all of the extra power from the supercharger. "It came down to micron levels of changes in the crank to be able to withstand the pressures of the engine," said Chris Cowland, director of advanced and SRT powertrain, to Automotive News. The changes amounted to switching out about 91 percent of the parts to make the Hellcat, including some quite minuscule alterations. For example, the washer holding the supercharger pulley is embedded with industrial diamonds to keep it from slipping.
Chrysler teases upcoming outlay of SEMA cars
Wed, 15 Oct 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is hauling a multitude of modified models to the annual SEMA show in Las Vegas this November, and the company is releasing the first teasing sketches of many of them.
Unfortunately, FCA isn't giving many solid details on any of the concepts other than saying the vehicles from Chrysler, Jeep, Dodge, Ram and Fiat all benefit from tuning from its Mopar performance brand. The teaser photos include a sinister-looking Chrysler 200S, Fiat 500 Abarth with two-tone paint and a scorpion on the hood, a red and black 500L, seemingly two different takes on the Jeep Renegade, a green Dodge Challenger wearing the T/A badge, an orange and black Dart, a very neon Charger, just the outline of a red and black Viper, a Ram ProMaster in Mopar livery and a Ram pickup called the Outdoorsman.
Take a look through the gallery to see what you think of the sketches for these concepts, and scroll down for the full announcement from FCA.
