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.

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

2014 Dodge Durango bows with eight-speed auto, updated looks [w/video]

Thu, 28 Mar 2013

Dodge has significantly updated its full-size Durango for the 2014 model year, giving the seven-passenger hauler a fresh look and a well-rounded boost of competitive features as it enters its fourth year in the showroom.
Cosmetically, it is hard to miss the revised front end with projector-beam headlamps and LED daytime running lamps, "floating" crosshair grille, a taller front bumper and a new lower fascia. The rear end of the facelifted Durango has been redesigned with the automaker's now-signature LED "racetrack" taillamps and resculpted rear fascia. All of the wheels are new too, with 18- and 20-inch options for each trim level with a variety of factory finishes.
Inside the cabin, buyers can select the automaker's latest Uconnect infotainment system with a full suite of infotainment features and connectivity accessed through an 8.4-inch touchscreen. Other optional goodies include a heated steering wheel, heated second-row seating and a Blu-Ray player capable of running unique programs on the twin individual rear monitors.

Junkyard Gem: 1990 Dodge Colt Vista

Wed, Oct 19 2016

The partnership between Chrysler and Mitsubishi started way back in 1971 and led to plenty of Mitsubishis being sold in the United States as Chryslers, Dodges, Plymouths, and Eagles (plus the use of Mitsubishi engines in all manner of Chrysler-built vehicles). The Colt name – used on a series of Galant-, Lancer-, and Mirage-based cars – became a fairly successful brand for Chrysler, and so it was slapped on Dodge- and Plymouth-badged Mitsubishi Chariots. The Colt Vista wasn't a huge sales success, and you won't see many today, but they had a certain following. Here's a rare '90 that I spotted in a Minneapolis self-service wrecking yard over the summer. Just 114k miles on this one, but the rust got pretty bad and that's the most likely culprit for its junkyardization. These cars made good family haulers, although you wouldn't find many of their 2016 counterparts sporting three pedals. Turbo Tom kept it going for quite a while, but rust never sleeps in Minnesota.
