This 53 is a Real Head Turner, attracts attention wherever it goes, not many Custom 53 Dodge B4B's out there, especially as unique as this one. This was built as a Pilot House Cab, but with a Low Side bed, which gives the truck a very unusual profile, add in the staggered wheels and tires and the truck has a Very aggressive stance. Most of the body work was completed around 1996, with some updates made around 1999 (Candy Ghost Flames), as well as powertrain changes. Originally a Farm Truck done in the typical two tone Red and Black with a flat head 6 with 3 spd manual, NOW done in Prowler Purple with a 318 V-8 with a 3 spd Auto (727) floor shift, front end has been changed to a Fat Man frontend with disc brakes and coil over suspension, rear suspension is original leaf style, but with an upgraded rear end courtesy of a 70's Charger. After I purchased the truck I made a change to the front Springs (needed more clearance), upgraded the wheels and tires, added dual exhaust, and had the whole interior re-done, adding a hidden STS Stereo, also added was Under Body Lighting (it will blink to the music, if you want) Of course this is all hidden as well. When the body work was completed, custom side boards as well as a custom rear valance were installed to finish off the look, The bed is the traditional Oak Plank, with about 7 layers of lacquer. Even after all this time the truck will still win paint awards, Our most recent award, it won the "Royal Purple" Award (May 2013).

As for Driving, the truck drives really well, surprisingly controlled for a short wheel base, the rear gears are 3.23 so not to aggressive, and NO you can't spin the rear Meats, change the gears if that's your thing. The engine does have a manual choke for those chilly mornings, but otherwise will start very quickly. You do have a Flaming River column with tilt wheel which is holding a Mahogany steering wheel (Real Beauty), Just replaced the original fuel tank (13gal) with a 17 gal due to some minor weeping, I guess after 61 years it was finally getting tired of just hanging around. One other thing you may notice in the under pics, its hard to tell whats up with the oil pan, but just so you know, the oil pan was modified to work with the Fat Man front end, it has a step in it, so just in case your wondering what your seeing that's it. There are a couple of small flaws in the finish, that don't show very well in photos, not sure why, but anyway, there are almost matching marks at the bottom front corners of both doors, its not rust because it hasn't changed in the just over 3 years I've owned the truck, the only other visible blemish is a touched up chip where the left butterfly opens past the center section, probably an adjustment issue that was later corrected.

Hopefully the Pic's can do some justice for this truck, but it truly is much better in person. I do kind of hate to see it go, but as any car guy knows, after a few years you find and move on to another project, and that exactly what's going on here. If I've missed any info, nick nacks, or tid bits just send me an email or call me (work), I'll respond as quick as I can. If you don't see a particular shot you want to see, let me know, I probably have it and can send it directly to your email.

The usual Ebay stuff applies - Being Sold AS-IS, Where is NO WARRANTY expressed or implied. You should have your money available before bidding, if you win you must pay. I can assist with loading if shipping needs arranged, but your responsible for arranging shipping, I have worked with a couple companies and can pass along their names if needed, Local pick-up is also allowed, and Local inspections are encouraged if you can, and weather permitting, Sorry the truck doesn't come out in bad weather, at least not while I own it.

FCA and Peugeot reportedly agree on merger

Wed, Oct 30 2019

Citing a Wall Street Journal report, the Detroit Free Press says "Fiat Chrysler and PSA Groupe have agreed to merge." The Journal reported on talks between the two car companies only yesterday. It's said that Peugeot's board met yesterday to approve the deal, FCA's board met today, and an announcement could come as soon as tomorrow, Thursday. Both automakers have released statements, but neither company has released any information beyond admitting to ongoing talks. If the merger happens, the combined entity would become the world's fourth-largest carmaker with a $50 billion valuation, slotting in behind Toyota, the Volkswagen Group, and the Renault Nissan Mitsubishi alliance. Among the merger options possible, "an all-stock merger of equals" is the one analysts and Moody's seem to give the best grade. The reported merger would come about four months after FCA walked away from merger talks with Renault. FCA said the French government scuppered those talks over the role of Nissan in a reformed entity, but there were also brewing issues with French unions, and ongoing turmoil among Renault and Nissan leadership thanks to continuing fallout from ex-CEO Carlos Ghosn's arrest last year. FCA makes most of its revenue in the U.S. and rules Italy, while Peugeot is the second-best-selling automaker in Europe with its own brand in France and Opel in Germany. The two companies already have a partnership in Europe making vans, one that FCA CEO Mike Manley has spoken highly of. Among the list of obvious benefits in a potential merger, FCA would get access to Peugeot's small, modern platforms, $10.2 billion in cash, and electrified and hybrid architecture developments, the latter especially important to FCA as those are fields where it lags. Peugeot would get much easier access to the U.S. market, and the money-printing brands Jeep and Ram. A merged carmaker would have combined sales of nearly 9 million a year, based on 2018 results. By comparison, both Volkswagen and Toyota sell over 10 million cars a year, while the Renault-Nissan-Mitsubishi alliance almost 11 million. Peugeot CEO Carlos Tavares has proved he knows how to do turnarounds and mergers. After leaving a position as Carlos Ghosn's right-hand man in 2012, Tavares took over Peugeot in 2014, navigated a bailout from the French government and China's Dongfeng Motors in 2015, and turned PSA into a regional powerhouse.

Weekly Recap: Things you might not know about the 2015 Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats

Sat, 16 Aug 2014

If you're an enthusiast, and you don't know that Dodge spawned another Hellcat this week, you really must have been living in cave. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat is probably the biggest news for enthusiasts since the reveal of, well the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat.
But, there are some things you might not know or might have missed about the new Charger and Challenger Hellcats. For starters, reports that the Hellcat production would be limited to a low volume are not true.
"We have not capped the Hellcat on either the Challenger or the Charger," Dodge CEO Tim Kuniskis said.

Dodge launches 1 of 1 Viper configurator

Fri, Apr 17 2015

Get comfortable because you might be spending a good chunk of time in front of the computer on this. The configurator for the 2015 Dodge Viper GTC 1 of 1 is now online, and it's a ton of fun to play around with. Mechanically, the GTC is just like every current Viper with a 645-horsepower, 8.4-liter V10. But for the special editions Dodge lets buyers tinker with practically everything aesthetic thing. For the exterior alone, the choices include some 8,000 available body colors, two stripe styles in innumerable shades, two hood designs and various brake caliper hues. Plus, there are 16 upholstery colors inside, and options like red seat belts and carbon fiber trim. Dodge reckons there are over 25 million possible combinations, and the models are available to customers on a first-come-first serve basis for each model year. Although, two people wanting identical cars seems pretty unlikely. The configurator is a beauty too. It makes all of these myriad options extremely easy to pick from, and there are even four resolution settings to see your creation in the best possible way. Prices for the GTC start at $94,995 and deliveries are set to start in the second quarter of the year. Although, even if you have no intention of buying one, specifying these custom coupes is still highly entertaining.
