Due to a current hardship, I have decided that I need to sell my truck. This sweptline Dodge has been my favorite truck I have owned. It is much more rare than all of the Chevy and Ford trucks you see from the same year, and the look of the Dodge sweptline is so unique.  
It comes with a STRONG running 318 engine. It is not the original engine, but it is a beast.

The transmission was swapped far before I bought this truck, and it was changed from a 3 on the tree, to an automatic. When I bought the truck, it had a 904 transmission in it. I thought the transmission felt weak, so I bought a more stout 727 transmission for the truck. I have the 727 installed, but it needs the shift linkage and kickdown linkage installed. The transmission crossmember needs to be drilled to bolt the 727 transmission to it. Finally, the driveshaft needs to be shortened. I have 2 driveshafts that I will include with the truck. I have called a local driveshaft shop, and they quoted me $40 to shorten the driveshaft.

Overall, the body is in good condition. There is some rust in the floorboard areas that was patched with fiberglass before I bought the truck. There also is a small amount of rust at the very bottom of the doors and a small amount under the front lip of the hood and some in the bed. The fenders and rear quarter panels are good, the cab looks good, and the frame looks good.

I believe all lights are working on the truck except one of the lowbeams on the driver headlight.

I have 2 gauge clusters that will be included with the truck. I have noticed that the fuel gauge and battery voltage gauge either function intermittently or don't work. I have not tried to look into it yet, and I believe it is possible that the problem could just be wiring. I don't know the functionality of the other gauge cluster, but it looks good.

The paint looks great in the pictures, but it does have some sags and runs that need to be addressed.

Overall, this is a very unique, awesome truck that you just don't see around everyday. It has potential to either be restored, turned into a rat rod, or driven in its current condition (with final transmission hookups made.) I really hate to see it go. My wife and little girl even like it, but financially it would be a bad decision to keep it right now. I hope to see it go to someone who can drive and appreciate it. So, win the bid,  bring your trailer, and haul home a fantastic piece of history.

Chrysler recalling over 200k vehicles across its brands

Wed, 10 Apr 2013

With more than 200,000 units across six separate recalls and almost all of its brands, it appears that Chrysler has officially jumped headfirst into the recall pool this month. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has issued three official recalls for the automaker, and The Detroit News is reporting that the automaker itself has announced three more.
The biggest of the recalls applies to about 120,000 Dodge Charger, Dodge Challenger and Chrysler 300 models for 2011 and 2012 due to faulty wiring harnesses for the seat-mounted side airbags, which could lead to these airbags not deploying in the event of a crash. A little more than 60,000 two-wheel-drive versions of the 2007-2008 Dodge Nitro and 2008 Jeep Liberty SUVs are being recalled due to a heat shield that could cause the driveshaft to break, which if that isn't bad on its own, could then hit underneath where the airbag sensor is mounted, causing the airbags to deploy. Wrapping up NHTSA's recall notices, about 20,000 Jeep Patriot and Jeep Compass models for 2012 are also being recalled due to a problem with the fuel tank transfer tube that could lead to the vehicle stalling. The LX car recall campaign is going into effect this month, while the other two will start next month - all three notices are posted below.
In addition to the official NHTSA recalls, The Detroit News is also reporting that Chrysler is recalling more than 16,000 Ram trucks and a small number of Dodge Dart sedans. Around 6,500 2013 Ram 1500 trucks will be recalled due to an improper adjustment of the parking brake cable from the factory, while 7,000 Cummins-powered 2013 Ram Heavy Duty trucks are being recalled due to an engine cover that does not have as much heat resistance as it is supposed to. Finally, a total of 46 Dodge Dart sedans are being recalled due to a problem with the brake calipers and/or parking brake.

Big rig gets blown over on Wyoming freeway, flattens police cruiser

Sun, Feb 12 2017

A big rig navigating a stretch of windy Wyoming highway last week was blown over by high winds and landed on a Wyoming Highway Patrol cruiser. According to CBS News, three Wyoming Highway Patrol troopers responded to an accident along Interstate 80 near Elk Mountain on February 7. While the troopers were out of their cars assisting the crash victims, a white Volvo semi-truck lumbered up I-80 toward them. Wind gusts in that part of Wyoming were clocked in at up to 90 miles per hour on Tuesday, and one of them caught the semi as it neared the parked cruisers. Video from one of the cruiser's onboard cameras showed the big rig drift to the right as a big gust hit the trailer. Slowly, the whole rig tipped over and flattened one of the parked cruisers. The truck then slid a few feet on its side and came to a stop just aft of the cruiser. None of the troopers were injured in the incident, and two people in the truck came out of it unhurt as well. Patrol Lieutenant David Wagener told KGWN that that stretch of I-80 was closed on Tuesday to lightweight, high-profile vehicles. The truck driver was cited for the incident. High winds are no joke, and vehicles getting blown around or even clean off the road is a pretty common phenomenon. Way back in 2011, a truck got blown over in Utah. Then there was a train that got blown off a bridge in Louisiana in 2015.

Chrysler recalling 280k Dodge Ram 1500 pickups over axle seizures

Fri, Dec 19 2014

Following a June investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Fiat Chrysler Automobiles will be recalling 280,000 Dodge Ram pickups from model year 2005. The issue, NHTSA told The Detroit News, centered on a loose pinion nut, which could cause the rear axle to seize and, potentially, the driveshaft to detach. The affected vehicles were built between January of 2004 and August of 2005, while of the 280,000 trucks, only 257,000 were sold in the US market. According to The News, the recall will begin on February 13, and will see owners report to dealerships to have "a retention feature" added to the pinion nut.
