1947 Dodge WDX Power Wagon. Built as restomod, built from frame off, needs engine and driveshafts and some minor finishing.

Title: Clean PA title
Driveline details: Set up for 360 Chrysler V-8 small block and A518 automatic overdrive transmission. Engine is NOT included. The A518 trans IS included. The transmission has 0 miles on professional rebuild by a local automatic transmission shop, all new wear parts, new torque converter for use with 360 engine, towing shift kit installed, deep sump transmission pan with drain plug installed. The transmission also has a kit installed to operate the overdrive without a vehicle computer. This truck has been retrofitted with Dana axles. Dana 60 front axle, Dana 60 rear axle, 4.10 ratio, disc brakes on the front axle, drum brake on the rear, new brakes all the way around, new wheel cylinders and hardware kits on rear brakes. I have the Warn hubs for the front axle, they just have not been reinstalled. Stock 1 3/4" leaf springs rebushed as needed with bronze bushings, new U-bolts and tie plates. This truck has 8 lug aluminum Vision 19.5" wheels on it with good tires. There is also an extra 19.5 wheel and tire for a spare that goes with the truck. The transfer case in this truck is a divorced NP205, 0 miles on professional rebuild, modified for twin stick operation so the original twin stick shifter can be used. Shifter mechanism is included, as well as motor mounts and transmission mount. So basically, bolt the transmission to a 360 engine, put the mounts on, and it all bolts in fast and easy. Exhaust system is already under the truck for use with small block Chrysler V-8 with stock manifolds.
Fuel system: This truck has a custom stainless steel gas tank built from dimensions of an original steel tank. Brand new VDO fuel sending unit, electric fuel pump not included, but mounting bracket is there under chassis, and a brand new Holley fuel pressure regulator is on the firewall.
Electrical system: Custom aluminum instrument panel, has new speedometer, fuel level, fuel pressure, voltmeter, amps, coolant temperature, oil pressure, oil temperature. There is also a brand new universal harness and fusebox kit installed. All wires are labeled to where they are supposed to go to simplify completion. It is setup with modern blade style fuses. There is also an MSD StreetFire capacitive discharge ignition box mounted in the cab as well as an MSD Blaster 2 coil mounted on the firewall. This system greatly simplifies the ignition wiring circuit, eliminates the need for a ballast resistor, and will work with the stock Chrysler Corp distributor. I will include all the lighting I have for this truck.
Brake system: This truck has been setup with a universal brake pedal kit as well as dual line power brake system. The brake booster is a 7" dual chamber vacuum booster and is rated for a 1 ton truck. It uses a 1 ton GM truck dual chamber master cylinder, also included. There is a Wilwood adjustable proportioning valve mounted on the firewall to simplify use and to fine tune braking bias as needed. All you need for the brake system is to make up the steel brake lines.
Interior: Custom diamond plate aluminum interior, needs very minor finishing but all there. I also have the original interior pieces from this truck that are in very nice shape. They can go with the truck if requested as I have no use for them. The seats are original bucket seats for a '78 Dodge Lil Red Express/Warlock. Very nice shape for original, not all tore up, just minor wear. Also included, overhead mounting box for CD player, floor mount emergency brake handle, aluminum floor pans, original transmission tunnel (floor and tunnel bolt in these trucks). Door glass is original and in good useable condition, rear window and gasket are brand new. The windshield frame was perfect with no rot, which is hard to find one in such good shape, it was bead blasted, repainted, brand new glass professionally installed and sealed, brand new windshield frame gasket, original regulator included, regulator still works.
Cooling system: This truck has a brand new aluminum radiator fitted to the original rad support for use with the modern engine. It has a Moroso inline fill neck, as well as a Zirgo 16" reversible electric fan, 3300cfm airflow. There is also an aluminum automatic transmission cooler mounted to the radiator.
Body: Body all done and painted except for the fenders. All sheetmetal was blasted before refinishing. The bed is not an original bed, but was fabricated from 1/8" plate to look like the original bed. It uses the original rear Power Wagon fenders, which are included. They are blasted to raw metal and are in excellent shape overall, would be very easy to finish for installation. The front fenders are also blasted clean with all mounts removed prior to blasting. All parts removed will obviously be included. The front fenders need patches in the bottoms like most Power Wagon fenders do, but it is also an easy fix. The inner fender panels are included and just need paint. The rest of the body is primed and painted Toreador Red, single stage urethane. Two small spots could need touched up on the bed, I have leftover paint I will include. Fabricated steel tailgate, skinned in aluminum diamond plate. Aluminum diamond plate bedrail covers and stake pocket covers. Diamond plate aluminum running boards, polished aluminum battery box.
I have other miscellaneous spare parts that go with this truck to aid completion. Basically, whatever else I have for the truck will be included. I will also include a brand new Saginaw counterclockwise rotation power steering box that is needed for power steering conversion if desired.
There was a lot of work in this truck to get it to this point. All the hard and dirty work has been done, I have just lost interest in the project. This is a very good deal for someone who wants to get into flatfender Power Wagons or someone who knows these trucks and is considering modifying one for everyday highway use. And anyone who knows these trucks knows what it costs to convert these trucks to disc brakes, V-8 upgrade, power steering, and whatever else to operate safely at highway speeds.

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected
Thu, Jul 8 2021MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.  Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected  At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
FCA issues recall for 300k Dodge Chargers over airbag sensor
Sun, Aug 2 2015Fiat Chrysler Automobiles has issued another recall, this time for the Dodge Charger. The issue stems from an overly sensitive control module that could deploy the side-curtain airbag and seatbelt pretensioner if the door is kicked or slammed too hard. The recall affects certain Charger sedans from the 2011-2014 model years, specifically those manufactured between May 6, 2010, and June 5, 2014. All told, that amounts to an estimated 322,078 units, including 284,153 in the United States, another 13,169 in Canada, 2,484 in Mexico, and 22,272 overseas. Owners of those vehicles will be asked to bring their vehicles in to their local dealers to have the Occupant Restraint Control module recalibrated, and are being advised in the meantime to "exercise caution when closing doors." If this issue sounds familiar, that's because the automaker issued a similar recall for Ram trucks just last week, affecting over 667,000 four-door pickups in the United States alone. Following a further investigation into its passenger cars, FCA found a similar problem with the Charger, whose door design mandated specific calibration of the module in question for that model. The company says it is aware of three minor injuries potentially related to the issue, but no accidents. This campaign is just the latest in a string of recall-related issues to have emerged from Auburn Hills recently. The Ram truck recall was issued in tandem with another airbag-related recall for a further million pickups. Prior to that it called in another 1.4 million vehicles to update their infotainment system software due to a security issue. Another 350,000 Dodge Journeys were called in before that to have their engine covers secured. The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is expected to issue the company a massive hundred-million-dollar fine for failing to follow proper procedures related to safety and recall issues. Meanwhile, another NHTSA investigation that could have affected 4.7 million units was closed with no further action deemed necessary. And an appeal court judge in Georgia reduced the damages the company will be ordered to pay the family of a child who died in a fire in a Jeep Grand Cherokee. Statement: Occupant Restraint Control Module August 1, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to recalibrate control modules on approximately 284,153 U.S.-market sedans to prevent inadvertent side-curtain air-bag and seatbelt pre-tensioner deployment.
