1951 Dodge Power Wagon M37 Modern 4x4 Chassis 5.9 FI, O/D Auto, All Pwr, A/C

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this very unique 1951 Dodge Power Wagon for your consideration.  This beast draws a crowd everywhere you drive it.  With the modern drivetrain, you can literally drive this truck anywhere.  Professionally built and upgraded, you will be impressed with the workmanship.  This truck was built with hundreds of labor hours invested along with a substantial financial commitment.

 

Body and Paint

 

The original 1951 M37 Power Wagon body has been professionally mounted on a modern chassis (1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4).  The truck has really decent paint and retains some of the “patina” that developed over the years.  It really fits the truck.  It has rock solid floors and bed.  Every panel fits up right and the doors open and close as they should.  The hood does have some cracking due to filler, but it is mostly covered up with the military star acetate.  It sports a canvas top that is in good condition and fits well.  All glass is in great shape and new weather stripping has just been installed.  A custom grill was made for the front, along with a heavy duty bumper and Warn winch.  The exterior presentation of this Power Wagon is outstanding. 

 

Drivetrain/Engine/Trans

 

The 1998 Dodge Ram chassis was professionally shortened a few inches to fit the correct wheel base.  The 5.9 gas fuel injection engine performs flawlessly.  The engine is stock and only has a performance air cleaner and performance muffler installed.  The automatic overdrive transmission shifts through the gears as it should.  The truck retains all of the modern accessories from the 1998 Dodge, which makes the truck a great driver.  Power steering, Power brakes, and it even has heat and AC.  The transfer case and 4wd system all works as it should.  All of the front suspension components are new, and the truck drives great in town or at 75 mph on the highway.  No tire noise, vibrations, road walking or driveability issues.  It absolutely drives like a newer truck.  No leaks, funny noises or any other issues.  The engine operates cool even on 100 degree Texas days with the a/c running. 

 

Interior

 

This Power Wagon has original seats (recently recovered) and original dash.  The gauges have been upgraded to modern VDO gauges and everything works.  A Vintage Air compact under dash heat and a/c unit has been installed for driver comfort.  Even with the soft top, the a/c gets ice cold and heat works great.  The Dodge Ram steering column and steering wheel were used in the conversion, along with the ECU and OBD port.  The Ram 4wd shifter was retained.  All lights, switches and electrical components work. 

 

Tire and Wheels

 

This Power Wagon comes with 15 inch steel Pro Comp black wheels and brand new Toyo Open Country MT 37x14.5-R15 tires around.  These radials allow for a quiet and great driving truck and have less than 100 miles on them. 

 

Overall

 

This Power Wagon is an incredible vehicle.  The professional chassis/drivetrain swap makes this a great driver.  I have literally been driving it every day and it is very enjoyable to drive.  It has plenty of power, awesome 4wd capability, and great looks.  It would make and ideal hunting vehicle.  Absolutely no disappointments here, and you can fly in and drive it home any distance.  We have a Georgia bill of sale with the original VIN (non-title state) and the clear title for the donor 1998 Ram, so it can be titled either way depending on your state’s requirements.

Are you the Dodge Dart SRT4?

Tue, 08 Jan 2013

Dodge has just confirmed that it will be bringing its newest Dart variant, the Dart GT, to Detroit next week, but we're still in the dark about when we'll see a truly hotted-up SRT4 version. But now, by way of the rumormill anyway, we've got at least one proposed, potentially Dodge-based rendering to light our way.
Seen here is what would appear to be a design sketch of the SRT4 Dart. Obviously the image that has surfaced is of rather low-resolution, but there's at least some evidence to support that it may be legitimate. In the original picture, one can just make out the name Tim Doyle in the lower right corner. As it turns out, Tim Doyle's name is also watermarked on the final design image for the 2011 Dodge Durango Citadel Black & Tan, a model that was shown at SEMA in 2010.
Of course, even if this really is the work of Doyle, there's nothing to say that this image isn't one of a great many potential looks for the future SRT4. In fact, the departure of the cross-hair grille from the Dodge's nose seems like it could be a hard sell, though we do, naturally, dig the sleek hood scoop and the bulked up wheel/tire combination.

Dodge Challenger R/T Shaker and Mopar '14 Challenger up the retro appeal

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

The reborn Dodge Challenger might be getting a bit long in the tooth, having been on the market in its current form since 2008, but Chrysler isn't going to give up on its brutish, full-size two-door just yet. For this year's SEMA Show, the Challenger will be getting a new Mopar edition, as well as a retro-cool shaker hood on the 5.7-liter, Hemi-equipped R/T models.
As we mentioned last night, the Shaker Package will cost $2,500, but includes the Super Track Pak (new steering rack, brake linings, upgraded shocks and 20-inch Goodyear Eagle F1 Super Car tires), a $595 option on its own. The shaker hood result in a performance bump of any kind, but the blacked-out, pop-up scoop is a nifty feature that hasn't been seen on a production car since the Ford Mustang Mach 1 in the early 2000s.
The Mopar '14 Challenger (pictured right) follows the cues of previous Mopar Editions, which have included the 2010 Challenger, 2011 Charger, 2012 300 and 2013 Dart. Only 100 Mopar '14 Challengers will be produced, and they'll include the new shaker hood, Mopar's distinctive blue graphics and wheels, and whatever is pilfered from the accessory catalog.

FCA's shifter fiasco proves novel gear selectors are a bad idea

Tue, Feb 9 2016

What's wrong with PRNDL? Why are automakers trying to overly complicate the simple task of selecting gears? If there's any lesson to learn from the recent news that NHTSA is investigating 853,000 Fiat Chrysler vehicles over its problematic gear selectors, it's that the trend of fancy shifters needs to stop. Now. Last year, NHTSA opened an investigation into Jeep Grand Cherokee models, and has now expanded this probe to include the 2012-14 Chrysler 300 and Dodge Charger. The problem? The shifter – assembled by ZF – is confusing for many drivers. "Testing ... indicates that operation of the (electronic) shifter is not intuitive and provides poor tactile and visual feedback to the driver, increasing the potential for unintended gear selection," a NHTSA document states. More than 100 crashes and over a dozen injuries are linked to this problem, according to The Detroit Free Press. To us, the problem isn't just limited to FCA. These unnecessarily novel gear selectors are spreading like wildfire across the industry. Honda and Acura use a weird pushbutton setup. Lincolns have buttons on the dashboard. Jaguar's shifter electronically raises out of the center console. Mercedes uses a stalk with up-for-Reverse, down-for-Drive, push-for-Neutral arrangement. And what the hell is BMW thinking with its M cars? FCA has since abandoned the confusing shifters in question. The 300, Charger, and Grand Cherokee now use the rotary shift dial that's quickly proliferating across the company's brands. Simplistic gear selectors might not be sexy, but no one ever complained about not being able to find the right gear in a Hyundai Sonata. What's most interesting is that this NHTSA investigation could push FCA – and possibly other automakers – to redesign vehicle functions that otherwise operate as designed. Just because most people will never have a problem putting a Dodge Charger in Reverse doesn't mean there isn't a flaw with the design. But perhaps a more simplistic solution – good ol' PRNDL – would have prevented these issues from the start.
