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.

Dodge Vipers selling for $480k in China

Wed, Apr 29 2015

Want to get your hands on a new Dodge Viper? Be prepared to pay dearly. It starts at nearly $90k here in the US, but that's nothing compared to what you'd have to pay for one if you lived in, say, China. CarsNewsChina.com reports on one Viper available in Beijing for an eye-watering 298 million yuan – equivalent to about $480,000 at today's exchange rates and representing more than a 500-percent markup. Part of that premium comes down to the Chinese tax code that charges a reported 60 percent for anything with an engine displacing over four liters. And the Viper's, we needn't remind you, is more than twice that. It naturally costs some to import a car to China as well, but most of the rest is pure profit. The Beijing dealership reportedly gets the cars from dealers in California, has already sold three and plans to import several more. The dealer can also get you (or wealthy Chinese individuals) a Corvette Stingray for a comparatively cheap 1.73 million yuan (or $280k). Related Video:

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

Weekly Recap: FCA hit with record fine as NHTSA crackdown continues

Sat, Aug 1 2015

The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration slapped Fiat Chrysler Automobiles with a record fine this week that could reach $105 million. The punishment comes after NHTSA found problems with the automaker's execution of 23 recalls that affect more than 11 million vehicles. The consent agreement, announced Sunday, calls for FCA to pay a $70-million cash fine and requires the company to spend at least $20 million over a three-year period on industry outreach programs and to beef up old recall campaigns. Failure to comply will result in another $15-million fine. FCA also agreed to federal oversight, which includes an independent monitor to oversee the company's recalls. The $70-million cash fine equals a penalty NHTSA levied on Honda in January. "Fiat Chrysler's pattern of poor performance put millions of its customers and the driving public at risk," NHTSA administrator Mark Rosekind said in a statement. "This action will provide relief to owners of defective vehicles, will help improve recall performance throughout the auto industry, and gives Fiat Chrysler the opportunity to embrace a proactive safety culture." FCA called the deal a "consensual resolution," but admitted that it "failed to timely provide an effective remedy" during certain recalls. "We are intent on rebuilding our relationship with NHTSA and we embrace the role of public safety advocate," the company said in a statement. The announcement kicked off a busy week for the automaker. NHTSA agreed FCA did not need to recall 4.7 million vehicles after an investigation failed to find defects with a power module used in some Jeep, Dodge, and Ram vehicles. A Georgia judge also reduced a civil verdict involving a death in a Jeep Grand Cherokee crash. Amid all of that, the company reported net profit of about 333 million euros, or $364 million in the second quarter on Thursday. OTHER NEWS & NOTES FCA ramps up Hellcat production Despite a decidedly legal and financial week for FCA, there was still time for the performance side of the business to briefly grab the spotlight. The automaker is more than doubling its production of the Dodge Challenger and Charger SRT Hellcats in response to strong demand. The order bank opens the second week of August and production begins in September. FCA will finish up its scheduled 2015 model-year Hellcat builds, and cancel any "unscheduled" versions, though customers will get discounted pricing for 2016.
