1963 Dodge Powerwagon M37 Military 4x4 Truck, Short Wheelbase on 2040-cars
Blue Springs, Missouri, United States
1963 DODGE POWERWAGON M37 4x4 MILITARY PICK-UP, inline 6-cylinder flat-head engine, 4-speed manual transmission, high/low range, PTO, 24-volt electric system, older 9.00X16" bias-ply rough-tread tires. This truck runs and drives but the brakes will need bled and perhaps some other issues addressed (they worked enough for me to drive the truck several blocks to the storage unit where these photos were taken. The engine starts nicely with no smoke, leaks, knocks or other unwanted noises. The steering seems tight and the truck was a blast to drive. The truck comes with the original military-issued shop manual and operators guide. The vehcile appears nearly rust-free other than some minor surface rust and one small 1" diameter spot on the cowl near the driver's door. ENGINE: inline 6-cylinder -- appears to be the original, NO SMOKE, KNOCKS or LEAKS that we can detect. We just rebuild the carburetor for depenbability. TRANSMISSION: 4-speed manually-shifted -- appears to be the original unit. Also has what appears to be the original 4-wheel drive transfer case & PTO mechanism (the wench has been removed by the previous owner). BODY: 2-door conventional cab pick-up with 6.5' "step-side" cargo box, all factory original. PAINT: repainted from original military ODG to fire department red with white painted cab top. Only one small rust spot on cowl near driver's door. Lot's of patina/character on this one, but a rock-solid truck, needing repaint, complete restoration or enjoy 'as-is'. SUMMARY: This is a nice truck and it's rare to find a retired military Powerwagon that hasn't been completely beat up. While this one shows wear and tear, there's a lot to like about this truck...it's a restorer's paradise, or it's perfect for the weekend warrior wanting a dependable truck to use on their farm or hunting property. DISCLAIMER: NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED...TRUCK IS BEING SOLD 'AS-IS'. I ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO CALL AND COME VIEW THIS TRUCK IN PERSON BEFORE BIDDING AS THE SALE IS FINAL. We can assist a trucking company with loading, but shipping logistics and expenses are the sole responsibility of the purchaser.

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Preserved truck found at the bottom of frozen lake
Tue, Jan 26 2016A fisherman in central Minnesota pulled more than bluegill and bass out of his local fishing hole earlier this month. While ice fishing on Mayhew Lake, a local man was startled when, using an underwater camera to scout for fish, he discovered a vehicle sitting on the lakebed, the SCTimes reported. He immediately called the Benton County Sheriff's office, which sent deputies to examine the vehicle. Once they arrived, the deputies used their own camera to have a look and discovered a late-90s to early-00s model Dodge Ram pickup in roughly 12 feet of water. The Sheriff's department dive team was then dispatched to search the truck and the area surrounding it for bodies or valuables. The truck was lifted from the lakebed through a huge hole in the ice. The Sheriff's office ran the plates and discovered that it was reported stolen in March of 2000 from a nearby address. Investigators believe that given the truck's location, almost 100 yards from the lake's public access ramp and 25 yards from the north shore, that it was driven on to the lake while it was frozen, then allowed to sink to the bottom once the ice melted. Thanks to the lake's frigid waters, the truck was surprisingly well preserved. Aside from a missing grille, a coating of mud inside, and a patina of rust on the sheet metal, there was little damage to the truck despite its long rest in the lake. With an engine full of lake water and the damage done by roughly sixteen freeze-thaw cycles, the truck will never run again, but its condition is a good testament to the build quality of those old Rams. It certainly held up better than that '57 Plymouth Belvedere they buried in the time capsule under the Tulsa city courthouse.

Ralph Gilles responds to Dodge rumors, says brand is 'here to stay'
Fri, 12 Jul 2013This is why we love Ralph Gilles. While in Italy hanging out with a group of Viper Club members in Europe, the SRT boss took the time to respond to a question directed at him on Instagram in regards to the future of Dodge.
Recent reports have painted a bleak picture for Dodge, but Gilles defended Chrysler's full-line brand by stating that the rumors are, "all rumors, Dodge is here to stay! It may get more focused going forward but not killed!" The idea of a "more focused" Dodge brand could lend some credibility to reports that the Grand Caravan and Durango are on their way out, which would leave Dodge solely as a car, or car-based, automaker.
