Up for sale is my custom built 1992 Dodge Cummins Crew cab. It started out as an extended cab long bed truck. In
2001 it was stripped down to the bare frame to begin the build to make it into a crew cab. The chassis was
stretched and reinforced. The cab came from a 1980 forest service truck from California. It was sand blasted down
to bare metal to make sure there was no rust anywhere. The cab and rear doors are from the 1980 truck. Everything
else is 1992. It is titled and vin'd as a 1992. All the 92 interior was installed, along with power seats from a
Ford super duty. The center console is a locking unit from Tuffy. Everything is power, including the rear doors.
During the build a power sunroof from a Mercedes was installed. It does not leak at all. Never has. The truck is
100% rust free. Not a spot anywhere. It has Buckstop bumpers front and rear. I have the brush guard, but it is not
currently installed. Right after the truck was built it was photographed for Buckstops website. I have included
some of those photos. The photos of the truck with the original bed are old photos. I no longer have the bed for
the truck.
The engine is a 12 valve Cummins turbo diesel and the transmission is a 5 speed manual Getrag. It has a Dana 60
front with Chevy crossover steering, and the rear is a disc brake Dana 80 from a 2001 Ram. It has 3.55 gears. Last
fall all the u-joints and brakes were replaced. Clutch is in good shape and everything works flawlessly. It has a
4" lift with near new 35" BFG all terrains on 16.5" aluminum wheels.
Last fall the original engine was replaced with one that had fewer miles. The new engine has 120k, and before it
was installed it got a bunch of new gaskets replaced, the killer dowel pin fixed and new main seals. I also had new
75 hp injectors, and a new Holset HX35 turbo installed at that time. Other than those two items, the engine is
stock. The truck has driven about 2500 miles since all this work was done.
As far as extras, the truck has a straight pipe exhaust, a Pacbrake exhaust brake, onboard air compressor and rear
airbags with controls and gauge inside the cab. The bed has a hidden gooseneck hitch. The bed surface is Trex deck
and it's seen some use. The truck was built for work. The bed was originally built to dump, and still could if a
hydraulic cylinder were to be installed. All the original bed mounts are still there, so putting a factory bed back
on it would be an easy thing to do.
On to the bad. The clearcoat is starting to peel in a few places, mainly on the hood. I did my best to show it in
the pictures. There is one spot of minor damage in the front passenger corner by the bumper where the truck hooked
a fence post. It has minor scratches here and there, but no major damage. Its never been wrecked or in any kind of
accident. Mechanically there are only 2 things wrong with this truck. The cruise control does not work, and the
speedometer bounces around. I'm pretty sure it needs a new cable. It just turned 200k, but with the speedo acting
up, the actual mileage is around 210k.

China-FCA merger could be a win-win for everyone but politicians
Tue, Aug 15 2017NEW YORK — Fiat Chrysler boss Sergio Marchionne has said the car industry needs to come together, cut costs and stop incinerating capital. So far, his words have mostly fallen on deaf ears among competitors in Europe and North America. But it appears Marchionne has finally found a receptive audience — in China. FCA shares soared Monday after trade publication Automotive News reported the $18 billion Italian-American conglomerate controlled by the Agnelli family rebuffed a takeover from an unidentified carmaker from the Chinese mainland. As ugly as the politics of such a combination may appear at first blush, a transaction could stack up industrially, and perhaps even financially. A Sino-U.S.-European merger would create the first truly global auto group. That could push consolidation to the next level elsewhere. Moreover, China is the world's top market for the SUVs that Jeep effectively invented, so it might benefit FCA financially. A combo would certainly help upgrade the domestic manufacturer; Chinese carmakers have gotten better at making cars, but struggle to build global brands, and they need to develop export markets. Though frivolous overseas shopping excursions by Chinese enterprises are being reined in by Beijing, acquisitions that support the modernization and transformation of strategic industries still receive support, and the government considers the automotive industry to be strategic. A purchase of FCA by Guangzhou Automobile, Great Wall or Dongfeng Motors would probably get the same stamp of approval ChemChina was given for its $43 billion takeover of Syngenta. What's standing in the way? Apart from price (Automotive News said FCA's board deemed the offer insufficient) there's the not-insignificant matter of politics. Even as FCA shares soared, President Donald Trump interrupted his vacation to instruct the U.S. Trade Representative to look into whether to investigate China's trade policies on intellectual property. Seeing storied Detroit brands like Jeep, Chrysler, Ram and Dodge handed off to a Chinese company would provoke howls among Trump's economic-nationalist supporters. It might not play well in Italy, either, to see Alfa Romeo and Maserati answering to Wuhan instead of Turin — though Automotive News said they might be spun off separately. Yet, as Morgan Stanley observes, "cars don't ship across oceans easily," and political considerations increasingly demand local manufacture of valuable products.
2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of
Mon, 08 Sep 2014The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.
Rare Dodge Shelby Dakota is a very '80s sport truck
Fri, Jun 3 2016The late-great Carroll Shelby built an incredibly successful career of making all sorts of cars faster, more often than not, with a bigger or more potent engine under the hood. The icons are well known—legends like the Shelby Cobra, GT350 Mustang, and the big GT500. But by the 1980s, Shelby was plying his trade over at Chrysler, at the behest of chairman Lee Iacocca, churning out special editions like the Dodge Shelby Charger, zippy CSX, rorty GLHS, and this—the 1989 Shelby Dakota muscle truck. 1,500 of these racy pickups were built for just one year and a whole two-and-a-half decades later they still turn heads. This one especially. The spotless pickup recently turned up for sale online , and its odometer reads a claimed 25,307 miles. So what makes these rarified work trucks special? As with most Shelbys, it starts under the hood. Up until 1989, the standard Dodge Dakota pickups were offered in only four-cylinder and V6 variants. But Dodge (and Shelby) wanted more, so the larger 5.2-liter Magnum V8 from Dodge's full-size pickup was shoehorned into the midsize Dakota, albeit not effortlessly. To fit, Dodge had to swap the V8's belt-driven fan for an electric unit mounted in front of the radiator. That did the trick, as well as earned the V8 a few extra ponies, pushing the special Dakota up to 175 horsepower and 270 lb.-ft. of torque. That performance may sound paltry by today's standards, but in 1989 it was seen as quite sporty, and netted a zero to 60 mph dash in 8.5 seconds. A four-speed automatic with lockup torque converter transmitted that power to the rear wheels. Additional Shelby performance goodies included a limited-slip differential, transmission cooler, along with a host of eye-catching body mods, including a unique air dam and bumpers, Shelby floor mats, monogramed seats and door panels, a "CS" steering wheel, 15-spoke hollow alloy wheels, and shouty body graphics. While the Shelby Dakota didn't return for 1990, its V8 legacy did continue, and in 1991 the 5.2-liter eight-cylinder became an option on new Dakotas. Of the 1,500 Shelby Dakota pickups built, 860 were dressed in red while a rarer 640 came adorned in Bright White. This '89 is said to be #245 of those white trucks, sold new to its original (and sole) owner in Mechanicsburg, Pennsylvania, for $15,985 (the Shelby package cost $3,933 in its day). Currently, it's demanding bids north of $10,000 for its low-mileage originality. Related Video: This content is hosted by a third party.
