it started life as a 1985 d350 dually gasser. lifted the body off the chassis and dropped is onto a rolling chassis and powertrain from a 1993 w250 cummins extended cab long bed. fortunately the wheelbase was almost identical and the cab along with a shortbed i purchased dropped too perfectly. the rolling chassis and drivetrain had about 140k on it when i bought it from a friend whol crushed his cab loading broken cement into the bed with a front end loader. its now almost to 146k.  i have put alot of time, money, sweat, tears, and blood into this truck.  it was an automatic until recently. i purchased a 1992 w250 donor truck to do the manual conversion.  while under neath her as i was pulling everything out i decided it best to just rebuild everything seeing as i had some spending cash at the time.  front and rear axles have been rebuilt as well as the getrag 5 speed transmission and transfer case.  i sprung for a new clutch and upgraded to the southbend clutch hydraulics package.  everything i rebuilt was sanded, repainted black and rustoleumed as well as the chassis.  this truck will literally run forever. 
i picked up a diamond plate bumper and 10k pound ramsey wench for the front but it has not been installed yet. i have a new custom aluminum one piece rear drive shaft on the way right now.  the purchase was made because after converting to manual but before deciding to sell i had huge power aspirations. was intending to make this into a sled puller and pick up another daily.  
she has no carpet. original dash and door panels were red. iv replaced them with black panels. the carpet was still red so i yanked it out. the floor is in great shape..  i like the bare metal black. its durable and tough looking.  
the seats are blue. from a second gen cummins turbo diesel. all i had at the time.  future goals were to re upholster in black leather but its a future thing.  
also if you know anything about diesels, especially the dodge cummins, you know they are typically always leaking something somewhere.  this truck does not leak at all.  its completely dry which is something i am extremely proud of.  its a rarerly attained goal, especially considering the age of all this hardware.  

again.. the truck has around 145k mileage. however when i did the manual conversion i swapped the guage cluster.  the manual cluster reads 168k, which even if that were the true mileage its insignificant for a 12 valve cummins.  

rust and leak free.

you arrange shipping.

Jay Leno's 426-powered 1966 Dodge Coronet 500 is simple and simply fun

Wed, Dec 21 2016

This week on Jay Leno's Garage, the man in denim presents one of his most subdued-looking cars, a 1966 Dodge Coronet 500. Despite that, it's one of his favorites. As he shows, the car is nearly free of any unnecessary options, excepting bucket seats and a console shifter. At least those are the only visible options, since the original owner also opted for the massive 426 cu. in. Hemi V8. What Leno really likes about the car is the honking huge V8 combined with the car's simplicity, especially the lack of frivolities like scoops, stripes, and wings. It's finished in a low-key, dark metallic green, and has plain-Jane "dog dish" wheel covers. The one downside to the vehicle is the lack of stopping and turning ability, Leno says, which is not surprising considering the four-wheel drum brakes and lack of power assist. And keep in mind, the Coronet is not a small car. Still, it's a mean green machine, and it sounds great. Leno also demonstrates the engine's capability to chirp the tires going into second gear, despite having a three-speed automatic and a relatively tall 3.23 rear axle gear ratio. Check out the video above to get the whole story and to hear rumbling V8 noises. Related Video:

Classic Design Concepts has another riff on the widebody Challenger

Wed, Nov 2 2016

Dodge is secretly working on a widebody Hellcat-powered Challenger dubbed the ADR. But for those that can't wait a few years, there's this – Classic Design Concepts' Group 2 Widebody Challenger that was unveiled at SEMA. The original Group 2 Widebody Challenger from CDC made its debut at SEMA back in 2008, but was given a new look for this year's trade show. The car, which you can scrutinize in the gallery above, features a bright red paint job with a blacked-out American flag on the left rear fender and "Hemi" in yellow on the right side. The wheels are also color-coated to match the rear billboard fenders, with the right side being finished in yellow and the left side a dark gray. CDC's body kit is wide, slammed to the ground, and menacing. And if you happen to forget that this is a widebody Challenger, because the extra six inches of width are hard to miss, there's a clear reminder on the back of the car.

Legacy Classic Power Wagon First Drive

Wed, Oct 7 2015

Shortly before the US entered World War II, Dodge supplied the military with a line of pickups internally codenamed WC, those letters designating the year 1941 and the half-ton payload rating. From 1941 to 1945 Dodge built more than a quarter million of them, and even though "WC" came to refer to the Weapons Carrier body style, the WC range served in 38 different configurations from pickup trucks to ambulances to six-wheeled personnel and weapons haulers. The story is that soldiers returning from active duty badgered Dodge for a civilian version of that indefatigable warhorse, so Dodge responded with the Power Wagon in 1946. Even for those no-nonsense times the truck was so austere that the first three names Dodge gave it were "Farm Utility Truck," "WDX General Purpose Truck," and "General Purpose, One Ton Truck." "Power Wagon" was the fourth choice, not finalized until just before it went on sale. Nothing like today's Power Wagon, the original could be seen as either a glorified tractor or a slightly less uncouth military vehicle – hell-for-leather meant going 50 miles per hour. But it would go nearly anywhere. The civilian version was still built like it had to survive, well, a world war; power take-offs (PTOs) ran all manner of ancillaries; multiplicative gear ratios helped it produce enough torque to make an earthquake envious. Said to be the first civilian 4x4 truck made in America, any organization that needed a simple, sturdy mechanized draught animal knew it needed a Power Wagon. If history, the aura of war, and ruthless functionality attract you but mean comforts and 70-year-old manners don't, then you need to get in touch with Legacy Classic Trucks. If that history, the aura of war, and the ruthless functionality attract you but the mean comforts and 70-year-old manners don't, then you need to get in touch with Legacy Classic Trucks. The Jackson Hole, WY, restorer retains every ounce of the Power Wagon's orchard-work aptitude, decorated with present-day amenities and the best components. Each job starts with having to find a usable donor. The city of Breckenridge, CO, bought the red truck in our gallery in 1947 and used it as a snowplow for the next 30 years. In 1977 a log-home builder bought it from the city and used it for another decade as a company hauler. That's the kind of grueling longevity that lets Ram put a five-figure premium on the 2500 Power Wagon pickup it sells today. Legacy Classics founder Winslow S.
