1935 Dodge Rat Rod Truck Pickup on 2040-cars
Cody, Wyoming, United States
|
1935 dodge rat truck. I know see why most rat rod trucks don't have hoods. what a pain to get everything to fit, anyway. the front end is out of a heavy duty ford econoline van. the front end was totally custom made. it has a 351 Cleveland 2v that totally rebuilt in about 1975. this engine has been started and runs very well. the radiator is out of a 1978 jeep wagoner and fits well. it has a small hole in the top that needs to be brazed. it will need a pusher type fan as there was not enough room to put a fan on. there is plenty of room between the grille and radiator for one. the transmission was in very nice condition and is totally apart. all internals are very nice and it has a brand new rebuild kit for it. this is all included. it also has an original stock stall converter that is included. the transmission was installed to ensure that everything fit when the body was installed. it will fit fine. the entire interior is installed and welded up, except for the area around the driver's side. I wanted to reinstall the trans and check everything again. this has a heater out of a 1978 jeep wagoner that works and is all hooked up. the fan on this heater also works. the photo does not show, but the interior will have a set of dodge van seats. these were previously installed also to make sure everything fit well. the power steering box is also out of the 1978 jeep wagoner. it is hooked up to the power steering pump, but has not been tested. this power steering worked fine when it was taken out of the jeep. a driveshaft was made to fit perfectly. it has new u-joints. a wiring fuse block is installed under the dash, and the engine part is wired, but the front/rear taillights will need to be wired. the rear end is out of an 80's ford truck, a DANA I believe, but need to check this if needed. the wood in the flat bed is old weathered oak that was reused from the old original truck. the gas tank is out of a 1930's or 40's allis chalmer tractor and all the gas lines are hooked up. the gas tank is very clean inside and mounted to the bed securely. the battery box is installed and the battery lines are already ran. it has a brand new starter. this was originally a AAA wrecker and the graphics on the doors are great. the body/hood/flatbed are all original to the truck. a new windshield was made and installed in the original frame. it has some rust on the bottom of the doors and cab, which is a requirement for a rat rod. the brakes on the front are rebuilt and has the master brake cylinder installed. it will need shock mounts installed on the front. the frame is dropped behind the cab so the frame rails do not stick up into the cab. with the seats installed it is comfortable, I am 6 feet tall and have plenty of room. this has been chopped 3 inches. this does not have a title, but I can get one if needed, this is a very easy process in the state of Wyoming. it has the original VIN mounted to the firewall. Please feel free to ask any questions. this can be inspected in Cody Wyoming. please note, this has not been driven. I check my ebay messages several times a day, but will be out of town next Friday and Saturday, so anyone is welcome to call me at 307-899-0776 with any questions, thanks. HAD A COUPLE OF QUESTIONS THAT I WILL ANSWER: THE REASON SOME OF THE PAINT IS GONE FROM THE VALVE COVER IS BECAUSE I DRIPPED SOME BRAKE FLUID ON THE VALVE COVER ON THE DRIVER'S SIDE AND IT TOOK THE PAINT OFF. THIS ENGINE WAS REBUILT AND HAS 0 MILES ON IT. I ALSO TOOK OFF A PLASTIC CAP FROM THE TOP OF THE CARB, OTHER THAN THE PHOTO, THIS HAD A PLASTIC CAP TAPED OVER THE TOP OF THE CARB SO NO DIRT OR CRITTERS WOULD GET INTO THE ENGINE. THIS WAS PUT BACK AFTER THE PHOTO WAS TAKEN, THANKS FOR THE QUESTIONS. IF ANY ADDITIONAL PHOTOS ARE NEEDED OF SPECIFIC AREAS, PLEASE CALL AND I WILL GET THEM SENT. PLEASE CALL AS EBAY DOES NOT ALLOW THE DREADED E-WORD IN A LISTING. |

Dodge to resurrect Scat Pack?
Fri, 27 Sep 2013Before social media ever existed, if automotive enthusiasts wanted to be noticed or recognize other fans, they joined a car club. For Dodge muscle car lovers from 1968 through 1971, that group was known as the Scat Pack. Just like the Charger, Challenger and Dart nameplates, it looks like the Scat Pack could be getting a resurrection by Chrysler.
Automotive News is reporting that Chrysler recently renewed its trademark on the Scat Pack name, and while this is in no way a guarantee that the name will return, AN talked to Tim Kuniskis, Dodge President and CEO, who stoked the fire a little more. In the article, Kuniskis said that the name is "a very important part of our history" and added that "we like the whole idea of having a Scat Pack of cars." Scat Pack models were identified by their bumblebee stripes and helmet-wearing bumblebee logo, and the idea of a modern Scat Pack doesn't seem all that outlandish in light of recent vehicles like the Charger SRT Super Bee and the Ram 1500 Rumble Bee Concept.
What do you think, is this a cool idea, or is it just an unwelcome bit of nostalgia? Have you say in Comments.
Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series
Thu, 10 Jan 2013Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
11 vehicles from Barrett-Jackson Las Vegas worth watching
Fri, 26 Sep 2014This weekend will see the world's collector car crowds descend on Las Vegas, NV for one of the biggest shows on Barrett-Jackson's popular auction circuit. There are hundreds of vehicles up for bidding, ranging from a brand-new Lamborghini Aventador to a spattering of Art Deco classics and a huge swath of classic muscle cars.
While it's virtually impossible to assemble an inarguable list of the best cars coming during the three-day, 700-plus vehicle auction, we've sifted through the listings for this year's show - it was a tough assignment, we promise - and assembled a list of what we think will be some of the most interesting lots. We'll admit, it's a bit heavy on American iron, but if you browse BJ's listings, you'll come to a similar conclusion. Still, scroll down for our list of what we think will be the most interesting vehicles at the upcoming auction.
