1938 Dodge pickup.
The truck is not what is looks like! It looks like an old Junker and that's how I like it, actually it's anything but that. The truck was built on it's original frame with Corvette C-4 suspension front and rear. It was done right it goes down the road strait and true. It has 4 wheel power disc brakes with power rac-n-pinion steering, Vintage AC that blows nice and cold. The motor is a 305 with edelbrock intake and summit 650 duel feed carburetor. The radiator is aluminum with electric fans front and back. The truck runs cool around 170-180 in the Florida heat. The transmission is overdrive 700r that works great. The rear has stock gear so she runs on the interstate at 70MPR @ 2,000 RPM's. The battery is located under the right rear fender it's in a drop down stainless steel box. The wiring is painless system and very wire is tagged with nice new fuse panel. The steering column is GM with tilt and key on the side. The gages are electric Dolphin and are all working as they should it also has working dome lights and under dash lights that come on when the doors are opened. It has an electric wiper motor and there is a wire running to it but I never hooked it up because I don't drive it in the rain. The glove box works fine and I built a steel insert and put a radio inside. I also put insulation under the carpet for sound and heat deading. The doors have bare claw latches and they do have electric solenoids but I never hooked them up I like the door handles. The electric windows work fine but I only have them on the drivers side not the passenger. Both door glass have some cracking I was going to replace them but decided to keep them because they ad to the look of the truck. The body was striped and left outside to rust! yes it needed that rusty patina that it now has. The body is very solid but not rust free you can see where there are some patches here and there. The body is not clear coated yet, that was my next thing to do but I have been driving the truck everywhere and enjoying it and have been working on other projects so I never got around to it. The front end is tilt and you open it by pulling on the grenade on the front of the hood. Don't worry guys it's not live! The body is steel but the fenders and running boards are fiberglass. There are just painted to look like rust. The front end has Zeus fasteners that hold it down. The running boards are reinforced so you can steep on them. It has a custom built tailgate that functions fine and the bed has pressure treated wood. The wheels are from a late model trans-am with nice tires it sits right and they do not scrape. The gas tank has a submersible high pressure fuel pump because the truck had a tune port injection when I got it. It never worked right so I converted it to carburation and I have had no problems with it. The truck is very reliable and drives like a dream you can let go of the wheel and she goes strait down the road, there is no play at all in the steering and it handles like a spots car. I really don't want to sell her but I have to many projects going and I've tried to sell some of my other cars first but there's no money out there so maybe someone will like my truck as much as I do and see the value. You could not build the truck for what I'm asking. I'm open to realistic offers but won't give it away. There is a ton of time and money invested and she still looks like a rusty old truck! I love it!!
The truck is sold AS-IS with No WARRANTY... Buyer pays shipping but I can help arrange on my end. The truck has clear Florida title in my name and is registered and fully insured threw Hagerty collector car insurance for 25K The title reads 1938 Dodge it also has the original VIN tag. The truck is available for inspection anytime just call me to arrange a time. If you have any questions please feel free to call me at 813-478-3449.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches
Thu, 25 Sep 2014Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer
Sun, 16 Nov 2014Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
