1946 Dodge Pick-up Truck. It is considered a pre-war body style though.

The body has some rust, but is fairly reasonable for a 68 year old truck. The fenders are solid but look like they may have had dents hammered out of them, as they have many dimples in them. The windshield is cracked, and the windshield frame is rotted pretty well, but the crank out mechanism still works. The wood in the bed is rotten. The tailgate needs to be held on with a ratchet strap, as the bed sides tend to droop outwards. The rear window is fine, and both side windows are fine and crank up and down. The door latches work well.

The interior is as plain as you could imagine. It has a bench seat, with naugahyde that is torn/cracking. It has wood panels over the battery box and around the shifter, and both are rotting. I'm not sure if any of the gauges work, but about 5 years ago I charged the battery and the headlights and gauge lights worked.

The engine is the stock 6 cylinder flathead. 5 years ago I had it running, and drove it down the road. The clutch didn't slip, the tranny worked in all 3 forward and 1 reverse gear. The hydraulic brakes do not work, and I had to use the parking brake to slow down. The accelerator pump in the carb was shot, so it took some feathering of the throttle to move it. I haven't attempted to revive it since that day, so the current running condition I am stating as not running. When I had it running, the generator was charging fine.

This vehicle is being sold AS-IS, and it's old so expect there to be things wrong with it.

This truck is also for sale locally, so this auction may be canceled at any time.

No delivery of this truck is included, as the buyer is responsible for pick-up/transport.

A $500 deposit will be required, and the remainder of the balance will be due before the truck leaves the premises.

Chrysler minivans under investigation for stalling after fuel refill

Wed, 10 Sep 2014

According to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, at least one man has reported that his 2007 Dodge Grand Caravan stalled unexpectedly on the highway shortly after being refueled. The unidentified man who contacted NHTSA regarding the issue cited as many as eight similar instances reported by other drivers.
NHTSA has announced that it will launch an inquiry into this issue, which could affect as many as 160,000 minivans from Dodge and Chrysler that were sold in 2007 (or more, if a problem is found that extends to additional models years, we'd assume). As of yet, there's no formal investigation, let alone a recall, on these vans, as the agency is merely determining if further action is needed.
Two months ago, Chrysler recalled nearly 700,000 vehicles, the majority of which were minivans, from the 2008-2010 model years to replace ignition switches after an investigation found that their weak springs and detent positions could fool a driver into thinking the car was in the "Run" position, when it's actually in the "Accessory" position.

Detroit's new fleet of donated police cars have safety issues [w/video]

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

In a show of generosity in mid-August, Detroit's business leaders donated $8 million to the Police Department and Fire Department in order to buy 100 new police vehicles and 23 EMS ambulances. But now officers have discovered - and complained - that the police vehicles have glaring safety issues, Deadline Detroit reports. It is not made clear what models of the fleet vehicles - which include police versions of the Ford Taurus, the Chevrolet Caprice and the Dodge Charger - are affected by the safety issues.
Officers reportedly have complained that the Plexiglass partition separating front-seat officers and back-seat prisoners is easily breached, and that the front passenger seat is installed too close to the dashboard. Prisoners who manage to writhe out of their handcuffs can bend the Plexiglass and reach into the cockpit, and sitting too close to the dashboard can render airbags more dangerous and make officers more vulnerable to injury in a crash.
Mark Diaz, president of the Detroit Police Officers Association, received the complaints and reportedly said the vehicles would get safety updates addressing the issues. But Deadline Detroit reports that it checked some of the offending police cars and, as of the last few days, they hadn't been updated.
