1946 Dodge Truck 1/2 Ton / Restore-able Condition 68 Yrs Old on 2040-cars
Hartford City, Indiana, United States
|
Restore-able Condition! Truck is about 98% complete of original parts. I regret selling this truck after owning it since 1970. I have recently retired and don't have the finances nor desire to put it back on the road. If this truck was restored properly, it would be worth about $15,000.00.
It has the original flat head 6, with new spark plugs. Most trucks that you see for sale on Ebay are missing or have replacement parts. This truck is about 98% original. The brass topped honey combed radiator is original, as well as the carburetor, oil bath breather, trumpet horn (still works), oil filter canister. The body is in pretty good condition considering the truck is almost 70 years old! It has dents, dings and a few rust holes in it. Please refer to pictures, as I have tried to show the flaws and things that will have to be dealt with. The windshield was replaced in the 80's and the glass is in great condition. Both side doors however are cracked and need replaced. The cab is in pretty good shape with the exception to an area above the windshield, that is rusted. (see pictures). Wooden 2 piece floorboard has been replaced. Original heater used to work (paper duct tubes are rotted away). Bench seat needs repair and is missing a lot of horse hair on the drivers area. Springs are still good. Truck bed has a 1/8 " steel plate spot welded in. To my surprise, looking from under the truck, the original wooden bed still seems to be good! The tailgate is bolted in place. The drive train is all original, Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out Bearing, Propeller Drive Shaft (needs leather boots), 3 Speed Transmission all good. The left headlight bowl has been replaced with a slightly smaller one (I have the matching smaller bowl that will go with the truck). I also have an original Dodge Shop Repair Manual that I will go with the truck. (This manual covers practically everything, even adjusting the pitch of the sound of the horn). This truck presently DOES NOT RUN. It has compression, spark to the points, new spark plugs, but probably needs new plug wires? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck, Happy Bidding |

FCA issuing software update for 1.4M vehicles to prevent hacking
Fri, Jul 24 2015In the wake of a Jeep Cherokee being hacked remotely while on the road through its Uconnect infotainment system, FCA US is now issuing a software update for 1.4 million vehicles in the United States. Affected customers will receive a USB stick in the mail with the improved version; owners can check this website to see if their cars are affected. A large variety of models with FCA's 8.4-inch touchscreen infotainment system are affected. They include the 2015 Chrysler 200, 2015 Chrysler 300, 2015 Dodge Charger, and 2015 Dodge Challenger; 2013-2015 Dodge Viper; 2013-2015 Ram 1500, 2500, and 3500; 2013-2015 Ram 3500, 4500, and 5500 chassis cab; 2014-2015 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Cherokee; and 2014-2015 Dodge Durango. According to FCA in its announcement, the new software "insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation." As of July 23, the company also "fully tested and implemented within the cellular network" additional security to prevent access to many of a vehicle's systems. FCA US says that it's conducting this campaign out of an abundance of caution and disputes the notion that there's a defect with these vehicles. Beyond the demonstration of the hack in the Cherokee, the automaker says that it's unaware of any other reports of these attacks actually happening. Related Video: Statement: Software Update July 24, 2015 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to update software in approximately 1,400,000 U.S. vehicles equipped with certain radios. The recall aligns with an ongoing software distribution that insulates connected vehicles from remote manipulation, which, if unauthorized, constitutes criminal action. Further, FCA US has applied network-level security measures to prevent the type of remote manipulation demonstrated in a recent media report. These measures – which required no customer or dealer actions – block remote access to certain vehicle systems and were fully tested and implemented within the cellular network on July 23, 2015. The Company is unaware of any injuries related to software exploitation, nor is it aware of any related complaints, warranty claims or accidents – independent of the media demonstration.
MotorWeek remembers a better time for Mitsubishi performance
Fri, Feb 26 2016Dodge still knows how to create an capable performance car – look at the Hellcats, for example – but the same isn't true for Mitsubishi. With the Lancer Evo's demise, we don't expect driving enthusiasts to clamor for any of the Japanese automaker's other products. Things used to be different, though. As MotorWeek found in its new Retro Review, the 1991 Mitsubishi 3000GT VR4 and its sibling, the Dodge Stealth R/T Turbo, were impressive sports coupes in their day. Dodge and Mitsubishi packed a bevy of cutting-edge tech into the coupes. In these trims, both sported all-wheel drive, four-wheel steering, an adjustable suspension, active exhaust, and automatic climate control. The 3000GT VR4 upped the ante even more with active aero parts at the front and rear. Their 3.0-liter twin-turbo V6 was good for 300 horsepower and 307 pound-feet, which were good numbers at the time. This pair put all their gizmos to good use, too. MotorWeek compares the all-wheel-drive system's grip levels to a Porsche 911 Carrera 4. When was the last time you heard any favorable similarity between a Mitsubishi and a Porsche? The Stealth R/T Turbo and 3000GT VR4 came from a special time for Japanese sports coupes, when every brand had a halo model. Whether you were looking at Nissan 300ZX, Mazda RX-7, Toyota Supra, or even the Acura NSX, there was a lot to like on the market. MotorWeek's latest Retro Review offers a great reminder of that period.
40+ cars that barely avoid the gas guzzler tax
Thu, 24 Jul 2014
The Gas Guzzler schedule, with mpg ratings and charges that haven't changed since 1991, lays out which fuel-swillers owe what to Uncle Sam.
I started thinking about the "Gas Guzzler Tax" - considerably less well known as The Energy Tax Act of 1978 - when I was driving Dodge's new Challenger SRT Hellcat last week. Unsurprisingly for a car that can burn 1.5 gallons of gas per minute at max tilt, theoretically able to empty a full tank of premium in about 13 minutes, the Hellcat will be subject to the Gas Guzzler Tax schedule when it goes on sale.
