I am out of time, my friends. I am moving and this truck must go soon! I am passionate about this truck, but cannot take it with me, and do not have the time it deserves.
This truck is surprisingly intact with very few areas rusted through. Although I was going to leave it as a rat rod, it is a viable candidate for restoration or custom street rod.
I will tell you everything I know about the truck, but ask questions....
1. This is a 1946 Dodge pickup that rolled off the factory floor in Detroit, Michigan (build number 26756). I bought it in Virginia and have the frame and door tag, but have not titled it. It is sold with a bill of sale and VIN.
2. The frame is from a 1949 Ford 1/2 ton pickup and is in remarkable condition.
3. The engine is a Ford Flathead V8 (8BA) that runs strong. I have not pulled the heads nor compression checked, so cannot provide details on the condition of pistons, rings, etc. All I know is that it has that distinct flathead sound that cannot be replicated. I was planning a complete rebuild, but would not hesitate to drive it in its current condition.
4. All panels, running boards, etc are intact with some rust holes, but nothing major. I've provided pictures and will provide more upon request.
5. The front glass is cracked, but intact. The rear glass is good.
6. It does not have brake lines, so you need to run all new lines. It also needs rear drums.
7. I have the original transmission, but pulled it off in order to marry a T5 transmission from a 1986 S10 pickup. It still needs the conversion kit (approx. $500) in order to complete it. This auction comes with both transmissions, but if you do not need/want it, I will sell it separately. It needs a clutch pedal. I was going to get a universal clutch/brake kit. I do have the original that comes with the auction.
8. The truck bed side gates are in good condition, but the bed does not have a floor. It also does not have a tailgate.
9. There is no fuel cell or gas tank.
10. All four tires are good and hold air, so it can be rolled in and out easily.
11. I have another complete cab + other parts from a 1941 Dodge Truck (separate auction). I was planning to chop this cab and cut/weld in the spacer from the other. The other cab is rusty, but still solid metal.
12. This is auction style, no reserve, low starting bid. In other words, this truck will sell to whoever is the highest bidder. As I stated, I am out of time. Although the panels are off the truck right now, I will put them back on if you need me to for transport -- otherwise, I'd rather not because you'll likely just be pulling them off in the first 30 minutes of ownership yourself. Seems like a waste. I will accommodate all reasonable effort to ship or move this truck. I've owned dozens of old cars, and understand these are exceptional when you go to move them. I'm a flexible, reasonable person.
13. I'm selling this truck with the caveat that if you do complete it or want to sell it again, I get first crack at getting it back! Like I've said, this truck is in great condition for its age, and I'm very sorry to be listing it here.
14. The prior owner started to suicide the driver door. The passenger is intact. There is some pretty crappy welding in the door hinges that needs to be redone.
Please ask questions and if you need more photos then let me know. I will help any way I can.
Obviously, this is sold "as is," and is not a running/operating vehicle. Seems silly, but have to say it.
Good luck, and take care.

Ron Burgundy returns for four more Dodge Durango ads
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Dodge has released several more of its Anchorman 2-themed commercials, starring Will Ferrell as inept newsreader Ron Burgundy. The four spots, one of which is a sequel to a previous commercial, follow roughly the same pattern as previous ads, with Ferrell's Burgundy misunderstanding or generally making a fool of himself. For some of the ads, though, Burgundy is selling more than just Durangos - the red-suited host of San Diego's most watched news broadcast shilling the entire Dodge lineup.
We've included all four ads down below, and you can also hope over to our original posts to see some of the older commercials. Oh, and if you're getting tired of these - we aren't, aside from the Do-dge spot - just remember that Ferrell reportedly filmed around 70 ads for Dodge.
Redonkulous Dodge Charger is ridin' high
Wed, 18 Sep 2013We're a bit hazy on the styling of this particular donk, which was recently spotted hashing about by HotCarsTV at the Southern Heritage Classic Car show in Memphis. Sporting a dope paint job and some wheels that make a blunt statement about what the driver enjoys, it's a unique take on the popular customizing trend.
The owner may be kiefing it real with the theme on this Dodge Charger, but when your car looks like this, it's easy to weed out from the crowd. Chronic police stops must also make it a pain to drive on a regular basis, though. Even with the big wheels, we bet the driver still finds time to light 'em up. Take a look down below for a brief video of this outrageous mean green machine on the road.
Guy trying to sell Challenger Hellcat for $89,000 because VIN ends in '666'
Mon, Jul 27 2015The Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat is undoubtedly one of the baddest cars on the road today. With a 707-horsepower supercharged V8 snarling under the hood, the coupe can go down the road like a bat out of hell. There's not much that could make one of these muscle machines much more menacing, but a seller on Craigslist has one bizarre solution: offering a hellacious Hellcat with a VIN marking the Dodge as the beastly 666. What's the price for such unholy identification? That's a cool $89,000 – around $30,000 more than a brand new, less sacrilegious example. The seller claims that the Challenger's blasphemous number makes the vehicle "one of a kind," which is true only to the extent that VINs ending 665 and 667 would be similarly unique. The seller also says in the Craigslist ad, "This car is sure to become a collector's item and will only increase in value." There's no question that the Hellcat is a special machine, and the models just might be worth something decades into the future. Expecting that a future owner is going to care about the VIN seems pretty optimistic, though, unless this is either the first or last example, which it's not. To the credit of this superstitious seller, the Challenger appears completely untouched with all of the warning stickers, paperwork and even the plastic still covering the seats. So, the new owner is at least getting a practically untouched example. While we applaud audacity here, a roughly $30,000 premium for an unholy VIN seems a bit... devilish.
