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.

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 Grand Caravan to live in fleets through 2017
Mon, Jun 22 2015After a hard-working career of hauling around families for decades, the Dodge Grand Caravan name was set to retire in 2016 under FCA's five-year plan for the US. The decision would have put all of the automaker's focus behind the next-generation Chrysler Town & Country, but that original strategy might have changed. Now, Dodge's minivan may have to work just a few more years before it can finally shuffle off. There are set to be 2016 and 2017 model year examples of the current Grand Caravan, according to an internal FCA production document obtained by Automotive News. This report suggests no changes in the minivan between those two years, and there's no mention of the company's intentions deeper into the future. "While we've announced the Grand Caravan will eventually be the minivan that goes away, we're not going into more detail at this time," a Dodge spokesperson said to AN. For the next Town & Country, production would start in Windsor, Ontario, in late February 2016. This document also suggests a brief run of 2016 Chrysler minivans based on the current model from August 2015 until February 2016. Automotive News speculates that the reprieve for the Grand Caravan could allow that model to focus on fleets and the Canadian market while the new Town and Country gets up and running. The latest generation T&C will reportedly debut at the 2016 Detroit Auto Show and will possibly carry a higher price to befit a vehicle with a more modern platform and improved tech.
Vin Diesel reveals first poster for Furious 8
Wed, Apr 20 2016Vin Diesel unveiled the first poster for Furious 8. The image shows Dom standing on a deserted road with his Dodge Charger with the tagline: "New roads ahead." Diesel's post doesn't offer any other new details about the much-anticipated action film, which is still a year away from theaters. While this image is teasing, we continue to get a better idea of Furious 8's cast. Scott Eastwood, Clint Eastwood's son, has a prominent role in the film, and Charlize Theron plays a villain. Dwayne Johnson also confirmed his return as Hobbs. Plot details still vague, though. An earlier teaser from Diesel hinted that some of the movie might take place in Manhattan, which could be an amazing setting for automotive stunts. The crew has also been filming north of Reykjavik, Iceland, which would be a great locale for off-road action. Furious 8 will hit theaters on April 14, 2017. According to Diesel, part 9 will arrive on April 19, 2019, and Fast & Furious 10 will potentially end the main franchise on April 2, 2021. This content is hosted by a third party.
