Up for sale is a 1951 Dodge B3-F series flatbed dully truck.  This is NOT a show truck, but is a ton of fun and fully functional.


This truck is in decent original shape...a good survivor.  Original color appears to have been dark blue, but was painted orange/red at some point.  Paint is in poor shape...and looks like it may have been brushed on?

I was told it had been used at a local mandarin ranch for many years hauling cases of oranges during harvest.  The previous owner stated that within the last 2 years the truck received four new tires, a rebuilt carb, the brakes were gone through and the new flatbed undercarriage was constructed. I can't confirm this is true, but things all seem to be working and the tires are in good shape.  The new flatbed structure appears well done and measures 12 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide.  I have done no mechanical work on this rig aside from new engine oil and trans/differential fluid.  Have driven it about 25 miles in the last year or so...always fires up and chugs down the road.  45 MPH is the max I've had it to...

Body is in OK shape...minor dents and dings. no major rust.  The driver door seam is splitting and the door check is broken so the door overextends when open and is dented because of this.  Minor rust on the floorboards...no rust through or major issues. Seat cover is newer and in good shape.  Glass is all there and in OK shape.  Headliner is falling down.  

This is a 6 volt system that at some point in the past was converted from positive ground to negative ground.  fuel gage does not work, but all others (Speedo, odometer, voltmeter, temp) all seem to function properly.
Truck runs very smoothly, but need some tuning on the carb...bogs a bit w/o the choke partly opened while driving.  it has never overheated on me and does not really seem to leak any fluids to speak of.

many of the vent/air/heater pulls are frozen and would need some coaxing to get working.  Electric wipers do work.  

My research shows the truck has the following:
236 cu in flat 6 developing 109 horsepower.  (Engine number: T3I4-9I47)
4 speed manual on the floor 
GVW is 13500lbs

Comes with a clear California title and current California tags (just paid).  The VIN on the title matches a metal plate near the drivers side cowl/firewall in the engine bay.  The serial number on the removable data plate on the door jamb number does not match this VIN...but the data plate may not be original to the truck.  

Please don't expect perfection or a vehicle with no quirks.  It really could use some tinkering to make sure all the systems are up to speed and in good shape.
If you are the winning bidder, please plan for appropriate transportation of the vehicle to your location before committing to bid.  This is a BIG truck and I would guess prices will be higher than normal.  It is likely not practical to drive this home unless you are very close to the Sacramento area.  Also, please note that this truck MUST be picked up within 2 weeks of a winning bid...no exceptions.  I have to move it out...

Full payment within 3 days of a winning bid via cash in person, Paypal or certified check.  
Any questions please ask...I've tried to tell all that I know about this fun old truck. 

Vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
Thanks for looking...

Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions

Tue, 03 Sep 2013

It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.

2015 Dodge Viper price drops $15k for 2015

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

We recently saw updated specs and new trims of the 2015 Viper, but it looks like the folks at Dodge were saving the biggest surprise for last. Prices on all levels of the American sports car are seeing an immediate, across-the-board price cut of $15,000; even 2014 models still remaining on dealer lots.
The new MSRP for the 2015 Viper in its base SRT trim now starts at $84,995, and when the TA and GTS come to the lineup later next year, they start at $100,995 and $107,995, respectively. The move seems like a swing for the fences that might help to quell slow sales.
Obviously, current Viper owners might be somewhat peeved that their investment was just re-priced by the company. However, to assuage some of their concerns, Dodge is giving all fifth-gen owners a certificate worth $15,000 towards the purchase of a new one, which comes in addition to the price reduction.

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect

Wed, Apr 2 2014

Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.
