1973 Dodge D100, long box stepside. Very original, 77,763 miles. I have owned this pickup since 2004, and have put about 8 or 9 thousand miles on it, I believe the mileage to be
original, based on the oil change sticker in the door from 1983. I bought it locally in Montana, and would guess it could have been here for 40 years, but cannot confirm that.
It was purchased by the US Government, if you look close you can see the lettering on the door. I was told it spent many years at the Belfry, MT cemetery.
Sadly, I have been unable to keep in under cover all the time these past eight years, and the paint shows this. It had always been my intention to
paint it, but didn't want it done cheaply, so I didn't do it at all. I am a fan of Dodge stepsides, and based on what I see pass thru ebay and if you ever see one parked, this is one of
the straightest, least abused you will find in unrestored condition. The seat has been recovered in original fabric from SMS, at a professional upholstery shop. I have used this pickup for
a spare runaround truck, and for when I need an open bed to move things. The bed wood is original, and has warped, but not bad for 40 years old. Over the years, I have had some carb work
done, block heater installed, new muffler, new tires (Coopers), which have good tread, but showing age. It can be cold blooded below freezing, but if plugged in, it starts fine. It runs better when
driven on a regular basis. I have all reciepts for work done, and these will be included.
The oil gets changed every year, regardless of the mileage I put on (1,000 mile average/year) All the lights work, as well as all gauges and such. It was a radio delete originally, as the radio in
it when I bought it had three holes in the area for the radio. I cut the hole out with a dremel tool, and installed a period correct AM Chrysler radio, but it does not work, just for looks. I imagine it
might work if you are handy that way. The motor sounds good, seems to burn a little oil, auto transmission works fine. Newer floormat, floor had surface rust, sprayed with a sealer, put down new
insulator carpet. The only rust thru is behind the front wheels, very common for Dodge's of this era. There is surface rust and oxidation otherwise, the pictures show all areas.
I have enjoyed this pickup a long time, and never figured I would ever sell it. But, I decided my backup should be 4WD and heavier duty, and a 1987 W250 came along, running out of room.
I would hope that another fan of Dodge stepsides will buy it, and repaint it in its original Medium Blue. It had a badly painted white bumper when I bought it, and I replaced it with a decent chrome one.
It has the original hubcaps, and even the reflectors on the rear sides, how often do you see those?! Also, this vehicle is basic, be sure this is what you want! No power steering, no A/C, just a time
machine to 1973. The gas tank is in the cab, and if it is full, there can be an odor of gas, so I don't fill it. The original tank was rusty inside, a replacement was found, cleaned, tested. Also, new fuel pump
and fuel filters, and gas lines. There a few minor dings, and scratches. Window rubber needs replaced. This vehicle is 40 years old, there is no warranty.
If you have any questions, please feel free to call (406) 351-1492. Thank you for viewing my auction.

Trump tells Detroit 3 CEOs he wants more US jobs, calls environmentalists 'out of control'
Tue, Jan 24 2017As expected, President Donald J. Trump met with top executives from FCA, Ford, and General Motors this morning as part of a larger push to generate jobs in America. "I want new plants to be built here for cars sold here!", Trump said in a tweet ahead of the meeting. Not everything said in the meeting was made public, but the President later tweeted that he had a "Great meeting with automobile industry leaders." FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne, Ford chief Mark Fields, and GM's Mary Barra all echoed the positive vibes after the meeting. In a statement, Barra called the discussion "very constructive and wide-ranging," adding that it focused on "policies that support a strong and competitive economy and auto industry," and "that supports the environment and safety." That's noteworthy, because Trump is reported to have said "I am to a large extent an environmentalist. I believe in it, but it's out of control." Fields, speaking to reporters after the meeting, said, "We're excited about working together with the president and his administration on tax policies, on regulation and on trade to really create a renaissance in American manufacturing." The Ford CEO was specifically talking about Trump's withdraw from the Trans-Pacific Partnership. "We've repeatedly said that the mother of all trade barriers is currency manipulation, and TPP failed in meaningfully dealing with that, and we appreciate the president's courage to walk away from a bad trade deal," he said. Marchionne focused on American manufacturing in his statement after the meeting. "I appreciate the President's focus on making the US a great place to do business. We look forward to working with President Trump and members of Congress to strengthen American manufacturing." Perhaps equally as interesting as what was said and who was invited are what wasn't said and who wasn't invited. Trump has been very vocal about his distaste for US automakers' plants in Mexico, but no mention was made of the North American Free Trade Agreement by Trump or any of the Detroit CEOs after the meeting. We also have to wonder if Trump plans to meet with representatives from German, Japanese, and Korean automakers that have made massive investments into American plants and produce a large number of cars in this country.

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes
Mon, 09 Dec 2013Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.
Weekly Recap: Toyota propels hydrogen fuel cells
Sat, Jan 10 2015Toyota is serious about hydrogen fuel cells, and it wants the auto industry to follow suit. The Japanese automaker said this week it's releasing 5,680 fuel cell patents from around the world, including technologies used on its upcoming sedan, the 2016 Mirai. The move is unusual, but not unprecedented, as Tesla similarly released its electric vehicle patents last year. The idea for Tesla, and now for Toyota, is to spur development of alternative propulsion. "By eliminating traditional corporate boundaries, we can speed the development of new technologies and move into the future of mobility more quickly, effectively and economically," said Bob Carter, Toyota Motor Sales senior vice president of automotive operations, in a statement. Toyota's fuel cell patents will be free to use through 2020, though patents related to producing and selling hydrogen will remain open forever. Toyota said it would like companies that use its patents to share their own hydrogen patents, but won't require it. "What Toyota's doing is really a logical move, and really a good move for the industry," Devin Lindsay, principal powertrain analyst with IHS Automotive, told Autoblog. The announcement was made at the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It comes as Toyota prepares to launch the hydrogen-powered Mirai in a limited number late this year in California. The launch will be extended to the Northeastern United States next year. Toyota also has announced plans to support networks of fueling stations in each region to try to smooth consumer adoption. The Mirai has a 300-mile range on a tank of hydrogen, and it takes about five minutes to refill. Fuel cells have been receiving increased attention recently, and Audi and Volkswagen debuted hydrogen-powered cars at the 2014 Los Angeles Auto Show. Honda, another proponent of the technology, also showed its updated FCV concept in November in Japan. The company, however, has delayed its fuel cell sedan a year until 2016. Like Toyota, Honda says its hydrogen-powered car will have a range of 300 miles or more. Meanwhile, Hyundai currently offers leases for fuel-cell powered Tucsons, which have a 265-mile range, in Southern California. Despite the optimism some automakers have for fuel cells, the technology still faces barriers. A lack of filling stations has long held it back, and many consumers are not familiar with the potential benefits.
