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.

Dodge Demon's A/C helps its supercharged Hemi make more power
Thu, Mar 30 2017Staying cool is one important key to performance. Simply, more air means more power, and cool, dense air is better than hot air. While forced induction might help make copious amounts of horsepower, turbos and superchargers produce heat. Intercoolers help, but the new Dodge Demon and its supercharged Hemi need a bit of an extra boost. In Drag Mode, the Demon's engine commandeers the car's air conditioning system to help chill things out. The Demon will have the first production application of a liquid-to-air charge air cooler chiller system. Literally, the car's air conditioning system is used to cool the air going into the engine, dropping temps by up to 45 degrees Fahrenheit. Dodge claims the system helps achieve "temperatures previously unattainable by pressure-charged street-legal production vehicles." As cool as this may sound, the technology isn't new. Ford had a prototype system in the early 2000s called SuperCooler, though that system never made it to production. While the Demon's system doesn't have a super cool name like the one from Ford, the pair essentially work in the same way. In theory, it should have the same effect as a bottle of nitrous. According to Autoweek, Ford's system bumped up the output of the F-150 Lightning by about 50 horsepower. Turns out that air conditioning isn't always a huge power suck. Related Video:
Experience the New York Auto Show by drone
Fri, Apr 10 2015The Autoblog team recently returned from wildly running around the Javits Center to cover all the news and debuts at the New York Auto Show. Sometimes, it's nice to take a more serene look at the exhibition floor, though, and the event's organizers are providing that exact opportunity by flying a drone through the hall. Combined with the down-tempo music, this clip feels like a form of automotive meditation. If you're going to miss the show in the Big Apple, the drone also provides a good overview at the exhibition floor, especially at the stands from Lexus, Buick, Dodge, Mercedes-Benz, Toyota and BMW. Plus, it's a fun way to see some vehicles from a completely different angle than they ever appear on the road.

Mopar Hellephant is sold out, but here are 4 other awesome crate V8s to try
Mon, May 6 2019Despite a relatively enormous $30,000 price tag, Mopar's 1,000-horsepower supercharged Hellephant crate engine sold out in just 48 hours. Some enthusiasts may have missed out on the crazy engine due to lack of funds, or they just assumed there would still be some Hellephants down the line. But worry not, swap-happy gearheads. There are plenty of V8s in the world to pick from, and we highlighted four favorites. They're not as powerful, but they're all cheaper, and still have a lot to offer. Mopar 6.2L Hellcrate Odds are a lot of prospective Hellephant buyers were Mopar fans to begin with, so we'll start the list with the next-most-potent offering: the Hellcrate. This is the same supercharged 6.2-liter V8 found under the hood of the Dodge Charger and Challenger Hellcats and the Grand Cherokee Trackhawk. It makes 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque like those cars, too. It's also about $10,000 cheaper than the Hellephant engine at $20,020, and that leftover money can be used to finish the project or for aftermarket upgrades to get it closer to the Hellephant's output. GM LS9 6.2L The Hellcrate isn't the only factory supercharged crate engine on the market. From General Motors comes the supercharged 6.2-liter LS9 V8. This is the engine that was used in the C6 Corvette ZR1. At 638 horsepower and 604 pound-feet of torque, it doesn't make as much power or torque as the Hellcrate. But it does boast a dry sump oil system. So instead of pumping oil out of a pan at the bottom, the engine uses an oil tank mounted remotely that pumps oil into the engine. This means the engine is shorter overall, and can be mounted lower for a better center of gravity. It also means that there's almost no risk of running the engine dry in hard cornering, as could happen with a normal oil sump where the oil can slosh to the side without the oil pump. Basically, it offers some major benefits if you want supercharged V8 power for a road course car. It's also a tad cheaper than the Hellcrate at $18,149. But get one while you can, because GM is only selling what's left from when it was building the C6 ZR1. Ford Aluminator 5.2XS Our pick from the Blue Oval lacks a supercharger, but it's still pretty sweet.
