1974 Dodge D100 Old Shop Truck Awesome Patina Rat Rod Cragar Ss No Reserve on 2040-cars
Rosedale, Maryland, United States
1974 Dodge D100 old shop truck with awesome patina Well, here is a Dodge D100 shop truck for sale. It’s so ugly that it’s beautiful. It really has that patina that people seem to be looking for in a shop truck or rat-rod. She is a reliable driver – just bump the key and go. She gets a lot of attention – if you want stealthy, this isn’t for you. The truck runs and drives well with its 225 slant six engine and automatic trans. The brakes are power assisted front disc and rear drums and I would not hesitate to fire it up and drive it around the local community here. I drive it to and from the auto parts store and other local errands. Be aware that the tires are getting old and I am seeing cracks, so before any substantial journey, it really should be tended to. The set of 4 Cragar SS wheels are straight and have a matching patina. Note also that the windshield is starting to fog, so that should be in your plans. It has new brake lines. The dash gauges (fuel and DC ammeter) work fine and the previous owner added a 3-way gauge setup under the dash including oil pressure, water temp and volts – and these work well, too. The truck runs cool and constant temp and oil pressure. The dash is in ugly shape and there is no radio and the seat is covered with a simple cover since the original seat upholstery is falling apart – perfect. The horn button is a replacement and is mounted on the lower dash area – and yes, it works. Technically, she could use some attention. The frame rails are in good shape – could use a wire brush, and it should get floor pans on both sides. I have 2 pieces of sheetmetal in the floors now and I have seen the replacement panels as cheap as $34 here on ebay. I drive it as-is. Obviously, there is some rust here and there, but that’s what gives it it’s character. Operationally, the headlights, taillights, blinkers and even the reverse lights and tag light works. The right turn signal – you have to hold the lever in position – I presume it should get a switch at some point, but it still works. The windshield wipers do not – the motor works, but the wiper linkage needs attention; you can see the passenger wiper sitting on the floor in one of the pictures. The bed was originally wood plank (and you can see this from the under-pictures) but has a piece of diamond plate in the bed now. She has a clear MD title – and in some weird twist the MVA years ago had titled it as a 1970! So, don’t be surprised when you see that on the title – the VIN matches the door, the lock pillar and the title – all matching. The VIN decode indicates it is a 1974 model. As the auction states, this is cash only (other than the PayPal deposit). If you want to pay for the entire truck via PayPal, you can – but that requires that you add the PayPal fee that would be charged to me – about 3% additional. It can be picked up from my home in East Baltimore. If you want it shipped, I can meet your assigned shipping truck locally, no problem. |

Chrysler Group moves around execs in wake of recent departure
Tue, 16 Apr 2013Chrysler is busy shuffling executives around in the wake of Ram head Fred Diaz's departure. The automaker has named Reid Bigland (pictured, right) as Diaz's successor in the role of president and CEO of Ram, though Bigland will continue his duties as the head of US sales and the president and CEO of Chrysler Canada. Bigland first came to Chrysler in 2006 from Freightliner Custom Chassis Corporation, so the guy knows a thing or two about trucks.
Meanwhile, Timothy Kuniskis will take over as president and CEO of Dodge. Previously, he served as the head of Fiat in North America and has been with Chrysler in one capacity or another since 1992. His old title now falls to Jason Stoicevich, who will also continue to work as the director of the automaker's California Business Center. Finally, Bruno Cattori will take over as the president and CEO of Chrysler Mexico.
Diaz left his position to take over as a divisional vice president of sales and marketing with Nissan. You can read the full press release on the Chrysler personnel changes below for more information.
Chrysler Recalls Over 566,000 Trucks, SUVs
Wed, Oct 29 2014Fiat Chrysler is recalling more than 566,000 trucks and SUVs in two recalls for malfunctioning fuel heaters that can cause fires and a software glitch can disable the electronic stability control. The recalls bring the newly merged company's total for the year to 6.4 million vehicles worldwide and 5.1 million in the U.S. as it continues to struggle with reliability problems. It was not immediately clear whether those totals were annual records. On Tuesday, its longtime quality chief abruptly left after Fiat Chrysler performed poorly in Consumer Reports magazine's annual reliability rankings. The largest of two recalls announced Wednesday covers almost 382,000 Ram 2500 and 3500 pickups and Ram 4500 and 5500 chassis cabs from 2010 through 2014. In trucks with 6.7-Liter Cummins diesel engines, corrosion on a fuel heater terminal could cause overheating, fuel leaks and fires. Chrysler is not aware of any fires or injuries. Owners could be warned by an odor of diesel fuel. Customers will be notified by letters starting in December. Dealers will install upgraded terminals and fuel heater housings could be replaced. The second recall covers more than 184,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from 2014. A debris cover over a circuit board in the steering column control module can disrupt communications and disable the stability control. The problem was discovered when dealers started getting reports from customers that electronic stability control warning lights were coming on. Fiat Chrysler says it knows of no crashes or injuries caused by the problem. Technicians will upgrade software to fix the SUVs, and customers will be notified in December. Fiat Chrysler has issued 33 global recalls and 27 in the U.S. so far this year. Doug Betts, its longtime quality chief, left the company to pursue other options after Consumer Reports' survey-based rankings this year showed four FiatChrysler brands at the bottom of its list. Dodge, Ram, Jeep and Fiat performed worst of 28 brands ranked by the magazine. Company spokesman Eric Mayne said Fiat Chrysler's recalls average fewer than 200,000 vehicles each, below the industry average of 301,000. That means the company is responding quickly to problems, he said, adding that eight of its 27 U.S. recalls were announced before the company received any consumer complaints. Chrysler is not alone with a high number of recalls so far this year.
Defiance Dodge Charger, saving Earth from aliens isn't clean work [w/video]
Fri, 08 Feb 2013You'll be forgiven for not having heard about the TV show Defiance - it actually hasn't aired its first episode yet. The new science fiction show about an alien war against Earth in the near future seems like a perfect fit for the SyFy channel, and, apparently one that Dodge saw as a slick marketing opportunity for its Charger sedan.
Here in Chicago, Dodge has given a large corner of its show stand to the Defiance Charger, a car that won't be skipped by any Mad Max fans in attendance at this year's show. The Charger boasts one hell of a gnarly patina under a confusingly welded cage of tube steel, as well as window bars, a grille guard in front, and big, knobby truck tires. There aren't any obvious guns or turrets on the outside of the vehicle, so we can only hope that the characters driving it go well-armed.
Look for the Charger to make its star turn in Defiance when the series premieres on SyFy on April 15 at 9:00 PM EST. Also, there's said to be a Defiance video game in the works, too, so you may get a chance to steer the burly Dodge for yourself. Find a trailer for the show, below, as well.
