1989 Dodge 4x4 W350 cab chassis, with custom flatbed. I bought and restored this truck from the ground up, using all original parts, NOS mopar, or american made replacements. I built this truck with the intention of doing mobile welding work. I could have went out and bought a newer truck for less money than I ended up in this one, but I wanted something unique and something that was still a truck. I never thought I'd be selling it, but things have changed, and I have too many vehicles to take care of. Trucks don't get much tougher than this, Dana 60 front, Dana 70 rear, throttle body injected 360ci motor, NV4500 5 speed, NP205 transfercase, 1410 u-joint rear shaft. This truck would be a good candidate for a late model hemi or cummins swap, that's the only thing that could make it any better. The truck was all original when I bought it, with about 119,000 miles on it. I took it down to the frame and rebuilt and repainted everything as I went back together. I replaced the original 16" wheels with 19.5" with new Bridgestone tires, I replaced the 727 automatic with a NV4500 5 speed from a 96 Dodge truck, I got rid of the knapheide work bed that was on it and built the custom flatbed that is on it now. The bed is set up to hold three welding cylinders, and hinges out of the way to make replacing them easier. Comes with the highway products tool box that cost $500 new by itself. The body was stripped to bare metal, paint is base coat clear coat. Axles were tore apart and rebuilt with new bearings and seals, I added a Dana Power-Lok posi in the rear, both axles still have their factory 4.56 gears. Engine was bored .040 over, crank reground, heads rebuilt with new valves and seats, new roller cam and lifters, double row timing chain, new bearings, oil pump, seals, gaskets, water pump, etc.. New SFI billet steel flywheel, new clutch and pressure plate, throw out bearing, new clutch hydraulics. Transmission was taken apart, cleaned, inspected, resealed, and repainted. Transfercase has new seals, new-New Process output shaft, new bearing, and yoke. Driveshaft has been rebuilt with new spicer U-joints, rebalanced and trued. Brakes are all new, new master cylinder, new shoes and pads, rotors and drums turned. Power steering box and pump were disassembled, cleaned, inspected, and resealed with new parts. Has new in-tank fuel pump and all new hoses. Radiator has been recored with new heavy duty 3 row core, biggest that will fit in stock tanks. Exhaust is custom built from aluminized mandrel bends and straight tubing, with stainless magnaflow mufflers. Interior has been redone, seat frame sandblasted and repainted, then new upholstery, dash and door panels redyed, new rubber floor mat. All wiring has been gone through, inspected, retaped, dielectric grease applied to all connections. Air conditioning blows ice cold, new compressor, dryer, evaporator, new hose. New heater core and heater control valve. I think I could go on and on, but I think I covered all the major stuff. Every single piece and part of this truck has been gone through. This isn't just another repainted truck with a new seat cover claiming to be restored. I did all the work myself, and had no intention of selling, so I didn't cut any corners. If you have any questions, or want more pictures of something please contact me. I have over 12,000 in this truck in just parts alone, not counting the hundred of hours of labor it takes to restore a vehicle to this level. The reserve is set at a realistic price, I know I wont get back all that I have in it. Old trucks are only worth so much, but someone who understands how much work it takes to do this, will know that they are getting it for a steal! Also comes with a spare wheel and tire, and another spare wheel, both painted and ready to go. Truck currently has about 12,000 miles on it since I finished it.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
MotorWeek revisits the awesome, original Dodge Viper
Sat, Jun 6 2015MotorWeek is bringing the automotive world a wonderful blast from the past with its latest Retro Review. Not only does the video feature the now-famous, original Dodge Viper, but this is also a chance to watch one lapping Pocono International Raceway in a test of track prowess. This segment was MotorWeek's first chance to unleash the Viper around a racecourse, and the show took advantage of the opportunity. In addition to the usual 0-60 mph and quarter-mile tests, the 400-horsepower V10 is let loose to do lap after lap. The clip offers a great dose of nostalgia and is worth a watch to remember the intense enthusiasm surrounding the Viper at the time.
Chrysler recalls small number of 2013-2014 cars and trucks over engine debris
Thu, 12 Dec 2013Chrysler is recalling a small number cars over issues with their 2.4-liter four-cylinder engines. The recall, which affects 522 examples of its 2013 Dodge Avenger and Chrysler 200 models, as well as 2014 Jeep Compass and Patriot CUVs has to do with potential debris in the balance shaft bearings.
The abrasive stuff can cause the oil pressure to drop, which could lead to the engine stalling or outright failure. This situation could at best leave drivers stranded and at worst lead to a crash.
Chrysler will begin notifying owners, who will need to report in to have the balance shaft module replaced. All repairs are naturally free of charge. Scroll down for the bulletin from NHTSA.
