1957 Dodge Power Giant W100 V8 4x4 project truck. No Rust at 54,000 miles!

Rare first year factory 4wd. I think this is truck number 540 of about 600 made that year.

These were the top dog in their day by combining the rugged and proven 4wd of the WWII Power Wagon with the modern style and impressive V8 power of the regular 2wd Dodge Truck line. 1957 was a one-year-only body style and very few V8 4wd trucks were ordered due to the high cost. Fortunately, the U.S. Government bought quite a few for Forest Service, BLM, and Rural Fire. This truck was a Forest Service Rural Fire unit. The boys in the motor-pool knew this one was special so they gave it dual exhaust and a very nice Green Metal Flake.

This truck has the first gen 318. The motor starts and runs strong, but the carb needs a seal kit. It has the 4-speed manual, NP201 transfer case, first year Dana 44 axle, and first year Dodge 8-3/4" rear. The brakes and steering need attention. It can drive on a trailer, but should be gone through before hitting the highway. The seats are a bit rough and need bolted down, but have nice covers. The bed needs new wood. Rear glass missing. Overall this truck has awesome style and solid metal, it just needs those finishing details that I can't do since I am in a wheelchair now. Please see pictures!

EXTRA passenger door included in the sale. I also have a 1957 W200 parts chassis that is for sale (transfer case, drive lines, springs, axles, steering gear). I have many other parts including extra fenders a 56 front clip, a 57 short box, and other early Dodge Truck parts that I need to clean out.

CLEAR MONTANA TITLE is in my name.

This is a 'no-reserve' auction with no 'buy-it-now' price. Highest bidder wins the truck. Shipping is the buyers responsibility. Truck is sold as is where is. No rush to move it, but if you need more than 30 days please let me know and we can work something out. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due in 7 days. No payment plans. Truck is located in Stevensville, MT 59870. I hear uship.com has good shipping rates.

Thanks for checking out this cool old truck!

Sunday Drive: Spying an automotive future of performance

Sun, May 13 2018

I spy, with my little eye ... the future of the automotive world here in the United States. That pretty much sums up this week's Sunday Drive, in which we pull out the most popular stories on Autoblog of the previous week and try to draw some sort of conclusion as to what binds them all together. This week, it's spy shots, starting with one of the biggest and baddest muscle cars the world has ever seen: the Dodge Challenger Hellcat. The Hellish coupe gets a new hood for 2019 with dual scoops, but that's about the only meaningful change for the new model year. No matter. As long as it's packing 700-plus horsepower under those two hood scoops, all will be right with the world. Moving on, we take keep the performance angle but move it from the street to the dirt with a new version of the Chevy Colorado ZR2 that we think is probably called the Bison. We think it'll keep the high-tech suspension bits of the regular ZR2, but add expedition gear that may include a snorkel and a winch. Which, if true, is pretty dang cool. Keeping the truck theme is the 2019 GMC Sierra. There's nothing particularly noteworthy about the trim level in which the truck was spied, and that's what makes this specific example interesting. Base-model trucks almost never get much attention, but they sell in droves to workers who need an honest-to-goodness truck for work or play and don't care about bells, whistles, or massive chrome badges. And finally we have the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, which is on fire on the sales floor right now. But those are all V6-powered Wranglers flying off the showroom floor. Soon, a turbocharged four-cylinder engine option will become available, and now we know that it will return up to 23 miles per gallon in the city and 25 on the highway. That makes it the most fuel efficient Wrangler that Jeep has ever sold. As always, stay tuned to Autoblog this week for all the automotive news that's fit to publish. 2019 Dodge Challenger Hellcat with twin-scoop hood spied with no camouflage Chevy Colorado ZR2 Bison caught testing 2019 GMC Sierra 1500 spied in base trim level 2018 Jeep Wrangler four-cylinder fuel economy revealed Spy Photos Chevrolet Dodge GMC Jeep Truck Coupe SUV Off-Road Vehicles Performance dodge challenger srt hellcat sunday drive

Dodge Charger Hellcat hitting 60 in 2.9 seconds on drag radials?

Thu, 02 Oct 2014

The Dodge boys and their cousins from SRT have shoehorned the same 707-horsepower, 6.2-liter supercharged V8 into both the Dodge Challenger and Charger. The former being a two-door, it's lighter than the latter four-door sedan. So it would stand to reason that the Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would be the quicker of the two, right?
Only that's not necessarily proving to be the case. On stock rubber, yes, the coupe beats the sedan: Dodge quotes a 0-60 time of 3.7 seconds for the Charger SRT Hellcat and 3.5 for the Challenger. Same gap across the quarter-mile: 11 seconds flat for the Charger versus 10.8 seconds for the Challenger. But according to recent reports, the story changes when you put both on drag radials.
While visiting Chrysler HQ in Auburn Hills, MI, TorqueNews.com caught wind of performance figures for the Charger Hellcat on drag tires: 0-60 in a mind-blowing 2.9 seconds and a quarter-mile in just 10.7. The latter figure just barely pips the Hellcat-powered Challenger's NHRA-certified figure of 10.8, making the Charger not only the fastest sedan on the market, but also the fastest muscle car. What isn't immediately clear, however, is whether the drag radials in question have any tread on them and are street-legal, or if they're pure slicks confined to a closed strip.

Dodge performance trio thrashed on Roadkill

Tue, Apr 14 2015

Of all the shows that Motor Trend does, Roadkill is probably the last one we'd pick to evaluate the latest performance automobiles. That's not a slight against David Freiburger or Mike Finnegan, who host the show: they're certified gear-heads and the go-to guys when it comes to hot rods, rat rods and anything grungier than it is shiny. But as exemplary as they are of Detroit muscle, the Charger Hellcat, Challenger Hellcat and Viper are also shiny new pieces of metal. Still, since it will now be sponsoring the show, someone at Dodge apparently thought it would be a good idea to hand Freiburger and Finnegan the keys to the company's top performance models. So to ring the best out of them, they solicited help from some of their colleagues at MT, gained access to a closed-down air strip, devised as many ways as they could to destroy the tires, and proceeded to set about doing exactly that. Watch the grin-inducing mayhem unfold in the half-hour clip above. Related Video:
