1933 Dodge Brothers on 2040-cars
Boerne, Texas, United States
|
1933 Dodge Brothers Pickup., Chopped channeled and shaved to perfection, Earlier restoration of the body, The paint is in good condition and is very showable, It just won 1st place at a car show here in San Antonio with about 200 cars on Fathers day. The Trophy goes with the truck as I am sure it will be the first of many trophies won.
I bought the truck at auction about a year ago and started work on it. Added an brand new motor, a 350 that I had built by a former drag racing crew chief. Its a 350 with custom Alloy heads with 200 fuel rails roller lifters and a matched cam. Flat top 10.5 to 1 pistons with a custom crank and bearings. 750 Holley double pumper with an electronic ignition set up. New headers and exhaust system. It dynode at 413 HP and for a 1400 lb truck thats more than needed. a custom 3000 stall and a racing 3 speed trans with Locar shifter. Dolphin Gauges a new billet collum with a new custom wheel, A very nice wood dash and a stereo for some road tunes. Power windows and a nice custom interior. I had a complete brand new brake system installed with all new rotors drums and master cylinder, I had new brake lines installed and new fittings. It has a 9 inch rear end and new shocks. The exhaust is custom built with hugger headers and chrome and stainless fittings, because the truck sits so low i had NASCAR oval stainless exhaust pipe ran and if you have ever priced that stuff it was not cheap. I have been a gear head all my life and this is the first Dodge Brothers I have ever seen so I did a little research. In 1929 the Dodge brothers both died and the company was sold to the Chrysler family. sales of trucks back then was very low and Mr Chrysler wanted to boost sales and also honer the two Dodge Brothers. So in 1933 Mr Chrysler decided to build what he called the glamor truck, He took the sheet metal from the 1933 Dodge Automobile and used it on the pickup in an effort to make the trucks more car like. He also commissioned an artist to make a hood ornament for the truck line. So as you see 1933 was the first Dodge Ram. The Dodge Brothers truck line was produced from 1933 to 1935 and then the name was shortened to Dodge. There were 99,000 plus of these trucks built and over the years the numbers have dwindled to just a few left. most are in collections and if you look for Dodge Brothers pickups you will not find any and what you do find will either be a basket case or in the very high price range, the few show trucks I have found were listed at close to 100K . This pickup is not perfect, it does have a scratch here and there and a few chips in the paint, If you invest in paint this truck will sell in the 80s but I felt the paint is just too nice to redo now. I do not need to sell this truck but I have found another project I want to do and if I am going to do it I need the garage space. This truck is very rare and will win everything you enter it in as now one has seen anything like it, So if you are a guy that wants to be the center of attention and have a big crowd around your Hot rod this is the one for you |

Chrysler Recalling 870,000 SUVs For Brake Defect
Wed, Apr 2 2014Chrysler is recalling nearly 870,000 SUVs because corrosion may make the vehicles' brakes harder to use. Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from the 2011 through 2014 model years are involved. Chrysler says crimp joints in the brake boosters can corrode if they're exposed to water. If the water freezes, the boosters won't aid braking as they usually do. Chrysler began investigating after some customers said their brakes felt too firm when pressed down. The company knows of one accident, but no injuries, due to the defect. Dealers will install a shield to protect the boosters for free and replace boosters that aren't working properly. Chrysler has since changed the design to make the boosters more corrosion resistant. Chrysler will notify owners of the recall, which involves 867,795 vehicles.

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.
