1946 Dodge Truck 1/2 Ton / Restore-able Condition 68 Yrs Old on 2040-cars
Hartford City, Indiana, United States
|
Restore-able Condition! Truck is about 98% complete of original parts. I regret selling this truck after owning it since 1970. I have recently retired and don't have the finances nor desire to put it back on the road. If this truck was restored properly, it would be worth about $15,000.00.
It has the original flat head 6, with new spark plugs. Most trucks that you see for sale on Ebay are missing or have replacement parts. This truck is about 98% original. The brass topped honey combed radiator is original, as well as the carburetor, oil bath breather, trumpet horn (still works), oil filter canister. The body is in pretty good condition considering the truck is almost 70 years old! It has dents, dings and a few rust holes in it. Please refer to pictures, as I have tried to show the flaws and things that will have to be dealt with. The windshield was replaced in the 80's and the glass is in great condition. Both side doors however are cracked and need replaced. The cab is in pretty good shape with the exception to an area above the windshield, that is rusted. (see pictures). Wooden 2 piece floorboard has been replaced. Original heater used to work (paper duct tubes are rotted away). Bench seat needs repair and is missing a lot of horse hair on the drivers area. Springs are still good. Truck bed has a 1/8 " steel plate spot welded in. To my surprise, looking from under the truck, the original wooden bed still seems to be good! The tailgate is bolted in place. The drive train is all original, Clutch, Pressure Plate, Throw-out Bearing, Propeller Drive Shaft (needs leather boots), 3 Speed Transmission all good. The left headlight bowl has been replaced with a slightly smaller one (I have the matching smaller bowl that will go with the truck). I also have an original Dodge Shop Repair Manual that I will go with the truck. (This manual covers practically everything, even adjusting the pitch of the sound of the horn). This truck presently DOES NOT RUN. It has compression, spark to the points, new spark plugs, but probably needs new plug wires? If you have any questions, please feel free to ask. Good Luck, Happy Bidding |

NHTSA investigating Ram 1500 models for rear differential failure
Mon, 30 Jun 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration is investigating Fiat Chrysler Automobiles and its Ram brand following a number of reports regarding the 2005 Dodge Ram 1500 pickup. According to 15 consumer complaints, the trucks' rear differential locked up while in other cases, the driveshaft separated at its connection to the diff.
Nearly half of the reports claim the truck was traveling at or above 50 miles per hour, while two consumers reported that the diff lockup/driveshaft separation sent their pickups into a spin. Most troubling, though, is that consumers reported little to no sound indicating there was a problem with their truck.
We reached out to Ram for additional information, such as how many vehicles may be affected or what equipment might be fitted that could cause the issue. Unfortunately, the company wasn't willing to elaborate on specifics.
Dodge Dart Registry helps you crowdsource money for your next ride [w/video]
Wed, 23 Jan 2013To be honest, we're surprised something like this didn't pop up sooner. Chrysler is riffing on gift registries for couples getting married or expecting babies and cross-pollinating it with a social media funding website like Kickstarter to help customers buy its 2013 Dodge Dart. The Dodge Dart Registry allows people to build and customize a new Dart exactly how they want it, then let other people purchase some or all of the components as gifts.
The registry lets you add features like dark headlights, dual exhaust, various wheels and even interior options without choosing a specific trim level. This sounds a lot like the system Scion uses to let its customers configure cars, and this could be a great idea for Dodge. Of course, this system has the added benefit of being a social media affair for you to share with your friends... you know, so they can help pay for some of the parts, too.
The best thing about the registry is that you can configure your dream Dart from the comfort of your home computer, which strikes us as much better than walking around Bed, Bath and Beyond for the better part of an afternoon with an electronic scanner. The one thing that Dodge doesn't offer? "Thank You" cards. Those are on you.
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.
