I am out of time, my friends. I am moving and this truck must go soon! I am passionate about this truck, but cannot take it with me, and do not have the time it deserves.
This truck is surprisingly intact with very few areas rusted through. Although I was going to leave it as a rat rod, it is a viable candidate for restoration or custom street rod.
I will tell you everything I know about the truck, but ask questions....
1. This is a 1946 Dodge pickup that rolled off the factory floor in Detroit, Michigan (build number 26756). I bought it in Virginia and have the frame and door tag, but have not titled it. It is sold with a bill of sale and VIN.
2. The frame is from a 1949 Ford 1/2 ton pickup and is in remarkable condition.
3. The engine is a Ford Flathead V8 (8BA) that runs strong. I have not pulled the heads nor compression checked, so cannot provide details on the condition of pistons, rings, etc. All I know is that it has that distinct flathead sound that cannot be replicated. I was planning a complete rebuild, but would not hesitate to drive it in its current condition.
4. All panels, running boards, etc are intact with some rust holes, but nothing major. I've provided pictures and will provide more upon request.
5. The front glass is cracked, but intact. The rear glass is good.
6. It does not have brake lines, so you need to run all new lines. It also needs rear drums.
7. I have the original transmission, but pulled it off in order to marry a T5 transmission from a 1986 S10 pickup. It still needs the conversion kit (approx. $500) in order to complete it. This auction comes with both transmissions, but if you do not need/want it, I will sell it separately. It needs a clutch pedal. I was going to get a universal clutch/brake kit. I do have the original that comes with the auction.
8. The truck bed side gates are in good condition, but the bed does not have a floor. It also does not have a tailgate.
9. There is no fuel cell or gas tank.
10. All four tires are good and hold air, so it can be rolled in and out easily.
11. I have another complete cab + other parts from a 1941 Dodge Truck (separate auction). I was planning to chop this cab and cut/weld in the spacer from the other. The other cab is rusty, but still solid metal.
12. This is auction style, no reserve, low starting bid. In other words, this truck will sell to whoever is the highest bidder. As I stated, I am out of time. Although the panels are off the truck right now, I will put them back on if you need me to for transport -- otherwise, I'd rather not because you'll likely just be pulling them off in the first 30 minutes of ownership yourself. Seems like a waste. I will accommodate all reasonable effort to ship or move this truck. I've owned dozens of old cars, and understand these are exceptional when you go to move them. I'm a flexible, reasonable person.
13. I'm selling this truck with the caveat that if you do complete it or want to sell it again, I get first crack at getting it back! Like I've said, this truck is in great condition for its age, and I'm very sorry to be listing it here.
14. The prior owner started to suicide the driver door. The passenger is intact. There is some pretty crappy welding in the door hinges that needs to be redone.
Please ask questions and if you need more photos then let me know. I will help any way I can.
Obviously, this is sold "as is," and is not a running/operating vehicle. Seems silly, but have to say it.
Good luck, and take care.

Chrysler recalling 278,222 trucks and SUVs over bad rear axles
Thu, 14 Feb 2013Chrysler has issued a recall of 278,222 light trucks and sport utility vehicles here in the United States. The reason: bad rear axles. Specifically, according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, the rear axle pinion nut may lack a necessary adhesive patch, which could cause the nut to loosen. If this happens, the axle can lock up, which could cause all sorts of havoc on the road.
This is an expansion of the rear axle recall announced in October of last year, where 44,300 Ram 1500 and Dodge Dakota models were being called in. At that time, 12 accidents had been reported due to the faulty axle pinion nut.
Affected vehicles include Ram 1500 trucks from the 2009 to 2012 model years, Dodge Dakota models from the 2009 to 2011 model years, and both the Chrysler Aspen and Dodge Durango SUV twins, both from the 2009 model year only.
Mopar '15 performance kit now available for Dodge Charger R/T
Tue, Jun 9 2015Dodge is releasing a new Mopar performance kit for the 2015 Charger R/T sedan, offering up just 50 examples of the dealer-installed upgrade package. Only a select few dealers will sell the kit, and they'll do so at a price of $3,550. As per usual, the Mopar kit makes both performance and aesthetic changes. For the 5.7-liter Hemi V8, upgrades include the Stage 1 Scat Pack kit, which adds a cat-back exhaust and cold-air intake, good for 18 additional horsepower and 18 more pound-feet of torque. There's also a new strut tower brace and a "premium fuel powertrain control module." Aesthetic changes are remarkably simple, with matte black body-side decals being the only notable addition to the exterior. In the cabin, there's a serialized dash plaque and new door sill plates. This is the sixth Mopar special edition since 2009. If you wish to join this fairly exclusive fraternity of Dodge owners, dealers are currently accepting orders, with deliveries slated to start later this month. Scroll down for the official press release from Dodge.

25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee, Dodge Durango SUVs recalled over brake feel
Mon, 10 Mar 2014Chrysler has announced that it is recalling over 25,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs from several markets over concerns about brake feel under hard braking. The affected models are from the 2012 and 2013 model years, although the actual dates of production aren't available. 18,700 are in the US, while 825 are in Canada, 530 are in Mexico and a further 5,200 outside of North America.
According to a statement, Chrysler was informed of the issue by a component supplier for the Ready Alert Braking system, which primes the brakes in anticipation of an emergency stop. A component in the system was restricting the flow of brake fluid too much.
As Chrysler is quick to point out, the way the brakes functioned was in compliance with regulations and there are no reported cases of drivers losing braking power. Instead, the issue rests with what Chrysler calls a pedal feel that "was not consistent with customer expectations." So it would seem Chrysler is being proactive and fixing a problem not because there's a legal issue at work, but simply because it doesn't feel the way the manufacturer wants it to. Well done.
