1949 Dodge B-1-b 1/2 Ton Panel Truck on 2040-cars
Denver, Colorado, United States
|
When's the last time one of these came along? And this one has current registration, and runs and drives! 1949 Dodge 1/2-ton Panel Truck, model B-1-B in Deluxe trim. "Deluxe" because it has the vent windows, and passenger seat and sun visor. Fully optioned out with rear bumper, 2-speed electric wipers, and radio. Has after-market Arvin heater with 2-speed motor. Nothing needed, mechanically. Original 218 cubic inch flathead six runs great with no leaks and uses almost no oil. 3-on-the-floor transmission is quiet, though, not quick through the gears, (but then, they never were). Steering is tight. Brakes give reliable if vintage-style performance. Still has 6-volt, positive-ground electrics, and everything works except the radio and the horn. Someone was in the process of installing after-market turn signals, but from the factory it came only with the single stop/brake/license plate light. Originally it was a dark/navy blue, but was repainted many years ago in metallic brown. The original color can be seen in the dash and interior front doors. Otherwise, mostly in well-worn original condition. Floors are solid, and the only rust on this truck is that which is between the wheel wells and just behind the front doors. Obviously, it's going to need some work on the seats; the door panel trim and armrests are missing. The rubber around all four doors is long gone, so the truck makes a pretty good racket as it's going down the road. The wood bed is still very good, no rotting at all. You can still read the date stenciled in bold, green numbers on the inside (05-24-1949). Side glass in both front doors are well-past the need for replacement. Same goes for the tires.
I've owned this truck for nearly 25-years, and kept up with all maintenance. At times, it's been my daily driver. I've done king-pins and brakes. Generator's about 8-years old. The fuel pump was replaced last summer. I was told the engine had been rebuilt in the early '80s, and included re-bore, turned crankshaft, new camshaft and repainted in MoPar big-block turquoise. (It was originally aluminum-colored.) Odometer's reading just over 26,000 miles, and I suspect it's flipped over once (but probably only once). With new tires, and some patience and moxy, it could be driven anywhere you want to go. Included with the purchase is the bright piece that goes above the grill, one of the "DODGE" emblems for the hoods/engine covers, and the radio block-off plate. Nearly everything else it needs (emblems, hub caps, glass, interior trim) are available from the after-market, so this could be a relatively easy restoration. Imagine this painted up in your choice of colors with your company logo on the sides! The truck is located in Denver/Thornton Colorado, 80229. Seller will need to make a deposit of $500 within 48-hours of the auction’s end, the balance to be paid within 7 days of the auction’s end. Buyer assumes responsibility for shipping. Of course, local pick up is no problem. Thanks for looking, and good luck! |

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years
Tue, 06 May 2014Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]
Thu, 15 Aug 2013Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.
Brits recreate iconic Bullitt chase scene
Tue, 13 May 2014Recreating the famous chase scene from Bullitt has become almost an art form in its own right. We've seen it done in a music video, with scale models and even in commercials. There are few films that are as defined by a single scene as the 1968 classic. Even if you don't know a single beat of the plot, the Highland Green Ford Mustang racing a Dodge Charger through the hilly streets of San Francisco is famous. It's so well known that the Silverstone Classic has created a homage to promote its celebration of the 50th Anniversary of the Mustang at this year's event in July.
Filmed around the famous UK circuit, the short film generally gets the key points of the scene right. It even has a green Volkswagen Beetle that keeps reappearing, as in the movie. Unfortunately, its Steve McQueen stand-in looks a little too old for the role. While the video shortens the chase considerably, it's still great to see these '60s behemoths leaning and sliding around the track. Scroll down for a touch of nostalgia thanks to one of the greatest scenes ever in cinema - we've got both the recreation and the original chase seen from the movie waiting for you.
