Up for sale is a 1951 Dodge B3-F series flatbed dully truck.  This is NOT a show truck, but is a ton of fun and fully functional.


This truck is in decent original shape...a good survivor.  Original color appears to have been dark blue, but was painted orange/red at some point.  Paint is in poor shape...and looks like it may have been brushed on?

I was told it had been used at a local mandarin ranch for many years hauling cases of oranges during harvest.  The previous owner stated that within the last 2 years the truck received four new tires, a rebuilt carb, the brakes were gone through and the new flatbed undercarriage was constructed. I can't confirm this is true, but things all seem to be working and the tires are in good shape.  The new flatbed structure appears well done and measures 12 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide.  I have done no mechanical work on this rig aside from new engine oil and trans/differential fluid.  Have driven it about 25 miles in the last year or so...always fires up and chugs down the road.  45 MPH is the max I've had it to...

Body is in OK shape...minor dents and dings. no major rust.  The driver door seam is splitting and the door check is broken so the door overextends when open and is dented because of this.  Minor rust on the floorboards...no rust through or major issues. Seat cover is newer and in good shape.  Glass is all there and in OK shape.  Headliner is falling down.  

This is a 6 volt system that at some point in the past was converted from positive ground to negative ground.  fuel gage does not work, but all others (Speedo, odometer, voltmeter, temp) all seem to function properly.
Truck runs very smoothly, but need some tuning on the carb...bogs a bit w/o the choke partly opened while driving.  it has never overheated on me and does not really seem to leak any fluids to speak of.

many of the vent/air/heater pulls are frozen and would need some coaxing to get working.  Electric wipers do work.  

My research shows the truck has the following:
236 cu in flat 6 developing 109 horsepower.  (Engine number: T3I4-9I47)
4 speed manual on the floor 
GVW is 13500lbs

Comes with a clear California title and current California tags (just paid).  The VIN on the title matches a metal plate near the drivers side cowl/firewall in the engine bay.  The serial number on the removable data plate on the door jamb number does not match this VIN...but the data plate may not be original to the truck.  

Please don't expect perfection or a vehicle with no quirks.  It really could use some tinkering to make sure all the systems are up to speed and in good shape.
If you are the winning bidder, please plan for appropriate transportation of the vehicle to your location before committing to bid.  This is a BIG truck and I would guess prices will be higher than normal.  It is likely not practical to drive this home unless you are very close to the Sacramento area.  Also, please note that this truck MUST be picked up within 2 weeks of a winning bid...no exceptions.  I have to move it out...

Full payment within 3 days of a winning bid via cash in person, Paypal or certified check.  
Any questions please ask...I've tried to tell all that I know about this fun old truck. 

Vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
Thanks for looking...

These Canadians somehow forgot how to drive in snow

Tue, Dec 6 2016

Montreal drivers experienced a slow-motion pileup on their streets this weeks thanks to the first snow fall of the season. According to the CBC, slippery conditions caused a small pileup involving cars, buses and even a street clearing vehicle. Onlookers in neighboring office buildings watched as vehicle after vehicle slid down Cote du Beaver Hall and crashed into the scrum of waiting cars. First there was a city bus, then a white Ford F-150 work truck loaded down with ladders, then another city bus came along and sandwiched the poor F-150. A Montreal Police Charger then came down the hill backwards, hit the bus in a slow, sad crash before it was crashed into by an out of control plow truck. Since its posting yesterday, the video of the crash has gone viral. Various other vehicles–a green-topped Scion delivery truck and a couple workaday sedans–were lucky enough to escape the pileup, but still suffered through a white-knuckled slippery descent down the hill. Colin Creado, who works nearby the crash site, told the CBC although it was pretty slippery, he was surprised at all the carnage since the storm was forecast well in advance. "You would have thought ... they would have salted the area or at least cordoned it off, because that road is pretty steep," he told the station.

Star Wars Episode VII ad is a force for Dodge

Fri, Dec 18 2015

Happy Star Wars day! Some of you might be bleary eyed and begging for coffee after attending midnight screenings of Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens last night (*raises hand*) but the show must go on. And for Dodge, that show has been all about Star Wars. While the entirety of FCA joined the tie-in marketing campaign for the long-awaited JJ Abrams blockbuster, Dodge made out the best. According to Wards Auto, the brand's The Force Gathers spot took the top spot in this week's most engaging automotive ads, capturing nearly a quarter of share-of-voice ratings and garnering over a quarter-of-a-million earned online views. Since the ad began airing earlier this month, it's scored over 430,000 views on YouTube alone. The relatively simple ad evokes Darth Vader and his legions of storm troopers. In the 30-second spot, a black Viper leads six long columns of white Chargers, Challengers, and Durangos while John Williams' iconic Imperial March blares in the background. It ends at the stand of an overwhelmed pair of valets outside a screening for Episode VII. We've embedded the spot at the top of the page if you haven't seen it. Check it out, and may the Force be with you. Star Wars, Episode VII: The Force Awakens is in theaters today. Related Video:
