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...

Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation

Tue, May 31 2016

The current Dodge Charger is getting long in the tooth. It was originally introduced in 2005 as a 2006 model. In car terms, that's an eternity, though it's been refreshed twice. Still, FCA US will keep the LX-generation car going, reportedly facelifting it one last time for 2019. After that, there are some bigger changes in store . Automotive News is reporting that the follower to the current LX Charger will lose almost 500 pounds and will once again offer a turbo four-cylinder. You might remember the front-wheel-drive four-banger Charger of the early '80s. The recharged sedan will be twin-turbo and it's going to use the 300-horsepower four-cylinder engine currently under development for the 2018 Jeep Wrangler, AN says. The target weight for the future car is around 3,500 lbs, while the current car has a curb weight of nearly 4,000 lbs. Look for it to arrive in the early 2020s. The new platform will have a touch of Italian flair instead of the Daimler-Benz flavor embedded deep inside the LX cars. It will be built on an extended version of the 2017 Alfa Romeo Giulia's "Giorgio" platform, according to AN. Dealers were already shown a styling-buck almost a year ago.

Only in Japan: Dodge van one-make racing series is a thing

Wed, Jul 15 2015

Japan seems willing to embrace a level of automotive insanity that many other places lack. Whether it's 1,200-horsepower Nissan GT-Rs blasting through tight, tree-lined mountain roads or advertisements with dances for the Toyota Prius Plug-in, the country definitely has a unique way of expressing a love for autos. The D-Van Grand Prix might be one of our favorite examples yet of crazy Japanese car culture, because the annual, one-make race at the Ebisu Circuit is exclusively for heavily customized Dodge vans. Like many great things, this wonderfully crazy idea came from a little rule breaking. D-Van Grand Prix organizer Takuro Abe was at a track event for a motorcycle racing school, and vans were used to haul the bikes around. During lunch someone came up with the idea for a race. Ignoring that the big machines weren't actually allowed on the circuit, the drivers headed out. The popularity has just grown since then. These days, the racing vans absolutely aren't the stock machines from the event's inspiration. In addition to stripped interiors and track rubber that you might expect, the list of mods for them is a mile long. For every possible advantage, the racers fit them with things like Brembo brakes, cross-drilled rotors, heavy-duty transmissions, and much more. Seeing vans lumbering around the track is very weird at first, but the racers take the competition very seriously. These folks even employ all sorts of little tricks to coax the most from the machines. This is a fascinating motorsports story, but be sure to turn on the subtitles to understand the interviews with the competitors.

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show

Fri, 24 May 2013

As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
