1951 Dodge "Job Rated" 1/2 Ton Pickup barn find
Plenty of Chevys and Fords but the Dodges are hard to find.
Make an awesome fenderless Rat Rod on a Dodge Dakota or S-10 frame maybe.
Flat head 6 with 3 speed manual. Engine seems complete with oil bath air cleaner and oil filter. The original honeycomb radiator and the heater show no signs of leaks, antifreeze is clean. Engine oil is clean.
Are you tired of working on a project that is rusted beyond repair then this is the truck for you. Southern vehicle, no salt damage!
The floors have some rust but could be patched and not totally replaced, the door bottoms have very little rust.
The cab corners are solid. The hinges don't sag.
The previous owner says the truck has been in a carport for several years and from the lack of serious rust it must have been protected from the elements most of it's life.
The truck has lots of dents that make it a perfect candidate for the Rat Rod treatment.
Has plywood as bed floor.
The original front suspension seems to be all intact and the manual steering box and steering seem tight.
I was told by the previous owner that he was driving it up to 2 yrs ago.
I didn't try to get the motor running but I did spin it over with a battery.
It has a new fuel pump and some brake work (some new steel lines, rubber hoses and appears master cylinder was rebuilt or new) by the previous owner. Brake pedal currently goes to the floor. The emergency brake works.
Original seat has good support and the original covers can be seen under a loose seam on the aftermarket seat covers. The original door panel cardboard is still in place and could probably be used as a pattern.
The front windshields and corner curved glass are not cracked. The side windows are all cracked.
All side glass mechanisms work. Doors open and close and latch.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included. Not sure but I think it has been converted to 12 volts.
There are four original 16" wheels (2 on the truck rear now), also have four 15" Mopar wheels to go with the truck. Standard Mopar 5 on 4/12" bolt pattern. All the tires are only good enough to load the car on a trailer.
Spare tire holder has one of the original 16" wheels.
I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.
Please contact Steve at 205-422-896seven with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $200 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.
Listed locally for $995, I reserve the right to cancel all bids if the truck sells locally first.
The State of Alabama does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. A bill of sale and tag receipt will be furnished.

Consumer Reports says Ram 1500 tops fuel economy fight [w/video]
Wed, Aug 27 2014Consumer Reports takes its independent vehicle testing procedures seriously. In an era when we have to question the EPA's official ratings thanks to recent re-evaluations from Ford and Hyundai, an independent voice is important. So, when CR says something is the best, it's worth paying attention to. The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel has "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV." – Jake Fisher In this case, CR took a look at the fuel economy of the 2014 Ram 1500 EcoDiesel and found that it came out on top of the fullsize pickup truck pack. The Ram did so with 20 miles per gallon overall and 27 mpg on the highway. CR gave the truck a total road test score of 82. The EPA says that the EcoDiesel 1500 gets 28 mpg on the highway, 20 mpg city and 23 mpg combined. Comparing official EPA numbers, the Ram is also the best among trucks in its class. It's nice when people agree on something. As we know from first-hand, long-distance experience, you can push the 1500 EcoDiesel to 38 mpg. CR found in its own testing that the truck had, "about the same fuel-economy numbers that we typically see in a midsized SUV," said Jake Fisher, CR's director of automotive testing, in a statement. Speaking of midsized SUVs, CR also announced this week that the new Toyota Highlander Hybrid got the top spot in CR's ratings in that category. CR liked pretty much everything about the SUV, saying that the "transitions between electric power and the gas engine are seamless" and that, "the new Highlander also handles better, with a steadier ride and reduced body lean in corners."

RAM ECODIESEL 1500 TOPS CONSUMER REPORTS FULL-SIZE PICKUP TRUCK RATINGS Redesigned Toyota Highlander Hybrid Climbs to Top of Midsized SUV List Yonkers, N.Y.- The Ram 1500 EcoDiesel climbed to the top of Consumer Reports' full-size pickup truck ratings with an impressive performance in the organization's fuel economy tests. The EcoDiesel (82 point overall road test score) turned in a best-in-class fuel economy of 20 mpg overall and 27 mpg on the highway, to help it score better than the previously tested Ram 1500 V8 (81) regular gas version and Chevrolet Silverado 1500 LT (80).
2013 Dodge Challenger V6 recalled for fire risk, owners asked not to drive
Sun, 17 Mar 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for the V6 version of the 2013 Dodge Challenger (as pictured above in 2012MY) over the possibility of a wiring harness that could short circuit and lead to a fire. Owners of these V6 Challengers built from November 2012 through January 2013 are being urged to contact dealers immediately and, in the meantime, not to drive their cars or park in or near any buildings.
Chrysler estimates around 2,500 potentially affected Challengers are in owners' hands, while another 1,900 are still sitting on dealer lots. The total number of recalled vehicles is 4,459.
So far, Chrysler says that seven fires have been reported - none resulting in injuries. The company is instructing vehicle owners to contact their dealer to find out if their vehicle is included in the recall, but owners can also find the build date information of their vehicle by checking the label in the driver's door jamb.
