Beautifully Restored Dodge B3 C116 Pickup with Pilot House cab. This is the 3/4 ton model with longer 116" wheel base. Flathead six cylinder engine and 4 speed manual transmission. This truck was purchased on July 1, 1952 at Sidlow Motors in Dan Bruno California. The story told to me when I purchased it 2.5 years ago is that it was originally used as a grocery delivery vehicle in San Francisco Bay area and retired from use in the late 1960's with very few miles. The truck was then purchased by a gentleman who lovingly restored and maintained it over the next 40 or so years. When that owner passed away the truck was sold by his widow to a dealer and my father and I purchased the truck from him.

The first year that we had the truck it was received at much enthusiasm at the 2012 Art of the Car Concours in Kansas City, one of the more prestigious shows in the Midwest.

We have continued to maintain the truck and make improvements as necessary. Minor leaks the engine block and rear end have been repaired. New rear brake lines and wheel cylinders. New radiator recently installed. New battery last year.

The Pilot House pickup was considered to be a revolutionary design when it was first introduced in 1948. It offered a larger cab and greater visibility with its rear corner windows which had not previously been seen on either Ford or Chevy models. These trucks continue to have an avid group of enthusiasts.

Still, this is not a truck that offers a lot of creature comforts by today's standards. The stock model like this one included no heater or radio and no revisions have been made to include those here. This truck has the original instrument cluster. Speedometer and ammeter work, temperature and fuel gauges do not. Windshield wipers and lights work. Truck is cold blooded but runs like a top when warmed up. A small amount of play in the steering is one issue that we have not addressed, but it is insignificant in my opinion.

We looked at a lot of trucks before purchasing this one and I can tell you that it is a beautifully maintained piece of pickup truck history. If you have any questions that aren't answered in my description or the photos, please let me know.

Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat gets 22 mpg

Thu, 18 Sep 2014

With its crazy 707 horsepower on tap and roughly $60,000 starting price, the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has been one of the most talked about cars of the summer, maybe even the year. However, there's always been one lingering question about the behemoth that Dodge has waited to answer until now - its fuel economy. The EPA ratings for the muscle car are finally out, and the numbers are actually pretty impressive for a vehicle with this much power.
A 2015 Challenger Hellcat with the eight-speed automatic is rated at 22 miles per gallon highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined. Opting for the six-speed manual drops those figures to 21 mpg highway, 13 mpg city and 16 mpg combined.
"As the fastest muscle car ever, the Challenger Hellcat can run 10-second ETs [elapsed times] at the track, and then get 22 miles per gallon on the drive home. With a starting price of $59,995, there's nothing else that even comes close," said Dodge and SRT President Tim Kuniskis in the company's release.

Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side

Mon, 08 Jul 2013

Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

Defiance Dodge Charger, saving Earth from aliens isn't clean work [w/video]

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

You'll be forgiven for not having heard about the TV show Defiance - it actually hasn't aired its first episode yet. The new science fiction show about an alien war against Earth in the near future seems like a perfect fit for the SyFy channel, and, apparently one that Dodge saw as a slick marketing opportunity for its Charger sedan.
Here in Chicago, Dodge has given a large corner of its show stand to the Defiance Charger, a car that won't be skipped by any Mad Max fans in attendance at this year's show. The Charger boasts one hell of a gnarly patina under a confusingly welded cage of tube steel, as well as window bars, a grille guard in front, and big, knobby truck tires. There aren't any obvious guns or turrets on the outside of the vehicle, so we can only hope that the characters driving it go well-armed.
Look for the Charger to make its star turn in Defiance when the series premieres on SyFy on April 15 at 9:00 PM EST. Also, there's said to be a Defiance video game in the works, too, so you may get a chance to steer the burly Dodge for yourself. Find a trailer for the show, below, as well.
