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. |

2017 Dodge Durango GT Brass Monkey: A funky winter drive
Fri, Mar 24 2017The 2017 Dodge Durango is one of our favorite sport utility vehicles. It has power and style and it stands out in a segment that is filled with vanilla-flavored people haulers. We recently had a Durango GT outfitted in Brass Monkey trim – highlighted by its 20-inch burnished bronze aluminum wheels - and took to the back roads of Michigan for an extended drive. The snow was flying. The temperatures dropped. It was muddy. The unpaved roads, pocked and rutted, were jarring, even though the forested setting was serene. The Durango had no trouble with any of it. Watch our video review for the complete experience.
The Chrysler brand could be axed under Stellantis management
Sun, Jan 3 2021MILAN — While running NissanÂ’s North American operations from 2009 to 2011, Carlos Tavares had a reputation for closely watching costs with little tolerance for vehicles or ventures that didnÂ’t make money. Experts say that means Tavares, currently the head of PSA Group, is likely to follow that blueprint when he becomes leader of a merged PSA and Fiat Chrysler Automobiles. The low-performing Chrysler brand might get the axe as could slow-selling cars, SUVs or trucks that lack potential. Already the companies are talking about consolidating vehicle platforms — the underpinnings and powertrains — to save billions in engineering and manufacturing costs. That could mean job losses in Italy, Germany and Michigan as PSA Peugeot technology is integrated into North American and Italian vehicles. “You canÂ’t be cost efficient if you keep the entire scale of both companies,” said Karl Brauer, executive analyst for the iSeeCars.com auto website. “WeÂ’ve seen this show before, and weÂ’re going to see it again where they economize these platforms across continents, across multiple markets.” Shareholders of both companies are to meet Monday to vote on the merger to form the worldÂ’s fourth-largest automaker, to be called Stellantis. The deal received EU regulatory approval just before Christmas. Tavares, who for years has wanted to sell PSA vehicles in the U.S., wonÂ’t take full control of the merged companies until the end of January at the earliest. He likely will target Europe for consolidation first, because thatÂ’s where Fiat vehicles overlap extensively with PSAÂ’s, said IHS Markit Principal Auto Analyst Stephanie Brinley. Europe has been a money-loser for FCA, and factories in Italy are operating way below capacity — a concern for unions, given FiatÂ’s role as the largest private sector employer in the country. “We are at a crossroads,Â’Â’ said Michele De Palma of the FIOM CGIL metalworkersÂ’ union. “Either there is a relaunch, or there is a slow agonizing closure of industry, in particular the auto industry, in Italy.” ItalyÂ’s hopes lie with the luxury Maserati and sporty Alfa Romeo brands, but De Palma said investments are needed to bring hybrid and electric technology up to speed. FiatÂ’s Italian capacity stands at 1.5 million vehicles, but only a few hundred thousand are being produced each year. Most factories were on rolling short-term layoffs due to lack of demand, even before the pandemic.
Dodge Charger to slim down and run turbo four in next generation
Tue, May 31 2016The 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.
