1953 Dodge B-4JMA-161. RARE!! The creme-de-la-creme of 1953 Dodge Trucks with every factory option and massive style! The Dodge COE is the undisputed king of the road with many cool factory mods such as a 12" body lift and one-piece hood that is over 20" shorter than a standard hood. This long-wheelbase model is PERFECT for a factory-original roll-back car hauler. For those who don't speak Dodge, the B-4 is the last year of the B series (1953). "J" is the heaviest-duty COE rated at 2-1/2 tons. With the optional heavy springs and frame plates, this truck is the strongest available. "M" means COE cab with commanding view. "A" means optional 2-Speed rear axle. "161" is the wheelbase. This truck has a 17,250 lb GVWR and can be driven with a regular drivers license. - Original 265 Industrial Chrysler Flathead starts and runs. I put in a modern remote oil filter (factory remote filter housing comes with truck). - Deluxe 5-Window COE Cab - 5-Speed Synchromesh Transmission - 2-Speed Vacuum-Shift Rear Axle - Huge Factory Power Bakes - Heavy Duty Optional Front Axle (5000 lbs) - Heavy-Duty Optional Springs (fronts are 2200 lbs each, rears are a conservative 7500 lbs each) - Heavy-Duty Factory Frame Reinforcement Plates - Fulton Aluminum Sun Shield Visor - Current Montana Title in my name! This amazingly rare truck is a piece of metal art. Ready for finish body work and paint or clear-coat and keep the bare metal hot-rod look. Truck runs and drives but needs rear brake line. Driveshaft hand-brake works excellent. PLEASE SEE PICTURES for condition. This truck is 61 years old and has the scars to prove it. There are dents and dings and even a few rust spots. Overall the metal is very rust free with the exception of a few isolated areas (rear cab line, spot on hood, and curved lower sill). The fenders, floors, doors, and door jambs, cab mounts, etc. everything else is very solid. Wiring needs some updating. Seat is not original. Rear tires are 9.00x20 military tires with good tread. The fronts are 9.00x20 with some age checking, but hold air fine. It comes with some spare parts not shown like the front "DODGE" chrome, and the front marker lights (one lens missing). Also included are the factory "Mopar" big-daddy truck mirrors. The lower skirting is missing. I have another truck with the skirting. It is mostly flat metal and would be easy to fabricate. I can provide detailed pics if you want to re-create the factory skirts. I broke my back and can no longer get up into this truck (it is REALLY tall!), so I must pass it along to a good home. The original 1953 brochure with all the detailed specs can be seen at: http://dodge-semis.com/Brochures/1950s/1953FGHJK/ For those interested in such things, there is some speculation that the KMA model listed in the brochure (19,000 GVWR) did not actually exist except as a fully-optioned JMA. This is that model. If you look at the conventional cabs, the "K" had the dual carbs and dual exhaust for an extra 15 hp. However, the COE's use an updraft carburetor. It is highly unlikely they produced a dual updraft COE due to space constraints. Thus the speculation that the KMA lives only in the brochure. If you have or know of a KMA truck in existence, please correct me. Truck is sold as-is with no warranty. This is a real auction and the winning bidder owns the truck. Purchaser is responsible for shipping. Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due within 7 days. No payment plans. Truck ships from Stevensville, MT, 59870. Please let me know if you have any questions. Marcus at 406-360-8628 Thanks for checking out this neat old truck!

Fort Worth Police investigating officer for using pepper spray on bikers
Tue, Mar 15 2016A Fort Worth Police officer was placed on administrative duties after video surfaced showing him allegedly spraying pepper spray at a group of passing motorcyclists during a traffic stop over the weekend. An officer with the FWPD pulled over one of the group's chase vehicles, a red Dodge Ram, that was escorting riders in case of a crash or mechanical troubles. The video, shot from one of the motorcyclists' helmet cams, caught the FWPD officer exiting his vehicle and, before approaching the truck, spraying something into traffic at the group of riders. WFAA News 8 spoke with the men responsible for the video, Jack Kinney and Chase Stone, via Skype from Longview, TX, on March 13. "It's the last thing I would expect to see," Kinney told the station. "His intent was to hit the bikers for sure, there's no doubt about it," said Stone. "His intent was to send somebody down, if not to cause a major accident with that spray". As the video went viral, receiving more than 200,000 views in 15 hours, people shared videos showing the group of motorcyclists riding in an irresponsible manner through traffic right before the alleged pepper spray incident. Fort Worth Police say they received numerous calls about the pack of riders from motorists on surrounding highways, with complaints ranging from weaving in and out of lanes to popping wheelies through traffic at high speed. News 8 asked Kinney and Stone if it was possible that the officer felt threatened. "If you're worried about safety, why would you pepper spray a large group of bikers like that?" asked Kinney. The Dallas Morning News identified the officer as W. Figueroa. Worth Police released an official statement about the incident late on the afternoon of March 13. They stated that the officer in question, a six-year FWPD veteran, had been relieved of his patrol duties and placed on desk duty pending the investigation. FWPD Corporal Tracey Knight also made a statement indicating that pepper-spraying drivers in oncoming traffic is not a department-sanctioned tactic.

Dodge vs. Chevy tug-of-war taken to the extreme
Mon, 17 Dec 2012They say "idle hands are the devil's playground," but said playgrounds grow to Disney-sized proportions when a pair of jacked-up trucks, two egos, a chain and an empty mall parking lot are involved. Proof of this is the video below, which shows a Cummins-powered Dodge Ram circa 2006 to 2008 chained tail-to-tail with what looks to be a gasoline-powered Chevrolet Silverado from the late 1990s or early 2000s.
We don't necessarily have to tell you who wins this battle, but we'll let you see for yourself the lengths the "winning" driver goes to prove his point. There's plenty of foul language in the video below, so beware that this might be Not Safe For Work, and not that we should have to tell you, but please, do not try this at home.
Consumer Reports says these are the worst new cars of 2014
Thu, 27 Feb 2014Consumer Reports has announced its annual list of worst vehicles, a cringe-inducing contrast to its list of top vehicles. Ignominiously leading the way in 2014 is Chrysler, which has a staggering seven models listed.
Jeep nearly sweeps the small SUV segment by itself, with its Compass, Patriot and 2.4-liter version of the new Cherokee, while the only midsize sedans listed by CR were the Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger. The new Dodge Dart and the Dodge Journey round out CR's condemnation of Chrysler.
Ford is taking heat as well, with the Taurus, Edge and their counterparts from Lincoln all listed as the worst vehicles in their respective segments. Toyota doesn't fare much better, with its Lexus IS, Scion iQ and tC also making the list.
