See a short video at my youtube channel youtube.com/watch?v=TQ11xxgH3yE or search DodgeM887.

The Good: 
Dana 44 in front with disc brakes, Dana Spicer 60 in rear with drums.
318 v8, Automatic. 
4wd is all time has low loc, low, neutral, high, high loc. When in neutral the truck will not move. It has to be in high or low. It is a nice system like some jeeps have.
Ex-military M887 (tool truck) then it was a Missouri Fire truck. Now it has a flat bed that I put on.
32,700 original miles. Not rolled over odometer.
It has extra springs in the back so it is more like a 1 ton.
Was a western truck so no rust rot anywhere. Solid floors, rockers, cab, doors, ect. Fresh resto and repaint over this winter. It is now a charcoal gray metallic with Flat black flat bed, grill, wheels, bumpers. Bed liner on floor, bumpers, wheels, and flatbed frame.
Interior is black. No dash cracks. Has government plate still on dash.
New head gaskets, intake gaskets, valve seals on rebuilt heads. Valve guides are good, no smoke.
Reman 2bbl. carb. (older)
New brake pads, shoes, lines, master cylinder, front calipers.
New coil and cap and rotor.
No air, no smog stuff, manual steering. That is the way the US Gov. ordered it. You can buy the power steering stuff at a junk yard or new if some one wanted to convert it to power steering. I never needed it. I turns easy enough without power. Less to break down. You can easily upgrade to power steering in one afternoon and a few parts and a little money.
Factory plastic gas tank so it won't rust out. 

Runs great, drives great, for what it is. It starts right up. It is not a 2005 so don't think that it is going to run and ride like a modern truck. It is a heavy duty work truck and it is 36 years old so that means stiff ride, loose steering, road noise. Anyone who has driven a classic knows this comes with the territory. But it also means cheap to repair like $20 calipers, $40 rotors, $80 alternator....and no $350 fuel pump or $250 hub bearings and you can do it yourself in a matter of minutes to hours. Heck you could swap the whole engine and trans yourself in one day. It also has in my opinion better axles. These Dodge truck are about the same parts from 1973 to about 1993 when they changed styles so parts interchange. 
Has wide 16.5 steel wagon wheels. It has 33x12.5 tires. Comes with an extra set of the original narrower steel wheels (olive green) and military tires.
Looks great. Hard to find one of these trucks without total rust rot everywhere. 

The Bad:
It does have a trans leak at the pan or maybe the seal where the shift lever goes in. It shifts and drives no problem and it will not affect the function of the transmission ever. It is not a expensive fix, you don't even have to fix it. The fluid is not burned.
The dash light is out. 
The speedo bounces as the cable gets full of crud over time. I am soaking it in PB blaster which often fixes that. If not then you can ignore it or buy a new cable. The speed is also off a bit as the tires are larger than stock.

Other stuff:
It sat around my house for 6 years and was only driven on the property or on short trips into town, like less then 10 miles. It was never used at all some years. That is why I want to sell it, I am not using it and have too much stuff. It always started up and like I said above I replaced some parts. It could use at least a 1 inch body or susp. lift.

I am selling it as-is so if you live 3 hours away, I think you should trailer it going that far. Not because there is anything mechanically wrong, just incase something stupid like a radiator hose blows, or alternator quits or whatever. A cheap, quick easy fix near home turns into a pain 3 hours away and makes you unhappy with me. I don't want that! Trailer it unless you don't want to that is up to you. If you live local, feel free to drive it home. It will be better than the other 200K mile 90's 4x4 rust bombs out there for this price! 
It is a great sold truck.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

2015 Dodge Challenger configurator has all the Hellcat you can dream of

Mon, 08 Sep 2014

The 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has sucked up a lot of air in the automotive news world this summer, so it's good to know that you can actually go out and, you know, buy the sucker. With 2015 models headed for your local showroom, Dodge has seen fit to also pull the wraps off it's latest Challenger configurator, complete with the supercharged Hemi V8 option that we just can't seem to get enough of.
We're still enamored of the $58,995 starting price for the 707-horsepower SRT, but the online tool finally gives us a chance to see just how optioned up our dream super-muscle coupe can get.
Buyers can choose from three interior treatments and nine paint colors, with two hues (Ivory White and Phantom Black tri-coats) coming for a $500 premium. For $1,795 Laguna Leather SRT bucket seats can be added in place of the (very nice) stock chairs, and a fancier infotaiment system with navigation and HD radio runs $695.

Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected

Thu, Jul 8 2021

MILAN — Stellantis softened up investors ahead of its electrification strategy event on Thursday by flagging that 2021 got off to a better-than-expected start despite a chip shortage that has hit automakers worldwide. Stellantis, which was formed in January from the merger of Italian-American automaker Fiat Chrysler and France's PSA, faces an investor community keen to hear how it plans to come up with a range of electrified vehicles (EVs) to rival Tesla. At its "EV Day 2021" kicking off at 1230 GMT, Stellantis will disclose significant investments in electrification technology and connected software as it aims to be an industry frontrunner, it said in a statement. In April, Chief Executive Carlos Tavares said it would offer low-emission versions — either battery or hybrid electric — of almost all of its European models by 2025, and they should make up 70% of European sales and 35% of U.S. sales by 2030. Stellantis, the world's fourth-biggest automaker, has 14 brands in its stable, including Jeep, Ram, Opel, Fiat, Peugeot and Maserati.   Stellantis EV Day coverage: Dodge will launch the 'world's first electric muscle car' in 2024 Fully electric Ram 1500 will begin production in 2024 Jeep will have 4xe plug-in hybrid models across the lineup by 2025 Stellantis teases mystery electric Chrysler concept Stellantis previews 4 electric platforms: Here's how they'll be used Fiat says all Abarth models to be electric from 2024 Opel Manta E will be the electric revival of the classic German coupe Stellantis says its 2021 performance has been better than expected   At a similar EV strategy event last week, French rival Renault announced that 90% of its main brand models would be all-electric by 2030, whereas previously it had included hybrids in its target. Germany's Volkswagen, the world's second-biggest automaker after Toyota, expects all-electric vehicles to make up 55% of its total sales in Europe by 2030, and more than 70% of sales at its Volkswagen brand. Stellantis said its margins on adjusted operating profits in the first half of 2021 were expected to exceed an annual target of between 5.5% and 7.5%, despite production losses due to a global shortage of semiconductor supplies. Stellantis shares listed in Milan were down 2.6% at 0920 GMT, underperforming the broader European car index. Bestinver analyst Marco Opipari said Thursday's news was positive but that the stock was suffering from profit taking as it had moved up about 20% since the end of April.
