1991 Dodge Crew Cab Diesel Cummins 4x4 on 2040-cars
Yorba Linda, California, United States
So if your looking for a first generation crew cab,this project this might be of interest to you. Its a 1991 that was professionally converted to a crew cab by Salem Kroger in Red Bluff California. The frame was cut and lengthened in order to accommodate the crew cab. All running gear is the 1991 factory gear. Mechanically the truck runs and drives good. The motor starts right up and does not appear to have any modifications done to it. It has the diesel version of the 727 three speed auto trans (no overdrive), it shifts smooth, records show it was rebuilt when the truck had about 46k miles on it. Brakes, drums, rotors, and master cylinder have all been recently redone. The cab, doors, fenders and hood of the truck are pretty straight but has peeling paint. The roof drip rail does have some rust issues on the front passenger side. The front doors have electric windows and locks with the back being manual. The interior of the truck is complete but not in good condition. The head liner is sagging, the front seat needs to be reupholstered, at a minimum the carpet cleaned, the door panels in the front are loose and need attachment clips. All of the gauges work, it also has an aftermarket boost and EGT and electric brake controller. The factory windshield wiper switch on the column and the horn do not work. The wipers run off a separate toggle switch. The exterior of the bed is also pretty straight but the interior is not in great condition. The truck has been used most of its life as a work truck for a landscaping company so the bed is well worn with cracking in several areas. May be able to be repaired or easier to replace. If you looking for a 1st gen crew cab it may be easier to start with this as most of the heavy lifting is done and is factory, rather than convert an old one. Thanks for looking and you can call me with any questions 714-394-2776.

1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express in Generation Gap showdown with 1933 Ford Pickup
Fri, 18 Jul 2014Auto enthusiasts love a good debate, whether it's Mustang versus Camaro or Ferrari against Lamborghini. But how about a battle between two very different vintages of classic pickup trucks? In this case, the fight is between a 1979 Dodge Li'l Red Express and a 1933 Ford Model 46 truck with a flathead V8.
The shootout comes courtesy of the internet series Generation Gap, and its concept is super-simple. One guy prefers classics, and the other likes newer rides. They choose a category, pick two vehicles and put them head to head. In this case, neither is exactly modern, though. The Ford is more than old enough to receive Social Security checks, and the Dodge is hardly a young whippersnapper.
Other than both being pickups, these two models were made to serve very different functions. The Li'l Red Express was basically the progenitor of today's muscle trucks, with a big V8 that made it one of the quickest new models in its day (admittedly, 1979 was a rough time for automotive performance). On the other hand, the '33 Ford was just meant to work, with little pretense for anything else. One of the hosts describes it as "the simplest, most difficult" vehicle he's driven because of the tricky double clutchwork necessary to shift gears. Scroll down to watch the video and try to decide which of these two American classics you would rather have in your garage.
2015 Dodge Challenger Drag Pak previewed
Fri, 29 Aug 2014Dodge and Mopar have never strayed far from success in drag racing, be it on run-what-you-brung nights at the local strip or at the highest levels of the sport. Hoping to both add to that heritage and capitalize on some of the media spotlight that's shown so brightly on the brand of late, Dodge has given us our first look at the 2015 Mopar Challenger Drag Pak test car.
Though this first iteration doesn't make use of the 707-horsepower Hellcat engine, it seems to be a pretty formidable racing package. Starting with a stock '15 Challenger, Mopar adds a full roll cage built to National Hot Rod Association specs. Rubber front and back is drag racing-ready as well, with 28x4.5-inch tires in the front, and fat 30x9-inch tires out back - all from Hoosier.
Powering the beast is a massive 426-cubic-inch (7.0-liter) Hemi Race V8, with output levels that are still unspecified. A Chrysler 727 automatic transmission connects up to a racing style shift lever, with integral line lock.
Watch 1,414-hp worth of Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat do stereo burnouts
Tue, 08 Jul 2014When Dodge announced that the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat would produce 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque from its supercharged 6.2-liter V8, automotive enthusiasts were shocked. The company had promised us that it would be powerful, but no one expected for the muscle car to post even larger numbers than the range-topping Viper.
Car and Driver recently got ahold of two new SRTs and decided that the only proper way to show them off was by lighting up the rears in stereo. With a combined 1,414 horsepower, the pair of them make burnouts from the Hellcat V8 look as easy as breathing. The tires start spinning at the slightest provocation and just don't stop. If you buy one of these, it looks like you and the employees at the local tire store are going to be on a first name basis.
Scroll down to watch these two Hellcats to lay down enough smoke to alert the local hook and ladder trucks.
