1958 Dodge Power Wagon/ Van Pelt Brush Truck. Fire body built and installed by P.E. Van Pelt Fire Engine Co. of Oakdale California in 1958. Believed to have served Walnut Creek, California area. This rig is in EXCELLENT condition. It runs, drives, stops, holds water and pumps as designed. The winch, siren and primer pump are functioning perfectly as well. I have owned and maintained this rig since 2001 and it always has been and is truly a "Turn-Key" vehicle. 17,727 miles showing. Believed accurate-odometer working. High quality paint over EXCELLENT straight and rust free sheet metal. This is not only my opinion, but the opinion of many people that have seen this rig at several shows. Dimensions: 18' 5" long. 83" wide. 6' 10" high. It fits under a standard 7' residential garage door. Federal Sign and Signal model #28 siren. Berkely "High Pressure Fog" pump mounted under rig and is PTO driven. Pumps well and does not leak. Functioning original 12v-120v inverter. A partial list of what I have done for maintenance since 2001: brake linings, hoses, wheel cylinders, rebuilt brake booster, rebuilt carburetor, points, plugs, wires, coil, etc. Fuel tank removed and cleaned. Water tank cleaned and coated. Couple places in water tank repaired with epoxy and whole tank interior sealed with POR15...the tank does not leak. Fluids have all been changed and several seals as well. Engine operates nicely, does not smoke or use oil, and it starts easily. It is not the original engine, but it is a 230 flathead as was original. Original engine serial number ground down and replaced with rebuilders tag. Link to video of rig pumping: search youtube for "van pelt power wagon". Fuel gauge does not work. It did, but I believe the cork float has disintigrated. Currently, there is no suction intake on the rig. The plumbing exists just past the hole shown at left rear, but there is no valve or connection for hard suction. It is capped off. Fill water tank with hose to pump water. The rest of the plumbing and valves all function well. No major oil leaks, but there is seepage from various seals. Vehicle located in Springfield, Illinois 62712. Not interested in shipping. Clear vehicle title in my name. Cash or mutually agreeable terms. Call with Questions. 217-720-3608 |

Challenger A/T Unlimited Concept could be your next Hellcat-powered ORV
Fri, 29 Aug 2014This past June I spent an excellent day hanging out with Joey Ruiter, driving and discussing his Reboot Buggy project. Before heading home, I let him know that he was more than welcome to keep me abreast of whichever new automotive project he'd get into. You can never have too many car designers and one-off fabricators in your Rolodex, right?
Ruiter recently made good with the follow-up, emailing me with details on this Dodge Challenger A/T Untamed Concept that pushes a lot of hot buttons for the muscle car and off-roading enthusiasts.
This all-terrain Mopar is a lot more than a Challenger body dropped on a truck chassis, too. A materialized version of the A/T would included a completely new, long-travel suspension, skid plates, body armor and rock sliders, and obviously flared fenders to help accommodate a hellacious set of off-road-ready tires. The dramatically revised underpinnings would be topped with a slick graphics package and a killer lower light bar, all making the A/T look quite cohesive in its own, radical way. And the result would be a car no longer limited to mere road-driving.
Chrysler expecting up to 200,000 9-speed transmissions for 3 models this year
Tue, 22 Jan 2013Striving for improved fuel economy, we already knew that Chrysler will begin using a nine-speed automatic transmission in some of its new products this year, but what we haven't known is that volume at which this gearbox will be used. According to Bloomberg, Chrysler CEO Sergio Marchionne has been quoted as saying that the automaker expects to sell close to 200,000 units equipped with this new transmission in 2013. Those gear-rich trannies will be spread out across three models, consisting of the redesigned Chrysler 200, the still-unnamed Jeep Liberty replacement and the Dodge Dart.
This transmission should play a pivotal role in making Chrysler vehicles more competitive in their respective segments. Just for comparison, one of the Dart's key competitors, the Toyota Corolla, still uses a four-speed automatic, and a previous report indicates that the next-generation 200 could get up to 38 miles per gallon on the highway, which is better than most non-hybrid midsize sedans on the market. Marchionne says that the new Jeep model is expected during the second quarter of this year, but there is no word as to when the new 200 or nine-speed Dart will debut, but clearly Dodge would like to have the transmission in its compact yesterday. As for that volume figure, it definitely doesn't seem out of reach since the Dart, Liberty and 200 combined for a total of more than 225,000 units in 2012.
How many more gears can we expect in future cars? Probably not many more, since the CEO of transmission-builder ZF, Stefan Sommer, previously stated that nine speeds was the "natural limit" for transmissions.
