Up for auction is a great old truck, when a truck was really a truck. My father had these growing up and I wrecked several of them. I saw this a few years ago and bought it for him. It came from Montana where it was a State truck used for fighting brush fires. The truck sat inside all the winters and only used in the summer when needed. Which explains how solid it is and the original, low mileage. When I got the truck I put on a power steering unit and sprayed the inside of the box with fresh paint and then put on a bed liner. He has used it as a second vehicle when needed, a few loads of wood in the winter or if needed to haul something. I put a new starter on the other day and over the past few years he put in a new battery and alternator as well. It has over a thousand dollars in tires while still looking like brand new. He rarely uses it these days and it's getting harder for him to get in and out. He's selling this and his little Ford Focus and going into a smaller Colorado truck.
There's nothing wrong with the truck. Starts everyday even in the winters. I would drive the truck anywhere. It has always been very reliable... It has the very durable 360 in it with the automatic transmission. The truck is unstoppable. Anyone that knows these trucks knows these were built like a truck should be.
Any out of Staters that are interested, once paid for it can sit here as needed to line up transportation. I will help on my end as needed. Any questions please ask, other than what the reserve is. You know what these are worth as well as I do.

1970 Hemi Challenger is a family heirloom with serious muscle
Wed, Dec 30 2015Petrolicious turns up the emotion in its latest video about a family's connection to their 1970 Dodge Challenger. The orange muscle car that gets the spotlight here is a remarkably beautiful vehicle, but the story of a father and his sons at the core of this clip might leave you feeling a little misty eyed. Juan Escalante is the current owner of this Challenger, but it belonged to his dad first. Juan's father spotted the iconic muscle car during the 1969 Detroit Auto Show and had to have one. He soon placed an order for the orange '70 Challenger R/T with the rare combination for that year of a 426 Hemi V8 and a four-speed manual gearbox. The family even brought the coupe with them when they moved to Venezuela in 1972, and local fans dubbed it El Hemi. However, parts were scarce for the muscle car in that country, and it returned to the US in 1996 for a restoration. Now, the rumbling Challenger with its Coke-bottle profile and black hood is the world's most awesome family heirloom for the Escalantes. In this poignant video, Petrolicious shows how the coupe connects Juan to his father. Related Video:
Chrysler recalling over 280k minivans because airbags may deploy on wrong side
Mon, 08 Jul 2013Chrysler has issued a recall for some 2013 Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan and Ram C/V Tradesman vans built between May 10, 2012 and June 7, 2013. These vehicles may have a software error that would cause the wrong side (opposite side) airbags to deploy in a crash. With this defect, a left-side impact would cause the right-side airbag to deploy, etc.
The recall affects 281,500 vehicles in total: 224k in the US, 49,300 in Canada, 2,900 in Mexico and 5,300 in other locations. Chrysler will notify owners of effected vehicles, and reflash the offending occupant restraint control module to resolve the issue.

2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat has 707 glorious horsepower [w/video]
Tue, 01 Jul 2014Hold onto your butts. "600-plus horsepower" is what we were told to expect from the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT with its 6.2-liter supercharged Hellcat V8 engine. But as we've just learned, those were incredibly conservative numbers. Dodge has officially announced that the range-topping Challenger will hit the asphalt with 707 - seven hundred and seven - horsepower, making it the "most powerful muscle car ever."
Of course, 707 hp is only part of the story, as the Hellcat has also been confirmed to produce 650 pound-feet of torque. All that power will run exclusively to the rear wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission that differs from other Challengers. The new gearbox, 8HP90 (rather than the 8HP70) is "upgraded to handle the extra power and torque," says Dan Reid, SRT's manager of product design and motorsports.
We certainly hope you're prepared to spend a ton of money replacing tires.
