Up for sale is a 1951 Dodge B3-F series flatbed dully truck. This is NOT a show truck, but is a ton of fun and fully functional.

This truck is in decent original shape...a good survivor. Original color appears to have been dark blue, but was painted orange/red at some point. Paint is in poor shape...and looks like it may have been brushed on?

I was told it had been used at a local mandarin ranch for many years hauling cases of oranges during harvest. The previous owner stated that within the last 2 years the truck received four new tires, a rebuilt carb, the brakes were gone through and the new flatbed undercarriage was constructed. I can't confirm this is true, but things all seem to be working and the tires are in good shape. The new flatbed structure appears well done and measures 12 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide. I have done no mechanical work on this rig aside from new engine oil and trans/differential fluid. Have driven it about 25 miles in the last year or so...always fires up and chugs down the road. 45 MPH is the max I've had it to...

Body is in OK shape...minor dents and dings. no major rust. The driver door seam is splitting and the door check is broken so the door overextends when open and is dented because of this. Minor rust on the floorboards...no rust through or major issues. Seat cover is newer and in good shape. Glass is all there and in OK shape. Headliner is falling down.

This is a 6 volt system that at some point in the past was converted from positive ground to negative ground. fuel gage does not work, but all others (Speedo, odometer, voltmeter, temp) all seem to function properly.

Truck runs very smoothly, but need some tuning on the carb...bogs a bit w/o the choke partly opened while driving. it has never overheated on me and does not really seem to leak any fluids to speak of.

many of the vent/air/heater pulls are frozen and would need some coaxing to get working. Electric wipers do work.

My research shows the truck has the following:

236 cu in flat 6 developing 109 horsepower. (Engine number: T3I4-9I47)

4 speed manual on the floor

GVW is 13500lbs

Comes with a clear California title and current California tags (just paid). The VIN on the title matches a metal plate near the drivers side cowl/firewall in the engine bay. The serial number on the removable data plate on the door jamb number does not match this VIN...but the data plate may not be original to the truck.

Please don't expect perfection or a vehicle with no quirks. It really could use some tinkering to make sure all the systems are up to speed and in good shape.

If you are the winning bidder, please plan for appropriate transportation of the vehicle to your location before committing to bid. This is a BIG truck and I would guess prices will be higher than normal. It is likely not practical to drive this home unless you are very close to the Sacramento area. Also, please note that this truck MUST be picked up within 2 weeks of a winning bid...no exceptions. I have to move it out...

Full payment within 3 days of a winning bid via cash in person, Paypal or certified check.

Any questions please ask...I've tried to tell all that I know about this fun old truck.

Vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.

Thanks for looking...

What's the deal with Chrysler demanding colleges crush their Vipers? [w/video]

Fri, 07 Mar 2014

Students and teachers at a Washington community college are up in arms following an order from Chrysler that it must destroy the pre-production Dodge Viper that was donated to the school's automotive technology program ten years ago.
The Viper in question is said to be the fourth off the production line, based on its VIN, and has had its emissions controls disabled, allowing its ten-cylinder engine to produce 600 horsepower, according to a report from Yahoo! Autos. As one of the first Vipers ever produced, the school's AT instructors claim it could be worth $250,000 in a museum, while a local news report purports that Jay Leno once tried to purchase the car, but the sale was prevented by Chrysler.
As pointed out by our friends at Autobytel, though, there are a lot of things in this story that don't quite add up. Immediately noticeable from the news report embedded below - which shows the car at South Puget Sound Community College - is that the car in question is not a 1992 model. When the Viper went on sale in 1992, it was only available as an RT/10 with a (flimsy) soft top, like the red car shown above. But the car featured in the report from KING5 News (inset image) is clearly a hardtop Viper GTS, which didn't enter production until 1996. And even if, as reported by a local newspaper, the hardtop featured is a prototype, it doesn't explain the lack of another iconic feature of the first Vipers - their distinctive side pipes. This kind of pokes holes in the school's argument that this is the fourth Viper to ever roll down the line. At best, this appears to be a pre-production Viper GTS.

2014 Dodge Durango Ron Burgundy ads already have 2.7M views [w/videos]

Mon, 14 Oct 2013

The guy who once made the Dodge Stratus a punchline of sorts is now a spokesman for the 2014 Dodge Durango, and the move appears to be paying off handsomely for Dodge. Will Ferrell, acting as 1970s-era TV news personality Ron Burgundy, has teamed up with the automaker for co-branded advertisements between the refreshed 2014 Durango and Ferrell's new movie, Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues. Like Ferrell's fictional character, the ads are outrageous, flamboyant and a bit random. They're also successful: Automotive News says that more than 2.7 million people have already watched the videos since they debuted on October 5.
Those views are similar to the numbers that AN's top viral video of the year (e.g. Volkswagen's "Get Happy" Super Bowl ad) received, but there will eventually be as many as 70 videos comprising the Burgundy-Durango spots. According to the report, the videos were created primarily as a viral campaign online, although some are airing on television, too. For Dodge's part, the cost of the videos was significantly lower than a usual television campaign thanks to the fact that Ferrell wasn't paid for the spots since they were made in cooperation with promotional efforts for his new movie.
We've already posted a few of the videos in our previous post, but scroll down for several more - and head over to Adweek for a little added background on how these spots came to be.
