1957 Dodge Power Giant W100 V8 4x4 project truck.  No Rust at 54,000 miles!

Rare first year factory 4wd.   I think this is truck number 540 of about 600 made that year.  

These were the top dog in their day by combining the rugged and proven 4wd of the WWII Power Wagon with the modern style and impressive V8 power of the regular 2wd Dodge Truck line.  1957 was a one-year-only body style and very few V8 4wd trucks were ordered due to the high cost.  Fortunately, the U.S. Government bought quite a few for Forest Service, BLM, and Rural Fire.  This truck was a Forest Service Rural Fire unit.  The boys in the motor-pool knew this one was special so they gave it dual exhaust and a very nice Green Metal Flake.  

This truck has the first gen 318.  The motor starts and runs strong, but the carb needs a seal kit. It has the 4-speed manual, NP201 transfer case, first year Dana 44 axle, and first year Dodge 8-3/4" rear.  The brakes and steering need attention.  It can drive on a trailer, but should be gone through before hitting the highway.  The seats are a bit rough and need bolted down, but have nice covers.  The bed needs new wood.  Rear glass missing.  Overall this truck has awesome style and solid metal, it just needs those finishing details that I can't do since I am in a wheelchair now.  Please see pictures!

EXTRA passenger door included in the sale.  I also have a 1957 W200 parts chassis that is for sale (transfer case, drive lines, springs, axles, steering gear).  I have many other parts including extra fenders a 56 front clip, a 57 short box, and other early Dodge Truck parts that I need to clean out.  

CLEAR MONTANA TITLE is in my name.

This is a 'no-reserve' auction with no 'buy-it-now' price.  Highest bidder wins the truck.  Shipping is the buyers responsibility.  Truck is sold as is where is.  No rush to move it, but if you need more than 30 days please let me know and we can work something out.  Deposit due within 48 hours, remainder due in 7 days.  No payment plans.  Truck is located in Stevensville, MT  59870.  I hear uship.com has good shipping rates.

Thanks for checking out this cool old truck!

Small number of 2013 Chrysler 200 and Dodge Avenger models recalled

Sun, 24 Feb 2013

A small number of units of the 2013 Chrysler 200 (inset) and 2013 Dodge Avenger are being recalled over a broken control valve in the fuel tank assembly. The potential 1,785 sedans were manufactured late last year, and if affected with a broken control valve could suffer from stalling or fuel leakage.
A bulletin from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration notes that the recall should begin next month, at which time owners can take their cars to dealers for repair free of charge. The full release with more information is just below.

Old vs. New: 2014 SRT Viper takes on upgraded 16-year-old Dodge Viper

Fri, 08 Feb 2013

It's easy to play the "Would you rather have a New X or an Old Y with a bunch of upgrades?" game more often than we care to admit, but the crew at Car and Driver have taken bench racing to the next level with their latest video. In it, the magazine pits a brand-new 2014 SRT Viper against a highly modified 1997 Dodge Viper GTS. There are 16 years between the time this particular GTS rolled off the production line and when the new car bowed, but that doesn't mean the old snake's owners have been sitting on their hands.
Thanks to a spate of modifications, the GTS offers up a better power to weight ratio than the new machine, but is that enough to overcome the technological leap forward represented by the 2014 Viper? We won't spoil it for you. You'll just have to check out the full clip below for yourself.

Redonkulous Dodge Charger is ridin' high

Wed, 18 Sep 2013

We're a bit hazy on the styling of this particular donk, which was recently spotted hashing about by HotCarsTV at the Southern Heritage Classic Car show in Memphis. Sporting a dope paint job and some wheels that make a blunt statement about what the driver enjoys, it's a unique take on the popular customizing trend.
The owner may be kiefing it real with the theme on this Dodge Charger, but when your car looks like this, it's easy to weed out from the crowd. Chronic police stops must also make it a pain to drive on a regular basis, though. Even with the big wheels, we bet the driver still finds time to light 'em up. Take a look down below for a brief video of this outrageous mean green machine on the road.
