Springfield, Illinois, United States
|
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 |

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. Scroll down to read the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration press release.
Chrysler celebrates 30 years of minivans with special editions
Tue, 03 Sep 2013It's been known by many names: the Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Caravan, Plymouth Voyager, Chrysler Voyager, Lancia Voyager, Volkswagen Routan, Ram Cargo Van... but the bottom line is that Chrysler's minivans have defined the segment for 30 years now. In fact, Chrysler says it has sold 13 million of them since 1983, helped along by the Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan that accounted for nearly half of all minivans sold in the United States just last year. So to celebrate this three-decade milestone, the Auburn Hills auto has announced a pair of new special editions.
The 2014 Chrysler Town & Country 30th Anniversary Edition starts the Touring-L trim and includes such special touches as 17-inch wheels, unique badging, available Granite Crystal Pearl paint and an interior decked out in black Alcantara and Nappa leather, piano black trim and all the optional bells and whistles bundled in.
The 2014 Dodge Grand Caravan 30th Anniversary Edition, meanwhile, starts off with either the SE or SXT trims and also upgrades with 17-inch alloys as well as color-keyed mirrors and an interior with silver stitching, piano black trim, power everything, and of course, those special badges.
2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat revealed [UPDATE]
Wed, 13 Aug 2014Almost immediately after we drove the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat, we began wondering: what's next? Pumping 707 horsepower into the Challenger seemed so crazy - and so intoxicating - we just assumed that Dodge would try that trick again.
Rumors swirled about a Charger Hellcat. Frankly it makes even more sense than the Challenger version. The Charger is a bigger car, and Dodge has never been shy about dropping monster engines under its hood. Hell (cat), we've seen Charger mules running around town that appeared to be the super sedan.
And finally, it's here. The 2015 Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat was revealed today at a preview event near Detroit, and it will be a centerpiece of the Chrysler display this weekend at the Woodward Dream Cruise.
