Webster, Wisconsin, United States

 1958 Dodge W100 Power Giant restored to original condition.  A ground up restoration was completed in 2011.  I have included a photo of the chassis during the restoration process so you can see that it was media blasted, painted and the freshly rebuilt 6 cylinder engine.  The truck is an early year production indicated by single headlamps. 

Engine:  230 6 cylinder
Transmission: 3 speed column shift
Transfer case:  NP 91000 2 speed
Chassis:  108" wheel base (shortbox)
Gear ratio:  4.89:1
Differentials:  Spicer 44 front end and a Chrysler 8 3/4 rear end
Wheels:  17.5 x8
Paint:  Original colors:  Klondike Yellow and Sandel wood accent color
Radiator:  Honeycomb style

Extra factory equipment:  Inside rear view mirror, outside spare tire carrier, cigar lighter


Again this truck has been restored to original with exception to the wood bed.  Originally that was pine wood painted black.  I used oak wood and clear spar varnish, see photo.  The battery is a reproduction of the original, with caps.  Photo was taken when battery was out, battery does go with truck.  The speedometer was not turned back, but only  has about 300 miles on truck.  Also the photos may vary in color, I used two different cameras and for some reason colors appear to be brighter on one. 

1958 was the second year dodge came out with a civilian style four wheel drive truck for the public.  This truck was originally intended to be a work truck, built very solid.  With a gear ratio of 4.89 the top speed is about 45mph.  This truck was originally a County Truck in Arizona, and sat in the desert for many years prior to my purchase of it.  The body only had light surface rust, no rusted panels.  I purchased it and began a complete restoration that took 6 years.  Close attention was given to keep everything as it would of been from the factory. 

The truck runs and drives great, Very fun to drive around you will get thumbs up and lots of people wanting to stop and talk about it.  I have had so much fun showing this truck, great to show off a piece of our automotive history. 

Has a clear Wisconsin title.

Chrysler to accelerate production of 2013 Ram and V6 engines

Fri, 16 Nov 2012

Chrysler is adding a third shift at its Warren Truck plant to meet demand for the new 2013 Ram pickup. And with tight supplies of its Pentastar V6, the company is also boosting output at its Mack Engine plant.
The expansions will add 1,250 jobs and are part of a $238 million investment by Chrysler in the Detroit area. Warren's third shift will begin work sometime in the spring, a Chrysler rep told Automotive News. Mack's increased Pentastar production a could include both 3.6 and 3.2-liter engines.
The company says it also plans to invest $40 million in its Trenton Engine plant to allow for production of a 3.2-liter V6 as well as the Tigershark inline-four for the upcoming Jeep Liberty replacement.

Chrysler recalling 31k SUVs and vans

Fri, 06 Jun 2014

Chrysler is issuing recalls covering roughly 31,700 vehicles worldwide due to two separate problems. In both cases the company believes that most of the affected vehicles are either still on, or in transit to, dealer lots.
One recall covers roughly 10,700 Dodge Durango, Jeep Cherokee, Grand Cherokee and Grand Cherokee SRT models from the 2014 model year built between January 16 and April 17, 2014. The SUVs need a software update for the cruise control. It's possible that when the cruise is on and the driver presses on the throttle, the acceleration could last a second after the pedal is released or two seconds for the SRT. Afterward, they return to the speed originally set by the driver.
Chrysler says it isn't aware of any accidents, injuries or even reported incidents of this happening in the real world. Also, in all cases, if the driver presses on the brake, the cruise shuts off. The automaker believes that there are about 6,100 affected SUVs in the US, 950 in Canada, 425 in Mexico and 3,200 outside of North America. The software upgrade will be ready shortly, the company says.

Dodge celebrates big B-day with 100th Anniversary Editions muscle cars

Wed, 20 Nov 2013

Being in business for 100 years is a HUGE milestone, so we hope Dodge has more in mind to celebrate its centennial than just a special edition package for the 2014 Charger and Challenger. Called the 100th Anniversary Edition package, this collection of cosmetic enhancements will be available in limited quantities for both cars at a cost of $2,500.
Ordering a Charger or Challenger with the 100th Anniversary Edition package means starting with either a V6-powered SXT Plus or V8-powered R/T Plus model. They can each be ordered in many colors, but only the High-Octane Red Pearl Coat above is an anniversary exclusive. Each car also comes with an anniversary-exclusive set of 20-inch, five-spoke wheels with what Dodge calls "Granite Crystal pockets," a texture that's also mirrored on each car's grille.
Of course, there are commemorative badges galore affixed to the exterior of each car, including "Dodge Est. 1914" fender badges and "100" logos on the center caps of each wheel. The styling theme of each car's interior is a bit more interesting, with Dodge designers trying to evoke "the patina and machinist legacy of John and Horace Dodge," the company's founders. To that end, the leather interior can be had in Molten Red or Foundry Black Nappa, and each features a custom cloud overprint that makes the hide look like a working man's dirty dungarees. Designers also used brass-colored accent stitching on the interior's leather trim pieces, and affixed more "Dodge Est. 1914" badges to the front seat backs and floor mats. We do like the flat-bottomed steering wheel, and the Challenger 100th Anniversary Edition gets exclusive white gauges faces and the Charger black. The "100" on each car's speedometer is also highlighted in red.
