1970 Dodge D400 Sweptline Truck Stake Bed Power Wagon Chassis 225 V6 Low Miles on 2040-cars
Morning Sun, Iowa, United States
|
Up for bid is a really nice 1970 Dodge D400 Sweptline Truck with 82,800 original miles. It is in very good condition with no rust holes or rot on the body or chassis. The pictures speak for themselves and I think it actually looks better in person! It started life as a Navy truck (hence the blue interior) and then put into service at a fire department as a stake bed. Has been farmer owned ever since. It was stored inside since new and was NEVER driven in the winter. The body is very nice and doesn't have any dents or rust. There are a few holes from old signage or accessories but most have been plugged. The frame is still almost completely black. The stake bed is approx. 14' long and all the wood is in excellent condition. The interior is all there and complete. The dash is in excellent condition and isn't all chewed up like most of these that you see with radio holes, etc. The floors are rock solid and still have the original rubber floor mat. The seat bottom and back are in perfect condition. There is some minor cracking on the sidewall of the seat but nothing major. All glass including the windshield is good. This truck always starts right up and runs great! The 225 Slant 6's are bulletproof motors and I am amazed how quiet and smooth this truck runs. There are no major leaks, doesn't smoke, idles great, and the choke works. All gauges work, all lights work, and all the interior decals are in good shape. Like new Interstate Battery with a cut off switch installed in case you want to store it for a long time. It has the NP435 4spd manual trans that shifts smoothly in every gear. Clutch works well, brakes work but could maybe use a little adjusting. 18,500 GVWR so it will haul quite a large payload with the rear HYP01D axle. I have owned several of these throughout the years and none have had a nicer cab, interior, or frame. I bought this truck about 1 year ago for the cab and the interior to swap it onto a W600 project that I have. I really hate to sell this thing but I've decided that this truck is just too nice and complete to cut apart. I found another cab I can use on my project so it's time to pass this one along. Clean and clear title and all VIN plates are intact on the truck. This will sell with NO RESERVE to the high bidder so bid to win! Any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call at 563-676-2032. $100 paypal deposit due within 48 hours and full payment due in cash in person within 7 days unless other arrangements are made prior to the end of the listing. If you need it delivered, I have a big trailer and could maybe help out with the delivery for a fee within 300 miles depending on where you are.

Chrysler earns $1.7B in 2012, revises product plans for US
Wed, 30 Jan 2013Hot on the heels of Ford's earnings announcement for the year that was, Chrysler today reported a 2012 net income of $1.7 billion, up substantially from the comparatively minuscule $183 million profit earned in 2011 when it repaid its US government loans.
Chrysler's good year ended with an excellent fourth quarter that saw net income rise 68 percent from $225 million in 2011 to $378 million. Where are all those extra earnings coming from? Market share, which Chrysler saw increase to 11.4% last year on sales of 1.65 million vehicles. In fact, the Auburn Hills, MI-based automaker out-paced the industry's market growth of 13 percent last year with sales up 21 percent for the year.
The company also revealed an updated product plan for its Chrysler Group and Fiat brands that looks all the way out to 2016. It's an updated version of the plan introduced in 2009 shortly after Fiat took control of the American automaker, and includes such new additions as an Alfa Romeo model, likely the 4C, to be introduced in the US this year, as well five more Alfa models by 2016. Likewise, Fiat will be growing by an additional seven models in the coming few years.
Dodge lets us drive 100-years' worth of history [w/videos]
Thu, 03 Jul 2014
A raft of important production models from the last hundred years were available for me to either drive or ride in.
Dodge is 100 years old this year. So, as happened on Ford's recent centennial, the 50-year birthday of the Porsche 911, and others, the company has an excuse to trot out the highlights of its history next to its upcoming model lineup, and declare that "these are the fruits of the Dodge Boys' tree whose roots have grown strong." Or something like that. Never so hampered by marketing skepticism that I'll pass up the opportunity to burn someone else's rubber, I was happy to drive out to Meadow Brook Hall in Rochester Hills, MI - former grand estate of the Dodge family - to hear the spiel.
2015 Dodge Viper getting small increase in power
Tue, 29 Jul 2014The Viper is used to being the most powerful car in the Dodge and SRT stables, but the arrival of the 2015 Dodge Challenger SRT Hellcat means that's no longer the case. The serpentine supercar is, however, reportedly getting a small boost in output for 2015, amounting to all of five horsepower.
The increase was uncovered by Road & Track courtesy of the SAE J1349 certification process to which Detroit's Big Three automakers submit themselves and which reports the Viper's output at 645 hp instead of the 640 it was rated at until now. There are a hundred factors that could have contributed to the relatively mild boost in output (best guess? nothing at all changed...), but we doubt anyone's going to complain about some extra horses under the hood.
The five-horsepower boost brings the Viper that much closer to the 650-hp Chevy Corvette Z06, not to mention the 707-hp Hellcat, but the Viper's impressive power-to-weight ratio ought to mean it'll have little problem keeping up in a straight line - which is just one of the reasons why Chrysler won't shoe-horn the Hellcat into the Viper: as R&T points out, the supercharged engine is too heavy and the blower makes it too tall to fit in the Viper's engine bay.
