1974 Dodge D100 old shop truck with awesome patina

Well, here is a Dodge D100 shop truck for sale.  It’s so ugly that it’s beautiful.  It really has that patina that people seem to be looking for in a shop truck or rat-rod.  She is a reliable driver – just bump the key and go.  She gets a lot of attention – if you want stealthy, this isn’t for you.

The truck runs and drives well with its 225 slant six engine and automatic trans.  The brakes are power assisted front disc and rear drums and I would not hesitate to fire it up and drive it around the local community here.  I drive it to and from the auto parts store and other local errands.  Be aware that the tires are getting old and I am seeing cracks, so before any substantial journey, it really should be tended to.  The set of 4 Cragar SS wheels are straight and have a matching patina.  Note also that the windshield is starting to fog, so that should be in your plans.  It has new brake lines.

The dash gauges (fuel and DC ammeter) work fine and the previous owner added a 3-way gauge setup under the dash including oil pressure, water temp and volts – and these work well, too.  The truck runs cool and constant temp and oil pressure.  The dash is in ugly shape and there is no radio and the seat is covered with a simple cover since the original seat upholstery is falling apart – perfect.  The horn button is a replacement and is mounted on the lower dash area – and yes, it works.

Technically, she could use some attention.  The frame rails are in good shape – could use a wire brush, and it should get floor pans on both sides.  I have 2 pieces of sheetmetal in the floors now and I have seen the replacement panels as cheap as $34 here on ebay.  I drive it as-is.  Obviously, there is some rust here and there, but that’s what gives it it’s character.  Operationally, the headlights, taillights, blinkers and even the reverse lights and tag light works.  The right turn signal – you have to hold the lever in position – I presume it should get a switch at some point, but it still works.  The windshield wipers do not – the motor works, but the wiper linkage needs attention; you can see the passenger wiper sitting on the floor in one of the pictures.  The bed was originally wood plank (and you can see this from the under-pictures) but has a piece of diamond plate in the bed now.

She has a clear MD title – and in some weird twist the MVA years ago had titled it as a 1970!  So, don’t be surprised when you see that on the title – the VIN matches the door, the lock pillar and the title – all matching.  The VIN decode indicates it is a 1974 model.

As the auction states, this is cash only (other than the PayPal deposit).  If you want to pay for the entire truck via PayPal, you can – but that requires that you add the PayPal fee that would be charged to me – about 3% additional.  It can be picked up from my home in East Baltimore.  If you want it shipped, I can meet your assigned shipping truck locally, no problem.

eBay Find of the Day: 1994 Dodge Viper RT/10 with 504 miles

Tue, 26 Nov 2013

It's typically hard to find early examples of the Dodge Viper that haven't been crashed or modified, but one eBay seller has a showroom-fresh version of the V10 roadster up for sale worthy of an eBay Find of the Day.
With just 504 miles on the odometer (according to the description and not the images) and "no defects at all," this 1994 Viper is a rare find indeed. Tack on the Buy It Now price of just $37,500 and it seems like a steal - especially when checking out the prices and conditions of other early Vipers currently listed on eBay.
Even after spending months ogling the all-new 2014 SRT Viper, it's hard to ignore the raw beauty of the original open-top model. From the three-spoke wheels to the calf-searing side pipes, everything about this Viper looks just the way it did when it rolled off the line almost 20 years ago. The seller even says that the top and windows have never been installed meaning there are no scratches anywhere on this car!

Dodge Scat Packages add Mopar performance upgrades in three stages

Wed, 06 Nov 2013

Dodge has revealed what it calls Scat Package Stage Kits that enhance the performance of the Charger and the Challenger equipped with the 5.7-liter V8, and the Dart equipped with the turbocharged 2.4-liter inline four-cylinder engine. The Scat Packs use Mopar performance parts that also can be bought separately. Most of the upgrades increase engine output, but Dodge somehow manages to not specifically mention the power gains associated with each Scat Pack.
The three Scat Packs offered for the V8-powered cars focus on higher power ratings, and each stage comes complete with a unique engine-management calibration to optimize output. Stage one comes with a cold-air intake and a cat-back exhaust; stage two adds a performance camshaft; and stage three really gives you the goods, adding ported polished cylinder heads and performance headers.
For the Dart, the Scat Packs focus on engine, transmission, chassis and brake upgrades. Stage one will net you a cold-air intake, a short-throw shifter and slotted rotors with performance brake pads; stage two adds a cat-back exhaust system and an engine-management calibration to increase output by taking advantage of premium-octane gasoline; and stage three adds 13-inch vented brake discs up front clamped by four-piston calipers, suspension with adjustable springs and struts and performance front and rear antiroll bars.

How to turn a Dodge airport tug into a trail slayer

Sun, 16 Nov 2014

Sometimes, having a ton of fun requires takes a ton of work. Just nine days before the so-called Ultimate Adventure 2014, the folks behind 4-Wheel & Off-Road had 40 tasks to complete in order to turn the ratty truck pictured above into a machine that could excel on treacherous off-road trails while still being able to handle highway jaunts. Much of process behind the build was chronicled on the latest episode of Dirt Every Day.
The team's vehicle started life as a 1990 Dodge tug truck that spent part of its life hauling around airplanes. The builders hung on to the Cummins six-cylinder diesel, but they tossed out practically everything else for the project, with some seriously heavy-duty replacement parts for the transmission, transfer case, axles and a whole lot more. The process was certainly a ton of work, but the end result looks like a fantastic crawler.
Sure, it might have been easier to bring a truck that was already prepared, but where would the fun in that have been? Stay tuned until the end of the video for a few glimpses of the completed Dodge and peek at some of the punishment it goes through.
