1961 Dodge Power Wagon Wm300 Flat Fender on 2040-cars
|
All original, unrestored driver. This truck was bought new by the Bordens Milk Co. in NYC. It was a tow truck used to recover their broken DIVCO delivery trucks. The lettering is still visible on the doors. It was sold off to a private owner in upstate NY in the late 70s. It later found its way down to a NJ farm where it sat for many years in the barn. This is what helped to preserve the truck so well. It is all complete and all original to the best of my knowledge. I have removed and stored the tow boom to make it into a regular pickup. The rear crash bumper was removed and scrapped. Clean NJ title.
The cab is very solid. The only cab rust that exists is in the right boot cowl. Its at the bottom edge and is a very easy repair. The front fenders are solid as is the hood. The rear fenders have been patched several times over the years. The running boards are in good shape. The bed is also in good shape, but needs a new bed floor and strips. These are easily procurable through Vintage Powerwagon or MarKay. The tailgate needs some rust repair or replacement. I have a used tailgate to replace it. All the lights and accessories work with the exception of the wipers and gas gauge. The front bumper has the Braden winch mounted, but i never finshed installing the remaining parts to get it working. i have everything but cable. The interior needs to be restored however all the original hardwear and trim is included. as well as the original Budd lugnut wrench and jack! The drive line i belive to be original to the truck. The engine runs great. No smoke or noises. It runs nice in all temperatures. It has the original "rare" overflow coolant tank. The brake master cyl was rebuilt as well as the power brake booster. The brake assemblies where all cleaned lubed and reassembled with new wheel cyls. These brakes work awsome. The gear box is solid and has a synco between 2nd and 3rd. The 4x4 works great and the front axle has unlockable hubs. The tires are in good shape and all hold air. The stearing is nice and tight as well as the front end. No wobbles or noise. This truck is running and driving perfect. I was enjoying this truck as a survior and was taking it to many car shows. She brought home a couple of survior trophies too. This is the perfect powerwagon to enjoy and restore down the road, or tear right in and make it a pristine example! I had all intetions of keeping this forever, but life gets in the way sometimes. Im not desperate to sell. I will be happy to answer any questions you may have. But please dont waste my time and yours if you are just kicking tires. Thank you |

NHTSA probing Ram recall pace, communication
Tue, 28 Oct 2014The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration has announced that it's looking into Chrysler Group's handling of a pair of recalls affecting roughly one million Ram pickup trucks. Reuters is reporting that the regulatory agency is focusing on the availability (or lack thereof) of parts and "poor communications" from the automaker in its investigation.
"Customers have been advised in accordance with the regulations governing recalls," Chrysler spokesman Eric Mayne told Reuters via email. "We are continually replenishing our supply of replacement parts. Chrysler Group regrets any inconvenience our customers may have experienced."
NHTSA disagrees, arguing that the recalls, which affect 972,000 trucks from 2003 to 2012, are being delayed by the lack of parts.
2015 Dodge Charger priced from $27,995, Hellcat from $63,995*
Sun, 19 Oct 2014Ladies and gentlemen, let's get the most salient bit of information out of the way right off the bat: $63,995*. That's the amount of money Dodge dealers will be asking for (at the very least, naturally) for a 2015 Charger Hellcat (*plus $995 for destination on all pricing figures). That rather reasonable sum will bring home its buyer a 6.2-liter Hemi V8 engine boasting a supercharger to post such gaudy figures as 707 horsepower and 650 pound-feet of torque, leading to a top speed of 204 miles per hour to go along with an NHRA-certified quarter-mile time of 11.0 seconds.
With that out of the way, the rest of the 2015 Dodge Charger pricing information breaks down as follows: $27,995 will deliver a sedan with a 292-horsepower 3.6-liter Pentastar V6 engine, mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission. Moving up one step of the ladder nets the buyer an SXT model with the same engine, but a nicer chunk of technology and optional equipment for a $2,000 premium. All-wheel drive adds another $3,000. Hemi V8-powered R/T models now boast an eight-speed transmission bolted to the same well-loved 370-horsepower engine as before, for a base price of $32,995.
The SRT 392 model that had hitherto been the top-performing Charger brings with it an asking price of $47,385 while bargain hunters can equip a Charger R/T Scat Pack machine with that same 485-horsepower 6.4-liter Hemi, albeit with somewhat less posh interior bits and pieces, the removal of the 392's adjustable suspension and hi-po wheel and tire package for $39,995.
Dodge and Jeep recalling 895k SUVs for possibility of headliner fires
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Dodge and Jeep are announcing recalls of a total of 895,000 Durango and Grand Cherokee models worldwide from the 2011 through 2014 model years. There's a possibility that the wiring in the sun visor can short circuit and cause a fire. It specifically affects vehicles built between January 5, 2010, and December 11, 2013, and there are approximately 651,000 of them in the US, 45,700 in Canada, 23,000 in Mexico and 175,000 outside of North America.
Screws that fasten the sunvisor to the headliner may pierce wires in the visor, if the part has been removed or serviced, potentially causing a fire risk. If the wires short circuit, they could overheat and potentially combust. The automakers report three injuries caused by this defect, and according to the investigation by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, "there may be a total of 52 unique fire incidents."
To fix the problem, Dodge and Jeep will inspect the vehicles for suspect wiring, and all of the models, whether damaged or not, will get a new sun visor spacer with a wire guide to stop the possibility of short circuits. According to the automakers' announcement, "this condition is not present in vehicles which have not had the headliner or vanity mirror serviced." They will notify affected owners, and repairs will begin in August.
