Grass Lake, Michigan, United States
|
Up for sale is a very nice 1938 Dodge pickup. This truck was built over the winter by Altered Image and it was a ground up build. It is ground down raw metal with 3 coats of semi gloss clear sprayed over top. I have had the truck at quite a few shows this year and have received a few trophies and tons of interest from people and other builders. I have put about 650 miles on the truck since it was finished and it runs and drives really nice for what it is. The truck runs along great at 65-70 mph on the expressway and you can idle in traffic all day and the temp with stay around 180-190 degrees. The truck drives straight down the road and corners very nice.90% of the truck consist of new parts and I have all receipts for the complete build as well as a ton of pictures that will go to the new owner. Just for reference I am 6' tall and roughly 180 pounds and I drive the truck everywhere.
As for the truck here are some of the details. Chassis / Suspension: The frame is built out of 2''x4'' tubing, z'd front and rear, x bracing under the cab and all plated in 1/4'' plate. The frame is very well built. Front axle is a Lucky 7 4'' drop axle, 28-48 spindles, Speedway disc brake conversion, traditional radius arms, all suspension and steering bars consist of 5/8'' heim joints, mono leaf front spring, rear axle is disc brake Ford, coil springs in the rear, 4 linked rear with a J bar. Engine / Trans: The motor is a small block chevy that has been bored .30 over and is now a 355ci. Some parts are pro comp intake, Edelbrock 600cfm carb, Comp Cams .500 lift cam, comp cam lifters, comp cam hardened push rods, meling high volume oil pump, GM crank and rods, Comp cam double roller timing chain, heavy duty flywheel, small GM starter, small distributor, Gilmer belt and pully set, finned aluminum tall valve covers and air cleaner, K&N air filter, 2000 stall convertor, billet trans pan, braided kickdown cable, and tons of little aftermarkets. Interior: The interior is simple but clean with the floor channeled about 5'', sheet metal bomber seats built to fit the cab, 3/4'' steering with all star pull off steering wheel adapter, 14'' Long acre steering wheel, aluminum gauge panel with gauges consisting of volts, temp., oil pressure, and fuel level. Also worked into the panal are you turn signal and high beam indicators. The glove box is a nice storage spot as well and it is 12''wide x 7'' deep x 7'' tall with a cigarette lighter in it to charge your phone or run your gps. There are lap belts and I installed new style latches in the doors so when you shut the door it latches and your not going to fall out. The door handles and window cranks all function and there is door glass in both doors that you can roll up. Other: The fuel cell is 15 gallons, the headers were built to clear the steering. There 1 7/8'' to 3'' collectors with 10'' mufflers and the turn down tips. The rims are 17x7 and I just installed NEW tires the other day that are 235/55R17. These have about 30 miles on them now. The tail lights are early 30's ford and they are tinted as well as the front turn signals. There is just so much going on with the truck that everywhere you look you will notice something. That was the best part of the build and all the little detail. It is very neat and gets tons of attention. This is great to take to shows, Cruises, or just to do a little grocery shopping. I do have the truck for sale locally as well as online. If you have any questions feel free to give me a call at 989-529-5485. Buyer is responsible for shipping costs but I will help in any way I can with a shipper to make it easier. Thanks for looking. |

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 R/T NHRA Funny Car burns rubber into SEMA [w/video]
Tue, 04 Nov 2014Fiat Chrysler Automobiles is showing off a completely redesigned Dodge Charger Funny Car at this year's SEMA Show in Las Vegas and it's ready to blow through the NHRA timing lights next year. Initially, the shape might look like any of the other entrants in its class burning through the quarter mile, but this is the first comprehensive rethink for the racecar's aerodynamics since 2006, says Dodge.
Draped in classy red and black Mopar livery, the 2015 Dodge Charger R/T NHRA Funny Car tries to share the front and rear styling with its roadgoing counterpart, plus the scallops along the side, but this racer is all about crossing the finish line first.
The major goals for the redesign included making the body stronger and lighter without sacrificing aerodynamics, and that has been done with materials like Kevlar and carbon fiber. However, engineers have accomplished even more. By moving the cockpit further back, they've increased engine clearance and improved driver visibility.
Thieves still love older Hondas and pickups most, says NICB [w/video]
Wed, 20 Aug 2014No one wants to have their car stolen, but a new study by the National Insurance Crime Bureau has some bad news for older Honda owners and pickup drivers. Fortunately, it has better news for drivers overall. The group is reporting that according to preliminary data from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, thefts were down 3.2 percent in 2013 (versus 2012) to fewer than 700,000 cars. That's the lowest figure since 1967. That's also less than half of the peak of over 1.66 million thefts in 1991. "The drop in thefts is good news for all of us," says NICB President and CEO Joe Wehrle. "But it still amounts to a vehicle being stolen every 45 seconds and losses of over $4 billion a year."
Honda drivers might not find it such good news with older Accord and Civic models topping this year's theft study. Toyota and Dodge can't really celebrate, either, with two models each on the list, as well. Overall, this year's list was split evenly between foreign and domestic models, which were mostly pickups.
The 10 most likely vehicles to be stolen in 2013 were:
