This ebay item is a restored 1947 Dodge model WF-21 / 1.5 ton flat bed stake dump truck that was purchased new in 1947 by the GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY (GNR) as a railway maintenance truck. The Great Northern Railway was founded in 1856 in Spokane Wa. and operated from Wa. to Chicago, Winnipeg Man. British Columbia, and northern California. GNR was purchased by the Burlington Northern Railway and ceased operations in 1970.
This truck was last plated in Wa.by GNR in 1963, at 60,575 original miles when it was retired from service. It was stored in Spokane Wa. until I purchased it in 2005. It was never damaged or rusted. It spent the next 7 years being completely restored in my shop, and was safety certified and replated for road use in Sept. 2012.
As my photos show, this truck has had a complete restoration, and is highly detailed under the hood, in the cab, and the exterior is painted in the official GNR railway colors of orange / green. There was enough forensic remnants of the old GNR name and colors on the driver's and passenger doors from which I reproduced two new GNR stickers for each door to the exact same design, dimensions and colors of the original.
From a mechanical standpoint, the engine has been rebuilt and the radiator was recored. The brakes, 4 speed transmission, and rear end are excellent. The truck has a TWO TON CAPACITY HEIL HYDRAULIC HOIST which also has been rebuilt and works perfectly. All NEW EXHAUST SYSTEM. All gauges in the dash work properly, and 1947 was the last year that Dodge trucks had a CRANK OUT WINDSHEILD, and it works perfectly in this truck. The truck has ALL NEW 7.50-20" TIRES with the paper manufacturer stickers still showing on the treads. All lights function on this trucks including TURN SIGNALS. To conclude, the truck runs, stops and drives excellent with no issues at all.
The interior is completely detailed with new dark tan door panels and ceiling that matches the color of the seat. The seat and seat back have been completely rebuilt with extra foam padding at a cost of $600.00 which is now extremely comfortable way beyond the factory original. The seat and seat back was fitted with new heavy duty vinyl fabric with green piping to match the light green color of the dash. The dash has all new knobs with a new restored steering wheel. The truck is also fitted with a new restored, factory correct, MOPAR MODEL 36 HEATER for a very pleasant warm ride on a cool day. The cab also has a interior courtesy light with switch above the rear window. The truck cab has ALL NEW TINTED GLASS.
The 9.5 ft. flat bed dump body has an industrial grade checker plate steel floor that was originally installed by the railway company and is now fitted with new green wood stake racks with correct 1947 vintage N.O.S. cast iron hook and eye hardware that allows for quick removal of any section or sections of the rack as needed. The truck is also fitted with a heavy duty REAR HITCH for trailer towing if desired.
Notice in my photos how compact this 1.5 ton truck really is which is not much larger than a regular pickup, but has way more load capacity and the convenience of a dump body.
Also included in this truck is a 1947 Dodge truck glove box OWNERS MANUAL and official GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY FIRST AID KIT, ENGINEERS CAP, AND 1953 RAILWAY OPERATING SCHEDULE. If you are a dedicated railway buff and would like the opportunity to have a genuine rail road maintenance truck in your garage to compliment the model railroad in your basement, then this is the ultimate railroad collector item for you. Own it while you have this wonderful opportunity.
Truck is located in Ontario Canada, approx. 2 hrs. from Port Huron Michigan. Truck has a clear Ontario title. Owner is willing to assist with loading, or can broker and deliver the truck to U.S.A. locations along Interstate 75 south at extra cost. Purchaser is required to pay a non refundable deposit of $1000.00 within 24 hrs. of auction close, with full payment by certified check before pickup or delivery.

Dodge recalls 2011-2016 Charger to give owners wheel chocks
Wed, Feb 3 2016A bizarre new recall gives wheel chocks to Dodge Charger owners so that people remain safe while changing the sedan's wheels. The campaign covers 441,578 examples of the 2011-2016 Charger in the US; plus 19,229 in Canada; 4,969 in Mexico, and 38,947 outside the NAFTA region. According to Dodge's announcement, owners should use the chocks to stabilize the Charger when using a jack to change the wheels, like in the case of a flat tire. Without them it's possible for the sedan to fall off the jack. The company is aware of three minor hand injuries from this problem. Dodge will notify owners by mail when they can pick up the free wheel chocks. FCA US spokesperson Eric Mayne offered Autoblog a more detailed explanation about this recall. "The body structure of this vehicle is unique. If owner's manual instructions are not followed, slippage may occur. Chocks are being provided to help ensure the instructions are followed," he said. "We are continually analyzing warranty data to identify ways to improve the ownership experience. When tire-jack data was reviewed, we identified a need to further assist our customers." Statement: Wheel Chocks February 3, 2016 , Auburn Hills, Mich. - FCA US LLC is conducting a voluntary safety recall to supply wheel chocks for an estimated 441,578 full-size sedans in the U.S. The chocks are for use, as instructed in the vehicle's owner's manual, when employing a tire jack to change wheels. When positioned diagonally opposite to the wheel being changed, the chocks will help stabilize the vehicle. Failure to follow the manual's instructions with an affected vehicle may cause the vehicle to come off the tire jack. FCA US is aware of three related injuries – all minor. The recall is limited to 2011-2016 Dodge Chargers. Also affected by the campaign are an estimated 19,229 cars in Canada; 4,969 in Mexico and 38,947 outside the NAFTA region. Recall notices will advise affected customers when they may obtain their wheel chocks, which will be supplied free of charge. Customers with questions or concerns may call the FCA US Customer Care Center at 1-800-853-1403.
Happy Hellcat Halloween
Tue, Oct 31 2017Happy Halloween, everybody. There's no real Hellcat news in this post. No growl of the second-scariest Dodge Challenger SRT's 707-horsepower engine, no shriek of its supercharger. Just a Hellcat on a photo shoot. A little eye candy on Halloween. In a graveyard. With a black cat. (No cats were doomed to hell in the making of this feature.) But a Hellcat is a good kind of scary, so here are some of our previous galleries. And may a Hellcat cross your path soon. View 18 Photos View 17 Photos View 80 Photos Related Video:
FCA's large, LX-based RWD cars will stick around until 2020
Mon, Nov 7 2016Fiat Chrysler Automobiles plans to stick with the Dodge Challenger, Dodge Charger, and Chrysler 300 until at least 2020, reports Automotive News. The information comes from two unnamed sources and was loosely confirmed by details in the automaker's new labor contract with Unifor, Canada's auto union. The plan, according to two anonymous sources, is to lightly refresh the Challenger, Charger, and 300 until the vehicles make the switch to FCA's new Giorgio platform. The refresh, as Automotive News points out, will happen in 2018. The Giorgio platform currently underpins the Alfa Romeo Giulia and is expected to find its way to two of the three large American vehicles for the 2021 model year. At that time, FCA will discontinue either the Charger or the 300, claim AN's unnamed sources. If one of the vehicles were to go, it would most likely be the 300. The 300's LX platform would be approximately 15 years old in 2020 and the vehicle doesn't draw in as many sales as the Challenger or the Charger. The Charger made the switch from the LX platform in 2010 with the current model utilizing the mildly updated LD platform, while the Challenger recently moved from the LC platform to the LA platform last year. All of those rear-wheel-drive platforms are closely related. Automotive News points out that FCA CEO Sergio Marchionne stated that the new platform could be utilized across various applications in a conference call with analysts last month. The plan, according to the report, is to stretch and widen the Giorgio platform for the next-gen Challenger and Charger. The new platform is also rigid enough to allow the automaker to add a convertible to its lineup, which could lend further credence to rumors of an upcoming Barracuda. Hopefully, the move to the new Giorgio platform doesn't delay the all-wheel-drive Challenger GT AWD or the wide-body, Hellcat-powered Challenger ADR. We'll just have to wait and see.
