1951 Dodge "Job Rated" 1/2 Ton Pickup barn find

Plenty of Chevys and Fords but the Dodges are hard to find.

Make an awesome fenderless Rat Rod on a Dodge Dakota or S-10 frame maybe.

Flat head 6 with 3 speed manual. Engine seems complete with oil bath air cleaner and oil filter. The original honeycomb radiator and the heater show no signs of leaks, antifreeze is clean. Engine oil is clean.

Are  you tired of working on a project that is rusted beyond repair then this is the truck for you. Southern vehicle, no salt damage!
The floors have some rust but could be patched and not totally replaced, the door bottoms have very little rust.

The cab corners are solid. The hinges don't sag.
The previous owner says the truck has been in a carport for several years and from the lack of serious rust it must have been protected from the elements most of it's life.
The truck has lots of dents that make it a perfect candidate for the Rat Rod treatment.
Has plywood as bed floor.

The original front suspension seems to be all intact and the manual steering box and steering seem tight.

I was told by the previous owner that he was driving it up to 2 yrs ago.
I didn't try to get the motor running but I did spin it over with a battery.
It has a new fuel pump and some brake work (some new steel lines, rubber hoses and appears master cylinder was rebuilt or new) by the previous owner. Brake pedal currently goes to the floor. The emergency brake works.

Original seat has good support and the original covers can be seen under a loose seam on the aftermarket seat covers. The original door panel cardboard is still in place and could probably be used as a pattern.

The front windshields and corner curved glass are not cracked. The side windows are all cracked.
All side glass mechanisms work. Doors open and close and latch.
Original instruments, condition unknown, are included.  Not sure but I think it has been converted to 12 volts.

There are four original 16" wheels (2 on the truck rear now), also have four 15" Mopar wheels to go with the truck.
Standard Mopar 5 on 4/12" bolt pattern. All the tires are only good enough to load the car on a trailer.

Spare tire holder has one of the original 16" wheels.

I had planned a 350 with automatic overdrive, TCI front and rear suspension, power steering, Vintage Air, cruise and tilt.

Please contact Steve at 205-422-896seven with questions.
My sale policy is simple, a $200 deposit is required within 24 hours.
If you don't want the car when you come to pick it up you only forfeit the small deposit to cover my advertising expense.
Many more pics are available if desired.
Listed locally for $995, I reserve the right to cancel all bids if the truck sells locally first.

The State of Alabama does not issue titles for vehicles of this age. A bill of sale and tag receipt will be furnished.

Dodge Dart Mopar '13 special edition recalled over airbag woes

Mon, 09 Dec 2013

Dodge is only building 500 examples of the black-and-blue Mopar '13 Dart, but the majority of them are now being recalled. Part of the Mopar upgrade included replacing the stock seat skins in the Dart with black and blue Katzkin leather, but the seat-mounted side airbags were reinstalled improperly during the upfitting process, which could affect the performance of the front seat side airbags.
According to the official National Highway Traffic Safety Administration bulletin, a total of 374 Mopar '13 cars are being recalled due to side airbags that might not deploy in a side-impact collision. There have been no reports of the airbags not going off, but Chrysler will still need to reinstall the bags to ensure proper deployment. The recall notice is posted below, which gives information for Mopar '13 owners to contact Chrysler and NHTSA.

Roadkill Nights writhes with 200 Dodge Vipers

Sun, Aug 13 2017

Some 200 Dodge Vipers from across the United States and Canada descended Saturday on Roadkill Nights, the FCA-sponsored event at M1 Concourse in Pontiac, Michigan, that turned Woodward Avenue into a drag strip. The Vipers were there to mark this month's end of production of the wicked, hand-built, highly customizable performance car after 25 years. Vipers of every generation, color and stripe arrived en masse under a police escort, from the blue-and-white GTS-R to cars dressed in appropriate Snakeskin Green. Check out the gallery above. Halfway around the world, meanwhile, other Viper fans are trying to mark the car's production demise by claiming the record lap time at the Nurburgring. They ran a 7:03.45 lap in late July. And according to a Facebook post yesterday from the group, they've secured funding for more Ring time to make another attempt. Roadkill Nights racing was continuing until 11 Saturday night, and included drag events featuring the new Dodge Demon.

They address a couple interesting news topics, including an upcoming Ford pickup that's smaller than the Ranger, as well as a future electrified Dodge Challenger. They also opine about the new Honda Urban EV prototype that's scheduled to debut at the Geneva Motor Show. Then they talk about the cars they've been driving, including the new Subaru Crosstrek Hybrid, Volvo V60 and Audi A6. Finally, they take a question from Autoblog's recent Reddit AMA to help spend a Redditor's money.
