Besides my forgetting to add some images to my last listing of this truck, I am relisting this item due to a non paying buyer. If you do not intend to consummate your purchase, please don't bid. I lost 5000 square feet of storage this fall so am thinning the herd. I bought this truck as a runner/shop truck about a year ago. It has a 1973 455 BUICK, a Turbo 400 AT, a 9" GM rear end, and a Pontiac Ventura sub-frame. It runs great, drives and stops straight and is a nice driving old truck. I've always liked this series of Dodge pickup, it is the first year after the weird flying saucer headlights and it has the faux hood louvers. The descriptive term "ratrod" is way over used today but if you were to look up the word, you would see a picture of this truck. The floors are rusty with the holes patched with license plates, the attachment of the steering column to the dash is crude, there is a Hurst Slap Stick shifter on the roof and of course you gotta love the gas tank in the pickup bed that is made from an old beer keg and attached with chains. This truck has personality with a great look in hotrod flat black and hand pin-stripping, smoothies, moon caps& whitewalls. The exhaust system's new, brakes work great, tires are at 50% +/- tread, and has had recent tune-up with hoses, belts, wires, plugs, oil change/filter, and fresh fluids. A word about the motor: The guy I bought it from indicated the engine had been gone thru. I do not have any supporting evidence but can say that it has great oil pressure, it doesn't smoke, and that it runs great. The only knock on runability is that it is cold blooded. I had my mechanic go thru the carb but it might needs some further tweaking. After it is warmed up a bit, it runs strong. There are a few smallish dings/dents, please note in particular the dish shaped dent at the rear of the driver’s side pickup box. The pickup bed is solid, the windshield is cracked, the horn needs to be connected, there is a new horn under the hood mounted on the driver side fender, and at this moment, the fan motor isn't working. The lights work and it has a decent stereo. The drag plate is not included. My truck is far from perfect but you could drive it anywhere reliably. Please ask questions if you are uncertain about anything. And I just wanted to add that I have a very nice 1968 Dodge half-ton that can be had for $1000.00. My intent was to switch out the bodies after doing a nice detail on this chassis...The truck is complete with a blown 383 and an AT. It is the upgraded Adventurer body in red with black top and it has the cool dash mounted shifter. Here is a link to an image of a truck like mine in almost the same condition: http://www.bing.com/images/search?q=1968+dodge+adventurer&id=BA5F368630040AF094AD2835B0125D2AE0507FC3&FORM=IQFRBA#view=detail&id=BA5F368630040AF094AD2835B0125D2AE0507FC3&selectedIndex=0 If the new buyer of this listed truck as some interest in the parts truck, drop me a line and we can get you some images of the actual truck. I will not sell this truck away from eBay; it will be listed and sold/invoiced as an addition to this listing or as part of a separate listing altogether.

Fiat Chrysler recalls 650,000 Dodge, Jeep SUVs for brake issue
Tue, Oct 3 2017Fiat Chrysler Automobiles said Tuesday it's voluntarily recalling nearly 650,000 Jeep Grand Cherokee and Dodge Durango SUVs to ensure that brake-booster shields were properly installed. The recall affects mostly vehicles sold in the U.S. but also roughly 60,000 combined in Canada and Mexico. The shields were installed in 2014 in conjunction with a recall involving the same set of vehicles, which cover the model years 2011 through 2014. A review of warranty data led to an FCA U.S. investigation that discovered the problem. FCA says it is aware of one potentially related accident, but no injuries. The shields are designed to keep water away from the boosters, lest it cause corrosion or freeze in cold temperatures and negatively affect brake performance. Brakes will still function even if boosters are compromised by water, FCA says, but drivers may experience brake-pedal firmness. In some cases, a potential booster issue may trigger a warning light or activation of the anti-lock brakes. Customers who've observed any of those conditions are urged to contact their dealers. The automaker says it plans to notify affected owners that free service to check and repair the issue if necessary will be available in early November.

2017 Dodge Durango GT Brass Monkey: A funky winter drive
Fri, Mar 24 2017The 2017 Dodge Durango is one of our favorite sport utility vehicles. It has power and style and it stands out in a segment that is filled with vanilla-flavored people haulers. We recently had a Durango GT outfitted in Brass Monkey trim – highlighted by its 20-inch burnished bronze aluminum wheels - and took to the back roads of Michigan for an extended drive. The snow was flying. The temperatures dropped. It was muddy. The unpaved roads, pocked and rutted, were jarring, even though the forested setting was serene. The Durango had no trouble with any of it. Watch our video review for the complete experience.
FCA CEO Mike Manley will take undefined new role after PSA merger
Wed, Dec 18 2019MILAN — Fiat Chrysler Chief Executive Mike Manley will remain with the new group set to result from a planned merger with French rival PSA-Peugeot, Chairman John Elkann said on Wednesday. In a letter to Fiat Chrysler (FCA) employees on the day the two companies announced a binding agreement for a $50 billion tie-up to create the world's fourth-largest carmaker, Elkann said he was "delighted" that the combined group would be led by current PSA CEO Carlos Tavares. "And Mike Manley, who has led FCA with huge energy, commitment and success over the past year, will be there alongside him," he said. He did not say what position Manley would hold. Elkann — who will chair the new group — said there was still much to be done to complete the merger. "Over the coming months we must work tirelessly and determinedly to fulfill all the approval requirements needed to finalize the commitment we have signed," he said.
