1970 Dodge D400 Sweptline Truck Stake Bed Power Wagon Chassis 225 V6 Low Miles on 2040-cars
Morning Sun, Iowa, United States
|
Up for bid is a really nice 1970 Dodge D400 Sweptline Truck with 82,800 original miles. It is in very good condition with no rust holes or rot on the body or chassis. The pictures speak for themselves and I think it actually looks better in person! It started life as a Navy truck (hence the blue interior) and then put into service at a fire department as a stake bed. Has been farmer owned ever since. It was stored inside since new and was NEVER driven in the winter. The body is very nice and doesn't have any dents or rust. There are a few holes from old signage or accessories but most have been plugged. The frame is still almost completely black. The stake bed is approx. 14' long and all the wood is in excellent condition. The interior is all there and complete. The dash is in excellent condition and isn't all chewed up like most of these that you see with radio holes, etc. The floors are rock solid and still have the original rubber floor mat. The seat bottom and back are in perfect condition. There is some minor cracking on the sidewall of the seat but nothing major. All glass including the windshield is good. This truck always starts right up and runs great! The 225 Slant 6's are bulletproof motors and I am amazed how quiet and smooth this truck runs. There are no major leaks, doesn't smoke, idles great, and the choke works. All gauges work, all lights work, and all the interior decals are in good shape. Like new Interstate Battery with a cut off switch installed in case you want to store it for a long time. It has the NP435 4spd manual trans that shifts smoothly in every gear. Clutch works well, brakes work but could maybe use a little adjusting. 18,500 GVWR so it will haul quite a large payload with the rear HYP01D axle. I have owned several of these throughout the years and none have had a nicer cab, interior, or frame. I bought this truck about 1 year ago for the cab and the interior to swap it onto a W600 project that I have. I really hate to sell this thing but I've decided that this truck is just too nice and complete to cut apart. I found another cab I can use on my project so it's time to pass this one along. Clean and clear title and all VIN plates are intact on the truck. This will sell with NO RESERVE to the high bidder so bid to win! Any questions, don't hesitate to give me a call at 563-676-2032. $100 paypal deposit due within 48 hours and full payment due in cash in person within 7 days unless other arrangements are made prior to the end of the listing. If you need it delivered, I have a big trailer and could maybe help out with the delivery for a fee within 300 miles depending on where you are.

Weekly Recap: New bosses try to jump-start Cadillac and Lincoln
Sat, 26 Jul 2014
Both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
It's ironic that Cadillac and Lincoln got new bosses within days of each other this month. It's also a commentary on the fact both of America's domestic luxury brands seem to be stuck in neutral.
Dodge Dart falls short of Consumer Reports Recommended, Caddy XTS and Lincoln MKS, too
Thu, 22 Nov 2012The Dodge Dart, Cadillac XTS and Lincoln MKS all failed to earn a "Recommended" rating from Consumer Reports. When it came to the compact Dart, the organization's testers thought the vehicle offered a quiet cabin, solid-feeling chassis and nimble suspension, but the new model ultimately fell short of the coveted rating due to powertrain issues. The institute's reviewers found the base 2.0-liter four-cylinder engine to be underpowered and noted "drivability issues" when the available turbocharged 1.4-liter four was paired with the optional dual-clutch transmission (some of our editors disliked it paired with the six-speed manual). CR also dinged the latter powerplant for sounding "raspy." For what it's worth, we think the forced-induction engine offers an excellent and playful exhaust note, but that's just us.
As for the XTS, CR lauded the car for its luxurious cabin, but the vehicle's experience was dulled by its finicky CUE infotainment interface. Overall, the big Cadillac scored much higher than its cross-town rival from Lincoln. While testers found the American luxury sedan to offer a quiet ride and quality fit and finish, they felt the MKS delivered a "cramped driving position, ungainly handling, uncomposed ride, and limited visibility." Ouch. At the end of the day, both cars fell short of rivals from Japan, Germany and Korea. Check out the full press release below with more details, along with CR's musings on the Chevrolet Spark and Lexus ES.
2014 Dodge Durango
Wed, 25 Sep 2013Say what you want about the Dodge Durango, but ever since it came on the scene in 1998, it has occupied its own niche in the SUV market - not too small, not too big, tough, able, not always the best on the road and not always the best off-road. If it were a football player, it would be a tight-end that can block and catch. If it were a hamburger - a double burger with cheese and bacon, but not the Whopper.
As part of a mid-cycle upgrade for what was already a very capable SUV that Chrysler introduced in 2011, and built on the same platform as the Mercedes GL-Class and Jeep Grand Cherokee, the 2014 Durango has gotten some refinements worth noting that have cleaned up its tailoring and toned up its body and powerplant. The result is an SUV that shows itself to be a very good value in a category full of sticker prices that can run away faster than a kid who's been told he has to take ballroom dancing lessons.
Chrysler executives showing us the new Durango made a special point to reiterate that the Dodge brand is not going away, as has been rumored after the company took the Ram and Viper - the cream of the brand - out from under the Dodge umbrella. Turns out Dodge has been the brand attracting the most young people (who knew?) and has a younger average age buyer than Honda. The Dodge brand historically has also attracted buyers who aren't exactly Phi-Beta Cappa, which some companies worry about. Chrysler not so much. Dodge buyers tend to be more the working, high-school-educated, community-college-educated backbone of the work force in America. If they keep coming to Dodge, the Durango is a pretty good piece of hardware to save up for.
