Dodge Power Wagon....this is not a stock vehicle, but original Dodge and Power Wagon parts were used.  Someone long ago has mounted a civilian pickup cab to the chassis of a 1/2 ton 4 x 4 military truck.  It has a very short wheel base (96 inches I think).   I'm selling this truck for a friend of mine who used it to work around his ranch for years.  The winch is currently apart but had some machining done to the shaft and gears.  The engine ran good, but life got busy and it was parked.  Rust is very minimal.  Mostly it is just the windshield frame that needs replacing.  I looked around and they are available, but sometimes can be expensive.  Most parts are available through vintagepowerwagons website.  The seats are there but the vinyl is crackly. 

In terms of the modifications:  someone did a very clean job of mounting a utility flat bed and roll bar.  Maybe it was all fabricated, I can't really tell...it's pretty well done.  He then made flares for the front fenders.  Currently they are a little dinged, but make a nice touch and keep the proportions nice. 

I have what I think is a fair reserve...it leaves meat on the bone for the next guy to put some time and money into it.  Because of it's recent history, it would be nice if this old truck finds a good home with happy tinkering hands to bring it back to life.  Feel free to call if you have any questions or want more photos.  Thanks, Erik (707) 357-0880.  I'm reserving the right to end auction early.

Fiat Chrysler Automobiles: The next five years

Tue, 06 May 2014

Unless you've been living under a rock for the past 24 hours, you've no doubt read about all of the big future product news coming out of Fiat Chrysler Automobiles today. We had individual brand reports from Chrysler, Dodge, Jeep, Ram, Alfa Romeo, Fiat, Maserati and even Ferrari, but in the interest of simplifying and summarizing, we're going to list out the hard facts once more. Of course, with all of this still off in the future, there's still the possibility that a few changes will be made. But as of what we know right now, here's what's coming, and what's going away.

2019 Chrysler Pacifica and Dodge Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Editions debut in Chicago

Mon, Feb 4 2019

Just ahead of the 2019 Chicago Auto Show, FCA revealed a pair of special editions to commemorate the 35th anniversary of the original Dodge Caravan and Plymouth Voyager. The 2019 Chrysler Pacifica, Pacifica Hybrid and Dodge Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Edition models will make their full debut this week sporting special badging and paint. Since the original 1984 models debuted, Chrysler has sold more than 14.6 million minivans around the world. Chrysler introduced the original Caravan and Voyager in late 1983. The pair shared much with Lee Iacocca's storied K-platform. K-based models such as the Dodge Omni and Plymouth Horizon helped turn around Chrysler's fortunes in the early '80s. Likewise, the Caravan and Voyager were a huge success and provided the template for modern minivans including the Honda Odyssey and Toyota Sienna. The Pacifica and Grand Caravan 35th Anniversary Editions both come with an all-black interior featuring Cranberry Wine accent stitching on the seats, steering wheel, door trim, instrument panel bezels and door handles. There's also a 35th Anniversary logo on the floor mats plus badges on the grille and liftgate. The package is available on Pacifica Touring L, Touring L Plus and Limited trims, including hybrid models. An optional S package (blacked out trim) can be added to any 35th anniversary Pacifica. The anniversary package can be added to Grand Caravan SE and SXT models. The anniversary package will be available sometime this summer.

Chrysler recalls 350k vehicles over ignition switches

Thu, 25 Sep 2014

Chrysler has announced a recall covering 349,442 vehicles due to ignition switches that can either become stuck or move without warning. All of the affected vehicles are from the 2008 model year, and were built before May 12, 2008.
The automaker has learned that ignition keys on some vehicles "may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position during engine-startup," the company said in a statement. Additionally, "an ignition key may not fully return to the 'ON' position after rotation to the 'START' position and may inadvertently move through the 'ON' position to 'ACCESSORY' or 'OFF.'"
Chrysler says it is unaware of any related injuries, and notes that while reduced braking, engine or steering power is possible in such instances, the airbags are not affected. The later stands in contrast to General Motors' recent rash of high-profile recalls, and it's an important distinction that Chrysler (understandably) felt necessary to call out in bold print in its press release.
