Webster, Wisconsin, United States

 1958 Dodge W100 Power Giant restored to original condition.  A ground up restoration was completed in 2011.  I have included a photo of the chassis during the restoration process so you can see that it was media blasted, painted and the freshly rebuilt 6 cylinder engine.  The truck is an early year production indicated by single headlamps. 

Engine:  230 6 cylinder
Transmission: 3 speed column shift
Transfer case:  NP 91000 2 speed
Chassis:  108" wheel base (shortbox)
Gear ratio:  4.89:1
Differentials:  Spicer 44 front end and a Chrysler 8 3/4 rear end
Wheels:  17.5 x8
Paint:  Original colors:  Klondike Yellow and Sandel wood accent color
Radiator:  Honeycomb style

Extra factory equipment:  Inside rear view mirror, outside spare tire carrier, cigar lighter


Again this truck has been restored to original with exception to the wood bed.  Originally that was pine wood painted black.  I used oak wood and clear spar varnish, see photo.  The battery is a reproduction of the original, with caps.  Photo was taken when battery was out, battery does go with truck.  The speedometer was not turned back, but only  has about 300 miles on truck.  Also the photos may vary in color, I used two different cameras and for some reason colors appear to be brighter on one. 

1958 was the second year dodge came out with a civilian style four wheel drive truck for the public.  This truck was originally intended to be a work truck, built very solid.  With a gear ratio of 4.89 the top speed is about 45mph.  This truck was originally a County Truck in Arizona, and sat in the desert for many years prior to my purchase of it.  The body only had light surface rust, no rusted panels.  I purchased it and began a complete restoration that took 6 years.  Close attention was given to keep everything as it would of been from the factory. 

The truck runs and drives great, Very fun to drive around you will get thumbs up and lots of people wanting to stop and talk about it.  I have had so much fun showing this truck, great to show off a piece of our automotive history. 

Has a clear Wisconsin title.

Chrysler banks $507 million in Q2, trims 2013 earnings forecast

Tue, 30 Jul 2013

Chrysler has some good news and some bad news. First, profits were up 16 percent over the second quarter of 2012, bringing the Auburn Hills, Michigan-based manufacturer $507 million on the back of strong demand for trucks and SUVs (a recurring theme this quarter, particularly in the US). Q2 revenue was up as well, from $16.8 billion in 2012 to $18 billion in 2013. The bad news is that the Pentastar's overall earnings forecast for net income in 2013 has been trimmed from $2.2 billion to between $1.7 and $2.2 billion, according to Automotive News.
In addition to the adjusted net income forecast, Chrysler tweaked its operating profit from $3.8 billion to between $3.3 and $3.8 billion. This has gone largely unexplained by Chrysler, perhaps hoping the news of a three-percent increase in its transaction prices for Q2 will allow it to sweep this adjustment under the rug.
The star of the show for Chrysler has been its US sales, which saw a 10-percent jump, both bettering the industry average of eight percent and improving over the same stretch of 2012. As with the increase in transaction prices, Chrysler has the new Ram pickup and Jeep Grand Cherokee to thank. Perhaps most worrying from this report, though, is that every brand in the automaker's stable saw an increase in sales... except for the Chrysler brand itself.

Chrysler's Jefferson North plant builds 5-millionth SUV [w/video]

Thu, 15 Aug 2013

Chrysler's Jefferson North Assembly Plant opened in 1992 for production of the first Jeep Grand Cherokee, but in the subsequent years, the Detroit plant has gone on to produce some of the company's biggest SUVs including the Jeep Commander and Dodge Durango. Earlier this week, the plant produced its five-millionth SUV, which, fittingly, was a Grand Cherokee.
Celebrating the plant's five-millionth unit, the silver 2014 Grand Cherokee was promptly donated to the USO. In addition to this milestone SUV, Chrysler also had a near-perfect 1993-95 ZJ Grand Cherokee on hand for the photo op. Scroll down for the Chrysler press release as well as a video showing some of the speeches from the celebration.

Dodge whips covers off 2013 Blacktop series

Thu, 10 Jan 2013

Dodge introduced us to its Blacktop model lineup a year ago with the 2012 Charger and followed up with more recently with the 2013 Challenger and 2013 Avenger. Now the automaker will be applying this ominous-looking treatment to the Durango, Grand Caravan and Journey models for 2013 as well. These models will be unveiled next week at the Detroit Auto Show, but Dodge has released most of the details for these new products including pricing and availability.
If the Grand Caravan R/T (aka, the Man Van) wasn't aggressive enough for you or its $30,000 starting price was a little too pricey, then the 2013 Grand Caravan Blacktop could be the ticket. Starting with the SXT trim level (which stickers at $19,995), the Blacktop package costs only $595, and adds unique features such as blacked-out headlights, grille and fog lights bezels and an all-black interior. The van rides on black-accented, 17-inch aluminum wheels. The Grand Caravan Blacktop is only available in monochromatic paint schemes limited to Billet Silver, Brilliant Black, Maximum Steel, Redline Red and Stone White
Likewise, the 2013 Journey Blacktop is offered only on the SXT model (starting at $18,995) with all of the crossover's normal options such as four- and six-cylinder engines, five- or seven-passenger seating and front- or all-wheel drive. The Blacktop package adds $995 to the Journey SXT's price and features many of the same black accents as the Grand Caravan like the headlights, grille, door mirrors and lower fascia. Exterior colors are limited to Bright Silver, Bright Red, Brilliant Black, Brilliant Red Tri-Coat, White, Pearl White Tri-Coat and Storm Grey, and the package's 19-inch wheels come in Gloss Black. Inside, the Journey Blacktop comes standard with black cloth seats and Chrysler's 8.4-inch Uconnect touch screen, but black leather is also available as an option.
