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.

Has Dodge stepped in it again with Scat Pack lawsuit?
Mon, 20 Oct 2014Lawsuits are an unfortunate part of doing business in just about any industry, so the latest complaint filed by a California-based aftermarket firm against Chrysler would seem to be nothing more than business as usual. But this isn't the first time the two companies have sparred over this particular issue.
According to a report from Automotive News, the dispute revolves around the Scat Pack name that Chrysler first offered on the Charger, Coronet, Dart and Super Bee starting in 1968. Scat Enterprises, a manufacturer of crankshafts and other components for Dodges and other vehicles, sued Chrysler for using its name. A few years later the Scat Pack disappeared from the Dodge catalog.
Fast forward to August 2013 when Chrysler applied to register the Scat Pack name anew. The US Patent and Trademark Office turned down Chrysler's application, but the automaker proceeded anyway, unveiling new Scat Packs for the Challenger, Charger and Dart at last year's SEMA show.
Coal-rolling Ram dually does tandem beer-shooting burnout with ATV in bed
Fri, 25 Jul 2014Sometimes a video comes around that just makes you shake your head in disbelief. Take for example these guys from Nebraska in their dually diesel flatbed Ram, doing a smoky burnout. Lighting up the tires is nothing new, but these folks take things a step further by having another guy on an ATV in bed that is also smoking the tires. Finally, people are sitting on a couch in the bed taking the whole show in, as beer cans shoot out of the stacks.
There have been several stories recently about the scourge of rolling coal, i.e., diesel trucks modified to lay down a thick, black smoke screen, sometimes for vaguely political reasons. Whatever your opinion is on it, breathing in this much nasty stuff isn't exactly great for your health. Of course, it turns out that burning rubber is pretty awful, too. Both diesel and tire emissions contain cancer-causing Group 1 carcinogens. Combine them with the cigarette smoking here, and these guys are an oncologist's nightmare. Scroll down to take it all in for yourself. Warning, there is a little explicit language.
2014 Dodge Journey Crossroad
Thu, 17 Jul 2014Watchers of the auto industry will notice a theme among the formerly bankrupted American automakers, General Motors and Chrysler. There are the post-bankruptcy vehicles, and the pre-bankruptcy vehicles. The former, in the case of Chrysler, include the Jeep Grand Cherokee, as well as the 200 and 300. For GM, there's the Cadillac ATS, Chevrolet Impala and Buick Encore, among others. These vehicles have the freshest styling, with sharp exteriors and well-crafted interiors, as well as advanced powertrains and well-sorted chassis.
As for the pre-bankruptcy vehicles, they tend to be easy to spot. Most suffer from inferior driving dynamics, cheaper interiors, poorer fuel economy and often homely looks (we know, there were some decent cars before the bankruptcy, but they were pretty heavily outweighed by the bad ones). Think late, last-generation Chevrolet Impala or Chrysler 200. Increasingly, though, we're seeing vehicles that split the balance between pre- and post-bankruptcy. Vehicles like the Dodge Journey.
The Journey debuted in 2007 as a 2008 model year vehicle, meaning it should fall into the latter category. But heavily breathed upon in 2011, it now enjoys a new, 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, a big, critically acclaimed touchscreen display and in the case of today's tester, a new-for-2014 Crossroad spec.
