You are bidding on a 1978 Dodge 1 Ton 2 Wheel Drive Extened Cab Long Bed. It has 440-3 with a 727 Automatic, Dana 70 with 4.10 Gears. The motor was a new Chrysler crate motor in 1995 currently it has 60,000 miles on it, the transmission is original to the truck and we overhauled it in 2002. The motor is stock except for Headman Ellite Headers and Edelbrock Carb. IT has many new or updated parts under the hood Radiator,water pump,belts,fuel pump,new Mopar Electronic Ignition. We used it to pull a Hot Rod Pulling Tractor around. The bed is all custome made with real metal, unlike these new tin can beds. The tires are like new with about 7500 miles on them. The truck does have some rust spots and is in need of a paint job the interior is in fair to good condtion no rips or tears just aged. The truck does start and run good if you were going to put this back on the road pulling a trailer I would go through the brakes as its been probably 10 years since we did pads shoes and rotors and drum. This truck comes with 3" and 2 5/16 gooseneck ball and a slide receiver bumper hitch. This truck has all the A/C under the hood however it does not work, it has crank windows, power brakes and steering. Good Luck bidding

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 Viper saved from crusher by students, but will it last?

Tue, 16 Sep 2014

The saga of the Washington state community college hoping to keep its allegedly pre-production Dodge Viper out of the maw of the crusher is going strong. Not only does the school still have the car, but there's a chance that the college might even get to keep it.
The whole situation flared up in March when the South Puget Sound Community College in Olympia, WA, received a notice from Chrysler Group that requested that the school's Viper be destroyed. The automaker had loaned the muscle car to it about a decade ago to use for educational purposes in its auto tech classes. With the Dodge growing long in the tooth, "it is unlikely that these vehicles offer any educational value to students," the company said in its press release on the matter.
However, the college balked at destroying its Viper, despite the fact it had signed a contract with Chrysler Group to do so. The school further claimed that its car was incredibly special because it was a pre-production example and just the fourth one made back in 1992. Although, as we pointed out at the time, the photos of the school's vehicle showed a coupe that looked like a newer Viper GTS.

NHTSA investigating Chrysler for airbags, ignition switches

Wed, 18 Jun 2014

Chrysler is being targeted by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration in a pair of actions that focus on over 1.2 million Jeeps, minivans and crossovers.
The first is a "preliminary investigation" that focuses on an airbag issue afflicting the Jeep Commander built in model years 2006 and 2007 and Grand Cherokee from 2005 to 2006. In total, 700,000 vehicles could potentially be affected. It's not entirely clear what the airbag issue is, with The Detroit Free Press simply stating that the restraint systems in the affected Jeeps may be "faulty."
The other investigation is what's called a "recall query" and it covers a problem that General Motors should be familiar with. In this case, there could be a problem with the ignition switches of 525,000 vehicles, ranging from 2008 to 2010 Chrysler Town & Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans, to the 2008 to 2010 Dodge Journey crossover. Again, it's not entirely clear what sort of behavior prompted the 32 complaints that NHTSA has received on these vehicles.
