1951 Dodge Power Wagon M37 Modern 4x4 Chassis 5.9 FI, O/D Auto, All Pwr, A/C

Reasonable Rides and Rods presents this very unique 1951 Dodge Power Wagon for your consideration.  This beast draws a crowd everywhere you drive it.  With the modern drivetrain, you can literally drive this truck anywhere.  Professionally built and upgraded, you will be impressed with the workmanship.  This truck was built with hundreds of labor hours invested along with a substantial financial commitment.

 

Body and Paint

 

The original 1951 M37 Power Wagon body has been professionally mounted on a modern chassis (1998 Dodge Ram 1500 4x4).  The truck has really decent paint and retains some of the “patina” that developed over the years.  It really fits the truck.  It has rock solid floors and bed.  Every panel fits up right and the doors open and close as they should.  The hood does have some cracking due to filler, but it is mostly covered up with the military star acetate.  It sports a canvas top that is in good condition and fits well.  All glass is in great shape and new weather stripping has just been installed.  A custom grill was made for the front, along with a heavy duty bumper and Warn winch.  The exterior presentation of this Power Wagon is outstanding. 

 

Drivetrain/Engine/Trans

 

The 1998 Dodge Ram chassis was professionally shortened a few inches to fit the correct wheel base.  The 5.9 gas fuel injection engine performs flawlessly.  The engine is stock and only has a performance air cleaner and performance muffler installed.  The automatic overdrive transmission shifts through the gears as it should.  The truck retains all of the modern accessories from the 1998 Dodge, which makes the truck a great driver.  Power steering, Power brakes, and it even has heat and AC.  The transfer case and 4wd system all works as it should.  All of the front suspension components are new, and the truck drives great in town or at 75 mph on the highway.  No tire noise, vibrations, road walking or driveability issues.  It absolutely drives like a newer truck.  No leaks, funny noises or any other issues.  The engine operates cool even on 100 degree Texas days with the a/c running. 

 

Interior

 

This Power Wagon has original seats (recently recovered) and original dash.  The gauges have been upgraded to modern VDO gauges and everything works.  A Vintage Air compact under dash heat and a/c unit has been installed for driver comfort.  Even with the soft top, the a/c gets ice cold and heat works great.  The Dodge Ram steering column and steering wheel were used in the conversion, along with the ECU and OBD port.  The Ram 4wd shifter was retained.  All lights, switches and electrical components work. 

 

Tire and Wheels

 

This Power Wagon comes with 15 inch steel Pro Comp black wheels and brand new Toyo Open Country MT 37x14.5-R15 tires around.  These radials allow for a quiet and great driving truck and have less than 100 miles on them. 

 

Overall

 

This Power Wagon is an incredible vehicle.  The professional chassis/drivetrain swap makes this a great driver.  I have literally been driving it every day and it is very enjoyable to drive.  It has plenty of power, awesome 4wd capability, and great looks.  It would make and ideal hunting vehicle.  Absolutely no disappointments here, and you can fly in and drive it home any distance.  We have a Georgia bill of sale with the original VIN (non-title state) and the clear title for the donor 1998 Ram, so it can be titled either way depending on your state’s requirements.

This government surveillance van is both cool and creepy, and it could be yours

Tue, Jun 16 2020

Whether you're planning a heist and need to gather information, or you're a government agency tracking down the leader of a crime ring, Hollywood has taught us that the unmarked van is the ideal machine for gathering intel. And apparently that's not just a Hollywood trope, because you can buy this actual, honest-to-goodness ex-government surveillance van: a 1998 Plymouth Grand Voyager. It's being sold by the Chicago suburb of Streamwood, Ill., on the government surplus auction site GovDeals. According to the description, the van was acquired by the town as part of a drug seizure and converted to surveillance duty. It looks like a plain white Grand Voyager for the most part, except for the amber flashing light on the roof. Or at least it looks like a light. It's actually the disguise for the camera periscope. Open up the sliding door of the van and you'll discover a swivel mount for the camera, a TV mounted to the back of the driver's seat, and a toolbox that holds all the electronic equipment, including battery chargers for the van and the camera. There are also solid panels behind the windows so that people walking by can't peer in and see all the equipment. It's a bit less wild than some of the vans we've seen on film, but those Hollywood vans are usually larger commercial vans that can store more people and stuff. Less interesting details include the fact that this Grand Voyager has a 3.3-liter V6 with an automatic transmission. It has just over 100,000 miles and was good for a little more than 150 horsepower and 200 pound-feet of torque when it was new. The interior looks impressively clean, as does most of the exterior, but the description and photos highlight the fact that the front strut towers are rusty and in need of repair. Included are new strut towers, but obviously the welding in and painting is the expensive part. Also, while we think this van is pretty neat, since it's an actual surveillance van like we've seen on film for years, we would feel creepy actually owning it. After all, it's a vehicle for watching people, and while a government might have a legitimate reason for doing that, your average person doesn't. Unless you need a prop for a film, are going to show it off at car shows, or are another city government needing a cheap surveillance car, we think having this would be a little too weird. But if you have one of those reasons, or are less worried about what people think, you have a few more days to bid.

Fiat Chrysler picks Google, Samsung for global connected car system

Tue, Apr 30 2019

DETROIT — Fiat Chrysler said on Tuesday it will use technology from Alphabet Inc's Google and Samsung to connect all its vehicles by 2022, providing music and video and facilitating future car-sharing and self-driving capabilities. Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV (FCA) will use Google's Android operating system globally instead of a mixture of software that varies by region, a spokesman said. The automaker will also use a cloud-based digital platform from Samsung Electronics Co Ltd's Harman unit. Unlike its rivals General Motors and Ford, FCA has spent virtually nothing on developing self-driving vehicle technology. This saves the company large amounts of money, but makes it reliant on outside parties to provide technology and systems. FCA said it will launch the new capabilities in the second half of 2019. The company said the system will aid owners "by predicting maintenance needs, locating fuel and charging stations, receiving traffic prompts and restaurant offers and providing live customer-care assistance at the push of the button."

Dodge Challenger spied exercising supercharged Hellcat Hemi V8

Wed, 23 Oct 2013

One of the prime complaints against the Dodge Challenger is that, even in SRT8 guise, its 470 horsepower is responsible for hauling over 4,200 pounds of vehicle. For comparison, the 420 hp in the Ford Mustang GT only has to deal with 3,618 lbs. Things only get worse from there, as the higher-performance variants of both the Mustang and the Chevrolet Camaro are far more powerful than an SRT8 without adding on much heft.
So what is Chrysler to do? The correct answer is add a whole lot more grunt to its hefty two-door and even the odds. That's where the all-new Hellcat engine comes into play. We reported on this engine in May, and suggested that the Hellcat, a supercharged powerplant based on a 6.4-liter V8, would easily generate 500 to 570 hp and could likely arrive boasting more than 600 ponies.
Chrysler's ace in its sleeve has now been spied testing, with a number of Hellcat-equipped Challengers running the potent new engine both in more urbanized areas and under the sun of Death Valley. The hoods on these testers have been raised to accommodate the engine, and that camouflage over the fascias of these prototypes is there to hide a larger air intake. We also note what appears to be a new split grille under wraps. As for power output, our spies are now suggesting a Viper-equalling 640 hp from the Hellcat-equipped cars.
