1961 Dodge M37 with winch. This is a very solid truck that starts and runs fine. The drive train all works as it should. The engine sounds good and was running in all the pictures. The winch works nice and smooth and has about 150 feet of good cable on it. There are 2 very small rust spots, one under one headlight and the other in the bed of the truck near a wheel well. I believe both are shown along with my finger in the pictures. The electrical system is still the 24 volt waterproof system and works fine. Still has the foot starter. The whole truck is basicly stock. Tires tread is ok, but they are weather cracked. Gas tank had a leak at one time and was welded and re-sealed. All the gages work with the exception of the gas gage. All controls and gages are stock. Hand throtle, choke and vacuum wipers all work although the passenger wiper is slow. Passenger side door glass is cracked as shown in the picture. Even the undersides of the doors are rock solid. Top has a couple of small patches in it. Troop seats are usable as is but the wood is original and will need to be replaced at some point. The majority of the lights work but some may need to be looked at. I have never found any body work on this truck. Passenger seat has a rip. Tailgate is solid. Brakes work well, but may need bleeding as some point as it was in storage for many years. Emergency brake works well. If your close enough, stop by and take a look at it. There is NO TITLE as NH does not issue one for vehicles this old. I had to put something in the Title box above. It will be sold with a Bill Of Sale and a copy of the current NH registration. That is all you should need to register it in your state, but please check with with your DMV before bidding. I require a $500 non refundable deposit within 48 hours of the auction ending by Paypal or ? and the balance in cash within 7 days. If you come to pick up the vehicle within 7 days and do not like what you see I will refund $300.00 of your deposit, no problem. Vehicle can stay here for up to 30 days. Buyer is responsible for all shipping arrangements and costs. Delivery may be available within a reasonable distance for a fee but please check with me BEFORE bidding. Ask all the questions you want BEFORE you bid. If you need more pictures just ask and I'll email them. Thanks for looking

eBay Find of the Day: Viper Defender from '90s TV show
Fri, 24 May 2013As car lovers, it's always hard to find a good television show with decent cars, but what the 1990s show Viper lacked in acting, scripting and plot, it more than made up for with cool cars. For starters, the lead car was a Dodge Viper RT/10, but, on screen, it was able to morph into its "Defender" mode making it an armored coupe with a full arsenal of weapons.
Fortunately, you don't have to be a fan of the bad show to love its lead car, and if you really want one, a Defender is up for auction right now on eBay. According to the listing, this car is the real deal - not a clone - and it comes with a V8 engine (not sure what happened to the V10?) and plenty of swag and memorbilia. No word on its actual asking price, but with a day left and 42 bids already, the reserve has not been met at $133,400. The listing does add that this same car was listed at Mecum back in 2010, but did not get sold, even with a bid of $270,000.
Diesel Power finds the ultimate modified oil-burner
Sat, 24 Aug 2013For nine years, Diesel Power magazine has run the Diesel Power Challenge, this year's grindfest being "a week-long torture test that features seven events, nine trucks, 8,000 horsepower, and nearly 15,000 pound-feet of torque." The road to being crowned "the most powerful truck" starts with a dyno run, and then continues through the completion of a CDL-style obstacle course, an eighth-of-a-mile drag race while towing a 10,000-pound trailer, a quarter-mile drag race without a trailer, a fuel economy test in the mountains and finally a sled-pulling test through a 300-foot-long packed-mud pit.
What kind of trucks get into such a fight? Last year's winner, for instance - who upgraded his truck this year to prove he didn't "luck into the win" - drives a 2008 Ford F-250 Super Duty with a 6.4-liter Power Stroke V8 upgraded with a custom intake, Elite Diesel triple turbos and a two-stage nitrous system. Another competitor has a 2005 Dodge Ram 2500 powered by a 5.9-liter Cummins inline-six, upgraded with Garrett turbos, dual-stage nitrous, a seven-inch exhaust stack and twin fans built into the bed to cool the Sun Coast Omega transmission. The numbers on that truck: 1,255 horsepower, and 2,063 pound-feet of torque at the wheels. Naturally, as the image above might suggest, things don't always end well.
You'll find all five videos covering this years challenge below. A scene in the dyno video sums it all up perfectly: a competitor leaves his nitrous on too long and the crew is treated to some ominous poppings, he leans out the window, throws both hands up and shouts, "Amer'ca!"
Junkyard Gem: 1997 Dodge Ram 2500, Vanlife Edition
Sun, Aug 28 2022During my journeys through the big self-service car graveyards of Colorado's Front Range, I find some interesting art cars and labor-of-love hand-built camping vehicles, plus lots of machines with impressively high final odometer readings. Today's Junkyard Gem is one that combines all three types in one fascinating late-20th-century package. I shot these photos way back in December of 2019, just before the pandemic sent thousands of new adventurers pursuing #vanlife dreams on the roads of North America. This '97 Ram three-quarter-ton van is the third generation of a Chrysler van lineage stretching back to 1970. It began life as a 127" wheelbase cargo version with the Maxi stretched rear. The 2500 Maxi's total length of just over 19 feet made it a good starting point for a camper conversion. MSRP for this hauler was $19,600 when new, or about $36,505 in 2022 frogskins. So much work went into this Ram's interior fittings and exterior paint that I knew I'd be able to find something online about its history. After a few fruitless attempts soon after I shot the photos, I back-burnered my Adventure One Van research project for a while. Then, just last weekend, success! It turns out that this van was customized by Antonio de Irun, a multidisciplinary artist in Boulder, Colorado. He refers to this Dodge as an "Adventure Reform Van" and there's a page documenting its construction on the website of a Florida custom-van company. Most of the nice stuff that was inside got removed before the van entered the junkyard ecosystem, but you can see the general structure of the living and storage layout. Plenty of carpentry and upholstery work went into the Adventure Reform Van aka Adventure One. There's electrical wiring, insulation, everything needed for life on the road. Many, many hours of work must have gone into the intricate paint designs all over the vast expanse of Ram Maxi body. So why didn't this van survive into the era of pandemic vanlife? I think this odometer tells us why: 292,844 total miles, of which I'm assuming 200,000 miles were spent on a powertrain-punishing life of deliveries and trips to job sites. The engine is this 5.9-liter Magnum V8, a modernized version of the good old LA-series 360 equipped with the distinctive "beer barrel" intake manifold and rated at 234 horsepower and 330 pound-feet. The 360 first hit the road in the 1971 model year, with production of 360s and the later Magnum 5.9s continuing well into our current century.
