1963 DODGE POWERWAGON M37 4x4 MILITARY PICK-UP, inline 6-cylinder flat-head engine, 4-speed manual transmission, high/low range, PTO, 24-volt electric system, older 9.00X16" bias-ply rough-tread tires.  This truck runs and drives but the brakes will need bled and perhaps some other issues addressed (they worked enough for me to drive the truck several blocks to the storage unit where these photos were taken.  The engine starts nicely with no smoke, leaks, knocks or other unwanted noises.  The steering seems tight and the truck was a blast to drive.  The truck comes with the original military-issued shop manual and operators guide.  The vehcile appears nearly rust-free other than some minor surface rust and one small 1" diameter spot on the cowl near the driver's door. 

ENGINE:  inline 6-cylinder -- appears to be the original, NO SMOKE, KNOCKS or LEAKS that we can detect. We just rebuild the carburetor for depenbability.

TRANSMISSION:  4-speed manually-shifted -- appears to be the original unit. Also has what appears to be the original 4-wheel drive transfer case & PTO mechanism (the wench has been removed by the previous owner). 

BODY:  2-door conventional cab pick-up with 6.5' "step-side" cargo box, all factory original.

PAINT:  repainted from original military ODG to fire department red with white painted cab top.  Only one small rust spot on cowl near driver's door.  Lot's of patina/character on this one, but a rock-solid truck, needing repaint, complete restoration or enjoy 'as-is'. 

SUMMARY:  This is a nice truck and it's rare to find a retired military Powerwagon that hasn't been completely beat up.  While this one shows wear and tear, there's a lot to like about this truck...it's a restorer's paradise, or it's perfect for the weekend warrior wanting a dependable truck to use on their farm or hunting property. 

DISCLAIMER:  NO WARRANTY IS IMPLIED...TRUCK IS BEING SOLD 'AS-IS'.  I ENCOURAGE INTERESTED PARTIES TO CALL AND COME VIEW THIS TRUCK IN PERSON BEFORE BIDDING AS THE SALE IS FINAL.  We can assist a trucking company with loading, but shipping logistics and expenses are the sole responsibility of the purchaser. 

CALL DARRELL AT 816-812-1965 FOR MORE INFORMATION OR TO SET AN APPOINTMENT TO VIEW THE TRUCK IN PERSON.

Cars.com runs 11-second quarter with Dodge Charger Hellcat

Mon, Jun 1 2015

The Dodge Charger SRT Hellcat and its Challenger sibling are two of the heroes of the modern performance world. With a headline-grabbing 707 horsepower from a supercharged 6.2-liter V8, their output even shames many supercars. But how quick can one really cover a quarter mile? Cars.com recently decided to find out by taking a Charger Hellcat to the drag strip to see if the sedan lived up to Dodge's 11-second claims. The results were quite impressive. After 13 quarter-mile runs of adjusting variables like the tire pressures and the car's various electronic aids, the Charger Hellcat managed a pass in 11.03 seconds at 126.61 mph – the pinnacle result of the day. This car was mechanically stock and wore the optional Pirelli P Zero tires. According to Cars.com, other quick sprints reached 11.09 seconds and 11.1 seconds, which even beat the site's 11.41-second best from a Challenger Hellcat last year. Getting the Hellcat's prodigious power down without losing traction was a challenge, even on the summer tires. Cars.com thought it had a run that could have dropped below 11 seconds, but then the wheels spun. Using the factory-recommended pressures, the Charger Hellcat was no still slouch with an 11.27-second time recorded, but taking things down to 25 psi proved the quickest at the strip. We already knew that the Charger Hellcat was a wonderful vehicle for eating up huge gulps of asphalt at high speeds and could verify its 204-mile-per-hour top speed (quite a bit faster, incidentally, than the Ferrari California T's 196 mph top-speed). Apparently, the 11-second quarter-mile claim is just as accurate. Also, for any curious owners, the Cars.com story divulges many of the tweaks required to reach this seriously quick time.

Car dealership in East Texas destroyed by tornado

Tue, May 2 2017

Few things are as fundamentally and unconditionally destructive as a tornado. These cataclysmic phenomena pass through towns, leaving nothing in their wake but ruin and despair. According to an NBC affiliate in the Dallas-Fort Worth region, a car dealership in nearby Canton was hit by a tornado Saturday night. No employees were hurt. Four other people in the area weren't so lucky. Chrysler Dodge Jeep Ram of Canton's new showroom and service center were pounded by the storm, leaving dozens of cars in various states of ruin. Some merely lost windows, while others were flipped and left on their sides or roofs. Photos show piles of cars stacked up like Hot Wheels dumped on the ground. According to a statement from the National Weather Service, winds reached speeds of up to 140 mph. Two other tornadoes were reported in the region. The area has been declared a disaster zone and first responders from up to 100 miles away have swarmed in to help out those in need. According to Reuters, the storms Saturday killed 11 people nationwide.
