Up for sale is a 1951 Dodge B3-F series flatbed dully truck.  This is NOT a show truck, but is a ton of fun and fully functional.


This truck is in decent original shape...a good survivor.  Original color appears to have been dark blue, but was painted orange/red at some point.  Paint is in poor shape...and looks like it may have been brushed on?

I was told it had been used at a local mandarin ranch for many years hauling cases of oranges during harvest.  The previous owner stated that within the last 2 years the truck received four new tires, a rebuilt carb, the brakes were gone through and the new flatbed undercarriage was constructed. I can't confirm this is true, but things all seem to be working and the tires are in good shape.  The new flatbed structure appears well done and measures 12 feet long by 7 1/2 feet wide.  I have done no mechanical work on this rig aside from new engine oil and trans/differential fluid.  Have driven it about 25 miles in the last year or so...always fires up and chugs down the road.  45 MPH is the max I've had it to...

Body is in OK shape...minor dents and dings. no major rust.  The driver door seam is splitting and the door check is broken so the door overextends when open and is dented because of this.  Minor rust on the floorboards...no rust through or major issues. Seat cover is newer and in good shape.  Glass is all there and in OK shape.  Headliner is falling down.  

This is a 6 volt system that at some point in the past was converted from positive ground to negative ground.  fuel gage does not work, but all others (Speedo, odometer, voltmeter, temp) all seem to function properly.
Truck runs very smoothly, but need some tuning on the carb...bogs a bit w/o the choke partly opened while driving.  it has never overheated on me and does not really seem to leak any fluids to speak of.

many of the vent/air/heater pulls are frozen and would need some coaxing to get working.  Electric wipers do work.  

My research shows the truck has the following:
236 cu in flat 6 developing 109 horsepower.  (Engine number: T3I4-9I47)
4 speed manual on the floor 
GVW is 13500lbs

Comes with a clear California title and current California tags (just paid).  The VIN on the title matches a metal plate near the drivers side cowl/firewall in the engine bay.  The serial number on the removable data plate on the door jamb number does not match this VIN...but the data plate may not be original to the truck.  

Please don't expect perfection or a vehicle with no quirks.  It really could use some tinkering to make sure all the systems are up to speed and in good shape.
If you are the winning bidder, please plan for appropriate transportation of the vehicle to your location before committing to bid.  This is a BIG truck and I would guess prices will be higher than normal.  It is likely not practical to drive this home unless you are very close to the Sacramento area.  Also, please note that this truck MUST be picked up within 2 weeks of a winning bid...no exceptions.  I have to move it out...

Full payment within 3 days of a winning bid via cash in person, Paypal or certified check.  
Any questions please ask...I've tried to tell all that I know about this fun old truck. 

Vehicle is also for sale locally, so I reserve the right to end the auction early.
Thanks for looking...

2015 Ford Mustang vs. Camaro and Challenger [w/poll]

Thu, 17 Jul 2014

The horsepower wars are tightening among the Detroit Three, as the Ford Mustang, Chevrolet Camaro and Dodge Challenger are getting bigger, more powerful, and yes, more fuel efficient.
That came into sharper focus this week as more information was revealed about the most insane Challenger ever - the 707-horsepower Hellcat - followed quickly by Ford's in-depth showcase of the 2015 Mustang in Dearborn.
It's shaping up to be a golden age for enthusiasts, and what's under the hood is becoming more important than ever.

Chrysler slows minivan production, hasn't built VW Routan this year

Wed, 13 Mar 2013

Chrysler has slowed production of its Town and Country and Dodge Grand Caravan minivans this week, Automotive News reports. The Windsor, Ontario plant will cut its three shifts from eight hours each to four hours each in an effort "to align production with market demand," a Chrysler spokesperson told AN. Chrysler also builds the closely related Routan minivan for Volkswagen at its Ontario facility, but has not built a single example thus far in 2013.
Sales of Chrysler's minivans fell 15 percent for the first two months of 2013, and a large part of that has to do with the 26-percent drop of the Grand Caravan alone (the T&C was only down by one percent). According to Automotive News data, as of March 1, Chrysler had an unsold inventory of 24,713 Town and Country models and 18,547 Grand Caravans - a 69- and 43-day supply, respectively.
"No sense running full speed now, then have a lot of vehicles sitting around a few months down the line," Chrysler spokeswoman Jodi Tinson told AN. Full production is expected to resume again on March 18.

2015 Dodge Challenger R/T Scat Pack

Fri, 24 Oct 2014

We all knew That Kid. As a freshman, he was a big kid, overweight but surprisingly strong. Still, he was often picked on for his size. Then, he chatted with the football coach, who convinced him that his true calling was on the team's offensive line. After a season on the freshman squad and a summer of two-a-days, this mild-mannered, husky high schooler returned for his sophomore year as a big, imposing, solid piece of muscle. Needless to say, the same bullies that picked on him were praying he'd forgotten about them as a 10th grader.
That's the V8-powered 2015 Dodge Challenger. It arrived on the scene with a max of 425 horsepower and a bit of a weight problem. It completed its proverbial freshman year with a nice 2011 refresh, where the SRT8 was bumped up to 470 hp, but it still had some work to do.
Enter 2015, and fresh off three months of constant burpees and wind sprints, the newest Challenger is as big and powerful as it's ever been, but it's now got poise and potential, and my goodness, it's fun in a way that Dodge's muscle car has never been.
