1947 Job Rated Dodge Trucks -- From the Factory to YOU!

From Something Weird Video Lifestyle USA Vol 15 www.somethingweird.com/advanc... What is Job Rating? (b&w) is a 26-minute sales pitch for Dodge in which a custom-designed Dodge truck is double-talked into being called "a job-rated vehicle." While most of this is the usual blah-blah-blah, it gets downright fetishistic when it travels through the bowels of an assembly line and lovingly gazes over factory parts - ooooh, look... engines... chassis... clutches - all scored to Ravel’s "Bolero!" One can easily imagine Dodge executives getting uncomfortably aroused by all this....

[@Martmns]

Well this definitely convinces me! My next fleet of new trucks are all gonna' be 1946 "Job Rated" Dodges! LOL!

[@ShannonFreng]

1946? If indeed this was made in 1947, then it would have been the '48 model year they were pitching.

I'm so glad I'm a Dodge truck owner. I'm on my 3rd classic now. A 68 D300 with a slant 6. It has a Dana 70 with 488 gears, top speed about 50 mph. it's so cool!

[@timothykeith1367]

@Andrew Sully I'd like to know too. I suspect its more related to brake capacity than the motor

[@glennb6224]

The government, EPA, and most of all the pension fund/investors that threaten the company monthly set all the requirements now, not the customer.

[@attackofthetheeyecreatures3472]

No, the company pays the politicians to ease regulations or just ship the job overseas.

Comrades, The Party knows what is best for us peasants.

An enjoyable presentation, certainly better than most I have seen. In 1980 I paid $50 for a 47 dodge 2-ton flat bed. Pulled it out of a black berry patch and restored it to good working order. The wiring and brakes were the big issues. The engine and running gear were fine.

[@christianguenther1276]

Back when things were built to LAST, and not thrown away after a year or so.

[@packingten]

I Had a 1 ton Dodge wrecker with the Red Ram hemi engine that truck was bullet proof.Prev owner put the biggest springs he could get on it and others said he pulled some semis w it.

[@stephenjohnston7330]

My dad drove one of these in Sydney Australia during the late 1950s for Pepsi Cola, after watching this guy I want one too !

[@frankreynolds445]

It is the they don't build like they used to. I got a used TV in 2008 that was over 10 years old and it still works. I see people buy flat screen TV and in a year or two it is in the garbage. I have a clock radio from 1969 and I still using it today.

Good job and love truck is beautiful 1947 Dodge 👍🥰

[@stephaneracicot791]

I NEED A CIGAREET AFTER WATCHING THIS

[@bigjohn6405]

Boy, those days are long gone. Now they just engineer the cost out the truck=the cheaper to buid

I know im asking randomly but does someone know of a tool to log back into an instagram account? I stupidly forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can give me!

[@ashtonlangston4490]

@Lawrence Juan I really appreciate your reply. I got to the site thru google and im trying it out atm. Seems to take a while so I will get back to you later when my account password hopefully is recovered.

[@ashtonlangston4490]

@Lawrence Juan It did the trick and I actually got access to my account again. Im so happy! Thanks so much you really help me out :D

[@lawrencejuan3106]

@Ashton Langston no problem =)

I own a 1989 dodge w350, so far so go.

[@tobyhenry8379]

Dodge is still good in my book.

[@cwqrpportable]

In my books too

[@timbrady6473]

Bolero applied to an assembly line. I needed a cigarette after the trucks shot out of the factory doors.

[@kenc4240]

Dodge Thru And Thru Awsome !!!!

[@intuitive7274]

I remember when I was a kid. Dodge slogan was. " JOB RATED"

[@ahidaraigoza209]

Love dodge...

[@benvoncannon7430]

Dang sold me too what a fine truck. Ride it right

[@coriscodealmeida1558]

does anyone have subtitles for the movie Jimmy, The Boy Wonder (1966)? I need a lot...

[@120masterpiece]

Back then they actually care about making a good product. Dodge, Ford and GM worked day and night to create something better than the other. Now, all they want is to suck the most money out of their customers with stupid, cheap, chinese gimmicks.

[@Jobratedman]

Don't know about that. My 2019 Ram is a fine truck, does all that i would expect.

[@120masterpiece]

@@Jobratedman lol come back to me when you have to pay for repairs from the Chrysler dealership.

[@Jobratedman]

@@120masterpiece I'd likely be too old to care about it then...

Sweet frog eyed classics .

[@paulhowe9802]

Loads loads loads!

[@dannynye1731]

How many different driveline, chassis combos does Dodge offer now? Not that many

[@williamj515]

So what would happen six months later the company started hauling something with different load requirements, would he have to get another new truck?

[@highwatercircutrider]

Yup, and they were cheap enough back then that he could afford to change truck models as needed !

[@WSNO]

Back then things didn't change so quickly. While the trucks were cheap enough comparatively to modern ones that a company could afford to buy new ones often, there wasn't much need to. If the company was hauling chicken feed to farms in rural Nebraska, they'd be doing just that for decades and making good money doing it.

[@fordtruxdad5155]

OK ... You're a real car guy if you can tell me what's different about the lug application at 1:19 !🤔

[@coolhandchris5960]

Needs a bigger watermark, someone might use this and not make a dime

[@leperwolf7287]

why do I feel so empty inside?

[@1964catt]

cause dodge went to crap during the 90's and is getting worse every year and there not made in the usa any more and there owed by fiat in europe.

[@leperwolf7287]

@@1964catt yep. That'd do it.

[@benvoncannon7430]

I want one to Cruise around looking for something to do. So empty for shure
