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. Before you read, Please note the following: If you are the winning bidder, this truck MUST BE PICKED UP IN AUBURN CA PRIOR TO JULY 9th. No Exceptions...we are moving. 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, HEAVY, OLD 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. Again, please note that this truck MUST be picked up by July 9th...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...
