Up for auction is my 1953 Dodge Pilothouse B4B pickup. This truck is still mostly all original, including most of the paint. It has a great patina that is hard to see in the photos. I bought the truck 4 years ago from the second owner. He had it for over 5 years, but I don't believe he ever drove it. When I got it I had to rebuild all 4 brake assemblies, replace the water pump and thermostat, had the radiator cleand and cored, removed gas tank and had it cleaned and sealed and replaced the fuel sending unit. All gauges work except the temp. gauge. I installed an aftermarket temp gauge so I could drive it and monitor the temp. All the lights work except for the aftermarket turn signals that were installed by the second owner. Don't think it would take much to fix them, I just never bothered. The truck starts easily, still has the original 6 volt system. It runs quietly and does not smoke. Interior: seat cover has been replaced and is in excellent condition, as is the the headliner and the door panels. Dash is in great shape other than where someone cut a radio mounting hole in it. Been looking for a radio plate cover but haven't found one yet. Clutch is solid, and tranny shifts easily. I think the glass is all original. It is showing signs of cloudiness around the edges, more of that great patina. The thing needing the most attention on this truck is the wooden bed. Someone painted it white after putting some type of wood filler in a couple of the corners. Replacement bed floor kits are readily available. Truck is solid nderneath with very little rust showing anywhere. I'm selling this truck because I bought a 50 Chevy and I can't drive them both. I'll be happy to answer any questions. If you want to talk, send me an email with your phone number and I'll call you back. Thanks for looking, Rob
