UP FOR AUCTION IS THIS 1950 DODGE B3B HALF TON SHORTBOX, PILOT HOUSE PICKUP! YOU JUST DONT SEE THESE TRUCKS EVERYDAY WITH THE 5 WINDOW PILOT HOUSE CAB! THIS TRUCK IS VERY ORIGINAL, RIGHT DOWN TO THE FADED GREEN PAINT WITH BLACK BOX THAT HAS BEEN SUNBEATEN AND NOW SHOWS ITS AGE, YOU WONT BELIEVE HOW SOLID THIS TRUCK IS - ONLY 1 SPOT OF RUST THROUGH ON 1 OF THE STAKE POCKETS! IF I WERE TO GUESS, THE TRUCK DOES NOT LOOK LIKE IT HAS EVER BEEN PAINTED! JUST LOTS OF THAT COOL STYLE PATINA, THAT HAS BEEN EARNED BY THIS TRUCK OVER THE YEARS! THE TRUCK STILL RETAINS THE ORIGINAL OL' CHRYSLER INLINE 218 L HEAD ENGINE AND A 3 SPEED MANUAL TRANSMISSION WITH A COLMN SHIFTER (3 ON THE TREE). THE TRUCK REALLY RUNS AND DRIVES GREAT, ALWAYS STARTS RIGHT UP AND IS READY TO GO ANYWHERE! ITS A VERY RARE TRUCK AS THEY DID NOT MAKE AS MANY DODGE'S AS THEY DID FORD'S AND CHEVY'S! I'VE OWNED THE TRUCK FOR A FEW YEARS, AND USED IT FOR RUNNING BACK AND FOURTH TO WORK (2 MILES) AND USED IT FOR MY RIDE TO BACK TO THE FIFTIES THE LAST 2 YEARS IN ST PAUL MN. I WAS TOLD THE ENGING WAS REBUILT AND IVE REPLACED ALL OF THE BRAKES, INCLUDING SHOES AND HARDWARE, WHEEL CYLINDERS, HOSES AND MASTER CYLINDER- (OVER $1,000) THERE ARE 4 WIDE WHITE WALL RADIAL TIRES ON ORIGINAL STYLE RED RIMS WITH PLYMOUTH HUBCAPS - SUPER COOL!! I HAD THE FUEL TANK CLEANED AND LINED WHEN I GOT THE TRUCK - IT DOES NEED A SENDING UNIT, BUT WS NOT A BIG DEAL TO ME!! THE TRUCK, LIKE I SAID DOES SHOW ITS AGE - THE GLASS IS HAZING, THE WOOD IN THE BED IS GONE AND COVERED WITH A NEW SHEET OF PLYWOOD AND PAINTED BLACK THE SEAT IS TORN IN A FEW SPOTS, ITS A COOL OLD TRUCK THAT YOU CAN HAVE LOTS OF FUN WITH-AS IS OR GET CRAZY AND GIVE IT A COMPLTE RESTORATION! THE ART ON THE SIDES OF THE TRUCK REALLY GETS PEOPLE TALKING, JOE PHILLIPS WAS THE FIRST DODGE DEALER IN CALIFORNIA - WEVE DRESSED THIS ONE UP AS HIS OFFICIAL PARTS RUNNER COMPLETLY HAND PAINTED - EVEN ON THE OAK BOARDS USED FOR THE BED RACK!! THIS TRUCK GETS LOOKS EVERYWHERE IT GOES!
