Foe sale is my 1952 Job Rated Dodge B3C 3/4 ton pickup truck. A VIN DECODER search (photo provided) on this truck indicates it was manufactured in 1952 in Detroit, MI, but later titled in 1953 (photo provided). I have over the years found this to be a common thing back with these older vehicles. I call it a 1952 because that was the year it was manufactured. The B-series trucks featured a high-visibility "pilot-house" cab with optional rear quarter windows.The term 'Pilot House' was coined by Dodge to describe the taller cab and larger windshield glass area which offered a better view of the road.The long bed has the finished oak wood lining that was popular for this truck. It has the 6 flathead 218 ci engine with the 4 speed manual clutch on the floor that is original to this model. The flat head in-line 6 engine holds over 40 pounds of oil pressure, and boasts 108 hp with 175 lb-ft of torque. I have also uploaded a video driving the truck on the highway.Odometer is 51,000 miles and title is clean and in my name. The truck has new tires on it and has no rust and has been garage kept, only driven in nice weather. In place of the ashtray is a phone holder that fits perfectly. I have a radio tucked inside the glove compartment of the truck. I recommend painting the truck down the road, as there are some fade areas in the paint. Truck also comes with 2 new spare 6V batteries, 4 spare tires and battery charger as added benefit. It runs great on standard 6V ignition system with no startup problems. I recommend using a battery maintainer to trickle charge with these old trucks if sitting a while. Truck gets up to about 55 mph when driven. Shop manual also included with a new spare oil filter. Please ask questions if you have them, I know this truck well. Thanks for looking.*At time of sale, buyer is personally required to pickup vehicle and make payment at Sellers location.
