DESCRIPTION
The Dodge B3B Pilothouse pick-up truck was considered by many to be the finest and most advanced pickup of its day. Manufactured from 1948 to 1953 the B-series advanced and handsome cab styling, referred to as the ""pilothouse safety cab"", made significant improvements in driver visibility, the front axles and wheels were set 8 inches further back in conjunction with moving the engine slightly forward creating greater payload ratings without adding more weight to the rear axle and springs.
This particular 1952 ""B3B"" half-ton pick-up was treated to a frame-off restoration 3 years ago. Always kept in a garage and used very little, it retains its original drive train, original red oak planks stripped and refinished, comes complete with nostalgic genuine cowhide hide floor mats & cork covered steering wheel, all duties paid. A complete restoration was completed 3 years ago and as such looks fabulous and is finished to a very very high standard.
