1955 Dodge Job Rated Custom 1/2 Ton V8 4sp pickup

Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1955

Very solid and mostly complete light duty 62 year old American pickup. I was lucky enough to find this vehicle owned by an elderly couple after the husband passed away. She told me he drove it home after purchasing it from another elderly man over ten years ago. I have done some research on this vehicle and found they are very rare. I had planned to build a custom vehicle, but after learning the current book values andlearning that one sold recently on a major auction for $90K, I gave it a second thought. I have disassembled much of the vehicle and found only a few bolts that would not spin out. The condition is actually much better than I originally thought. A pin hole or two in the floor is all. Cab corners and fenders are solid. Running boards are good and the front and back glass are not cracked.The bed is a little rough and thebottom tube of the tailgate is rusted through. Has old bucket seats but no modifications to floor. I can reattach the cab, doors and sheet metal for shipping if needed. The rest can be boxed up and placed in the cab, including the glass. Early Mopar V8 restoration project. Cowl tag missing but framenumbers match VIN on title and engine numbers appear to match.
