Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1953

“BESSIE”

1953 Dodge 1/2 Ton B Series Pilothouse Truck

Here’s your opportunity to own a rare 1953 Hemi powered Dodge truck. This classic has sat much of the last 50 years passing time in a southern Illinois field. With a patina all it’s own this truck brings the "just pulled out of the field” appearance together with a modern era 5.7 Hemi tucked under the hood with a rumble you hear before you see it.

Cradled on an s-10 chassis the stance of this truck sets itself apart. No lowering spindles were used in the front, with only a 1” lowering block in the rear giving this truck an excellent ride quality.

2013 Dodge Ram Hemi 400 HP motor, 5 Speed automatic, 28,000 miles, 373 Posi rear end, sitting on a 1980’s S-10 frame coated with flexible bed liner coating.
