1948 Dodge B1B Pickup in Beautiful condition. 37,000 miles on odometer

Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1948

Vehicle was originally purchased as an appliance delivery truck for a store in eastern Pa. And after 30 years where it was found and completely rehabed. Subsequent to that rehab. the truck was frame-off stripped and all metalwork done with welding and new sheetmetal where needed. The next owner hand stripped all the original dodge red paint and all the chrome was re-chromed. or substituted NOS or original from donors. There is the original rear bumper stripped and repainted gloss to match the front in black. (not on truck but complete with brackets and fasteners). Original tube radio which worked at removal but was replaced with an AM-FM CD with removable frontpiece for better sound quality. Also there is an original oil-bath air cleaner that goes with vehicle. The bed was all redone with red oak and aluminum strips as well as pin striping and oak panels similar to a little red truck edition on the tailgate. The taillights. front signals. driving lights. outside mirrors were all replaced with new. The interior was gutted of all the factory cardboard panel junk and replaced with aluminum diamond plate which looks great. The heater core was cooked. releaded. painted and reinstalled and works well. Seat belts have been installed. All gauges work well and are original to the vehicle with the exception of the odometer which while it read approx. 37k three years ago when purchased was believed to be correct. I have diary-type service records from the last 25 years but the odomenter has ceased to function as of 37. 00 miles. There is also an oak and aluminum diamond-plate tool box bolted into the bed which I built and contains a new 3T service floor jack and a lug wrench if needed. The engine compartment was also completely detailed along with the battery box and exhaust system. I wouldn't go so far as to say this vehicle is anything more than a well taken care of driver. I will state that that it is one of the very nicest 48 year Dodge vehicles in the country and rare by virtue of the fact that there are just not many out there in this condition. Pictures of all of the above are available on request and thank you for reading and looking. This is quite a beauty and has won a few awards locally as I entered only 3 the past few years. nbsp;
