Vintage Dodge PU, Optional Power Wagon 4 speed, Optional "Big" Engine

Description for Dodge Other Pickups 1948

Time to sell this and travel a little. Bought in in January. 1995 in Helena. Montana. Drove it to and from work for about 6 years. summer and winter. Heater works but has recently developed a terrible whine until it warms up. The heater direction (windows or floor) broke off and needs to be welded) I have the original factory parts manual for the whole truck. I have used it to order everything from the clove box spring to the clutch in the starter motor. I have the factory service manual for the truck and another factory service manual for the engine. The motor was an optional upgrade in 48 to a Plymouth P15 flat head engine because it had a couple more cu in than the standard dodge engine so I bought the Plymouth manual. I also have the Motor's Manual covering the Truck and another Motor's Manual for the engine. These are the manuals used by old-time mechanics to work on all makes and models in propitiatory dealerships. I have various electronic manuals for specifics on current flow through circuits and setting dwell etc so you have many resources to check out when messing with the truck and engine. I will include the items mentioned here and will list several 40's/50's era test equipment in a separate auction. I am listing them separately because if you are going to add a bunch of 12 Volt electronics. I want to preserve the test equipment for someone who will use it. The books are available elsewhere but some of the test equipment is hard to find. If you don't want the books. let me know and I will give them to a friend that has a 52 Dodge 1/2 ton and can't afford the books. I re-listed the truck as an auction at a little less than offers I received during the buy-it-now listing. The dash looks like it is about to rust out. The rust-looking stuff is very light and nice and smooth so it will be easy to paint. The red stuff may even be primer because the previous owner painted the dash from a can. The floor mats are in pieces and small clumps of thick reddish matting appears to be rust in the pics too. it isn't. Questions. just ask. Great times and a great hobby. Happy Trucking.
