Super rare super cool super desirable 1948 Dodge B1C three quarter ton pickup, it's a 100% rot free truck having lived in high altitude New Mexico .
Hot rod, lower it, your choice or simply leave it alone! It is 100% rot free, the cab, floors, corners, chassis etc where they normally rust out are perfect. Any rust is simply surface rust. No rust buckets here!!!!
Originally a red truck, it was painted green many years ago when it was used by the US forest service.
Today it has great patina that only mother nature can produce
5 window Pilot house cab
High altitude New Mexico truck hence great solid metal
Flathead straight 6 motor with 4 speed manual floor change transmission
Engine was rebuilt several years ago
Starting system converted to 12 volts
The screen glass and door glass have cracks , other glass is good , damaged glass is simply flat laminated and available from most glaziers.
Excellent un-butchered interior
Lovely straight panels
Great example of a straight forward solid project. Crying out to be restored!
The truck starts runs and drives very well but will require usual recommissioning and the brakes etc going through before hitting the highway.
There are currently no brakes, so they'll need going through however the complete system. master cylinder , wheel cylinders and hoses can be bought for around £300 so it's no big deal. The engine will need usual servicing too.
Please be assured that all parts for these trucks are readily available both in the UK and in the US so keeping her on the road is easy and inexpensive.
I can also arrange delivery of this truck
Finally serious interested parties please call Pete on the details below, please no lowballers , tyre kickers, please be realistic with your expectations. This is still a 74 year old truck, as such it will drive like one and not like your 2013 BMW. You can secure the truck with a £500 deposit.
Sourcing , procuring and shipping these vehicles is a time consuming and expensive task. Everything has increased in price due to the pounds weakness since the brexit vote. Shipping alone has increased more than 25% in last few months. The values of these vehicles are only going one way
