Reg, I would love to trade for a 7 1/2 foot pickup bed. Drive on out to Ohio and we'll make the swap!

The previous owner was looking for a 100 point restoration, so he removed the stake bed and had new crossmembers fabricated, had the stakes powder-coated, and and made new wood bedsides and gate with inlaid wood. All very nice. However, before he put it back together, he went to bed one night and didn't wake back up. So I now own a spotlessly restored truck with the bed in a hundred pieces. It's a puzzle that I expect to complete years before the other projects are finished. I have just started a home inspection company as a second career, and may use the truck as a gimmick. Gives me an excuse to drive it, right? Just need to get the doors painted with some '40s lettering.

The previous owner of my new truck. His name was McKitrick, passed away last November. I bought this truck from his son today.

Thanks, guys. It seems that I just bought a 1948 B-1-C stake bed truck.

Can someone explain the different models of Dodge trucks for me? Like B-1-B and B-2-C? What do the different letters and names represent?
