Rare?

[Vintrader]

This 51 truck has been on ebay and the auction is over in 2 days. Besides looking like a very original western truck in way better than average condition. By the S/N 833670331951 looks like a B3C - 116 wb. I don't think I have ever seen the low sided box on a express chassis? It is also a 4 speed Fluid Drive.

I would agree that they are pretty rare. Besides this one I have only seen 1 other in about 20 years of looking.

I just noticed this truck is also listed in the Trucks For Sale section of this forum. No price.

Time for a dumb question:

What is an "express chasis"?

That truck looks like mine, except mine is in a thousand pieces on my garage floor.

Only the 1/2 ton trucks were called "Pickups". 3/4 and 1 ton trucks with a "pickup" bed were called "Express" trucks.

I talked to Matt, a very nice fellow selling this truck and ask him for the model number stamped on the ID plate. ( B3C 116 ) So it was in fact a Express Model 3/4 ton. He had just made a deal to sell it for $6250.00

Any comments on that price?

Do you think it was fair?

Do you think it was a good deal for the Buyer?

There have been a number of discussions on the forum about Values of Pilot House Trucks. What do ya think?

Turns out I had meet Matt, he had another truck for sale that I looked at this spring. He had no idea what this Dodge was really worth, but was happy with the sale.
