what year?

[DLK]

We were on a Gettysburg trip and when visiting the Eisenhower Farm I saw this old Dodge truck sitting on blocks in a shed on the farm. I am not very knowledgeable about changes in the early 50's trucks. I would guess this was about a 54 model but am not sure they came with a V-8 that year (see emblem on hood). Can someone enlighten me what year this truck is?

It looks like a 55 to me also. The V8 became available in the last half of 1954 production.

Curved windshield makes it a 55 second series or a 56.

Thanks guys. Unfortunately the condition of that truck reflects the condition of the vehicles there. They have a 55 Chrysler Imperial in the Eisenhower garage that looks like it's been out of service since Ike left the White House.
