Young Ed Posted August 22, 2011 Report Share Posted August 22, 2011 First one is a 39 dodge looks like its a cowl and chassis that would have had an aftermarket body on it( I doubt it started out with the same aftermarket body it has now) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JBNeal Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 (edited) SURVIVOR: found 3 B-2s, 3 B-3s and a B-1 at the salvage yard north of Denton...looks like one has a fluid drive; another has a familiar looking mirror bracket; and the former highway department truck has an interesting radio installed: Edited May 17, 2021 by JBNeal revised information Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure ggdad1951 would like that center bar with the rear view mirror too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Young Ed Posted February 23, 2012 Report Share Posted February 23, 2012 Thats just a car radio and its not the right mirror either. Might be the right mirror bar though its hard to tell in the photo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Might be the right mirror bar though its hard to tell in the photo. Do any of the car radios fit in the 51-53 trucks perfectly? I knew the mirror wasn't right, but I thought the bar might be, but it is hard telling. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I knew the mirror wasn't right, but I thought the bar might be, but it is hard telling. I believe any of the 51-54 plymouth radios will fit perfectly. The speaker might be slightly different. Probably the same for other mopars in that time range. Not a very close up shot but here's the radio in my 51 plymouth Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Boger Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 I have mine, and then there is the 1 ton flat bed 2 miles down the road that's not for sale. Wasn't for sale 20 years ago either when we tried to buy it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scruffy49 Posted July 17, 2012 Report Share Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) I have my beater 49, know where there is a 51 or newer about 20 miles away. Have seen a couple year unknown (just saw the beds or tailgates) right era within a few miles. A couple 48-50s in the immediate vicinity (next person wanting to buy mine for parts gets shot). Back in Washington I could put my hands on 5 48-50 1/2 ton panels on my routes. That green and cream SS clone... swap the green over to dark blue, paint the wheels dark blue, and make it a 3 window cab and you have where mine is heading. But, my bumpers and guards and such aren't getting chromed (hate that stuff). Edited July 17, 2012 by Scruffy49 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave5711 Posted August 26, 2012 Report Share Posted August 26, 2012 the B-3 grain truck sitting next to the barn on the east side of the county is completely obscured by sunflowers, but I was able to take a pic of the flatbed sitting over at the nursery a few miles away: I recognize the fenders Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
