Dave72dt Posted September 3, 2012 Report Posted September 3, 2012 Just had a B1B show up in the town I work in a week ago. Owner came into the store acouple days ago so I gave him the forum address. Looks like a GM dark teal metalllic paint, grille panel was molded to the fenders, welting betweeen the rear fenders and box, whitewall tires, hand-fabbed running boards. Older rebuild, the box boards showed weathering, interior was nice, engine bay looked pretty correct for a quick glimpse, stainless pretty straight with a few small dings. Whomever built it, drove it. I'm thinking it came out of the eastern part of the state but that's just a guess. Quote
pflaming Posted September 3, 2012 Report Posted September 3, 2012 Saw these in Western Nebraska a couple of years ago. I think I know whose they are, and I think one could drive them with very little work. Both probably have bed dump hoists. Quote

richardb Posted January 19, 2013 Report Posted January 19, 2013 I like the fact that someone is trying to figure out how many trucks are left. I have a harder question to answer. I have a Canadian 1953 Dodge truck. How many were made and how many are left? I am rebuilding mine from the ground up and turning it into a hot rod. It should be an original? It would be interesting to find an answer to this question. Quote
