It should say on the serial # tag   maybe B 2 D  from 1950.  Certainly 48 to 50 .

You have the model right on the Vin tag in the photo above but the pic is cut off right where it says model.

It's a 1948 B-1- F to a   B-1-G or  B-1-H model Truck....    1-1/2 to light duty 2 tonner.

The pillar tag will read after Model like say B-1-FA-152

Defined as a 1948  1-1/2 ton ... 2 speed rear axle.. 152" wheel base

 

The "B" is the series of Dodge trucks

The "1" means 1948

The "F" means 1-1/2 ton rating

The  "A" means 2 speed rear axle

and the "152" tells the wheel base length

 

The Tag tells it all... lets see it!

I eventually sold the red one in this post on ebay.   It went to a guy down in Florida.  I think he uses it as a store front attraction.   This truck was part of a Virginia estate.     Soon after I bought a property in Southern Oregon....and what do I find on the property?   Yep, another one!

However, this one is not in as good as shape.  It is a 5 window.  It has a lot of the parts on the bed.   Unlike the Virginia truck, this truck is rust free and the paint may be original

I could sell it, but I would rather give it to someone that really wants it and is willing to put in the work to bring it back

If you are interested, contact me.

Very good of you to make that offer. Hope you find someone that will rescue it.

Apparently, no one is interested.

If I put it on craigslist, they will come, but the "they" around here are the type that will take it only to let it rot in a field somewhere

you offer to give it away....come get it....but if you put it on craigslist you worried it may just sit in the other man's yard....either way....you gonna win...the vehicle is clear of you and your property.....I find it very strange a man want to dictate beyond ownership the extend of the items eventual fate...but I do get your sentiment...it is often just unreal I think.

I'm way interested -

However (there is always one of these)...  :-)

I'm likely moving fall of 2019, so that would mean moving it now, and then again in about 8 months.   You are probably 2000 miles from me... the good news is ;  I'm likely moving closer.

 

At the very least, it's a treasure trove of parts I could use here and there on mine.

 

If you still have it summer of 2020 - let me know.

It’s in amazing shape. It’s hard to believe no one is jumping on this. Around here we deal with salt and you never see a truck body in that good of shape.

Better yet, I'd take it down to the BBQ in April and leave it for the BBQ goers to work on every year...... you know, cause some guys can't sit still (then I'd bring it home) ?
