Larry Leibhart Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 The X behind the serial number means it was an early production B2B from Aug through Oct of 1949. It was built in Detroit not California. There was six body colors Armour Yellow, Granite Gray, Red, Dark Green, Deep Blue and Black. Quote
Larry Leibhart Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 The first place to look for parts is to hit the links directory button across top of page then click on suppliers under categories. Quote

5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 Any takers on what the hook is above the steering wheel??? Quote
Larry Leibhart Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Is this hook on the dash or up by the sun visor? Does not sound like original equipment. Might need a picture. Quote
johnsartain Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Ok here goes, Back in the the 50's they didn't have cell phones but they did have clipboards,. They hung them there so they could text while they drive. Seriously though, all jokes aside, the only thing I can think of that you may be refer to as a hook may be the one to each side of the mirror that the sun visor would tuck into. Quote
5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 This is about 6in straight up from the steering colum....I can try a pic but I'm computer illiterate... Quote
johnsartain Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 That has to be something a previous owner added, My 1950 B2B didn't have anything above the Steering column. I browsed the parts manual I have and there wasn't anything I could reference the would come close to what you have described thus far. The picture would remove any ambiguity. Quote
5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 I will post a pic tomorrow if I can do it Quote

Nope the visor had no hook. An owner add on. Quote

I know they were on mine but was sure about if they belonged without having ever seen the inside of another 1950 B2B. I got to looking for the ones I took off, but it appears I am missing them at the moment. They appeared to be more like the garment rod hangers they put centered over the door of passenger cars. I guess there may have been a problem with the sun visor sagging, ther reason they were put there. Quote
5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 Ok I took a pic but don't know how to make it 3mb or whatever they want so I can upload it Quote
Merle Coggins Posted October 9, 2017 Report Posted October 9, 2017 Pretty heavy duty hook. Certainly didn't come from Dodge. Quote
5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 Looks factory thou doesn't it???? Quote
5027 steve Posted October 9, 2017 Author Report Posted October 9, 2017 I'm wondering at one time a compass was it???? Quote
