JPP Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 When I salvaged my truck from its previous owner, who had it buried in a side hill, it came with two different doors. So the question I have is which is right. As you can see the drivers side door has no vent and the passanger side does. Not sure which is original, too many coats of paint to tell. I heard on a another truck line (Chevy) that vent windows didn't come out till 1952, well this is a '50 B2B. So I was wondering is this the same for Dodge. As you can see this is a driver, I use it as my farm truck, so no parades or shows, just original 218 and all stock as much as I can afford, or else I use what I can get away with, used tires from a Jeep in the rear, Napa mirrors, this list goes on. Again just wondering. Presentation1.pdf Quote
Larry Leibhart Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 With the rear corner windows the pickup was originally a custom cab model with vent windows. Somewhere in the past the drivers door was replaced with the standard cab door. Quote
ggdad1951 Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 all the B series trucks had vent windows as an option depending on cab style Quote
Los_Control Posted March 10, 2018 Report Posted March 10, 2018 I could be wrong here, is my understanding that you can add the divider and wing window to a door without wing window. It just depends how was ordered from factory as to which is original. I like the vents myself. Quote
JPP Posted March 10, 2018 Author Report Posted March 10, 2018 There is a tab that is welded to the door sill that the vent pillar bolts to. If it is there a non vent window would hit it. So I think there were two doors. As for the custom features, yes I have both driver and passenger side sun visor, heater, seat ride comfort damper, and radio. A real rich mans truck, ha ha. Quote
