Wheel Base

[MarkAubuchon]

Where can I find, or does anyone know what the wheel base is for a 1950 B1B  standard bed.  My truck is a 100 miles away in storage.   Starting the research process for a frame upgrade   Mark

found this:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dodge_B_series

as the first result in a google search for '1950 dodge b1b wheelbase'.

The other place to easily look is under the "resource" tab in the banners of this forum.  There's a lot of information in there as well as using the "search" button for frame swaps.

Should be 108" if it is a standard 1/2 ton

thanks, this next  comment will reinforce that im not very computer savy. wheres the resource tab?

[HotRodTractor]

Its a tab at the top of the page - there is a ton of information in all of the categories. If you drill down through the DEPTCA section you'll come to this: http://dodgepilothouseclub.org/know/blueprints/index.htm

*not if you are here in a mobile phone. You gotta be on a desktop to see some of the board features.

The third character is the weight class.

B-1-B :   B = 1948-53  1= 1948/49  B = 1/2 ton

 

(further example: B-2-B : B = 48-53  2 = 1950  B = 1/2 ton) 

 

1/2 Tons are 108"  wheelbase.

 

The driver side door jam tag should tell you what you have (as long as its still readable)

If any of the previous owners swap tags, or swapped frames OR added length to the frame......

You'll need to post some pictures of what you have, so we can tell what you really have.

Paperwork is a pain, if it's not registered to the year it actually is.

If you bought a 1950 in 51....it would be registered  as 1951.
