For sale at our Gateway Classic Cars Dallas/Fort Worth Showroom is
a 1959 Dodge D-100. From 1957 to 1959, Dodge proposed the Sweptside
pickup, a rival to the Chevrolet Cameo Carrier, but it never became
a best-seller. A flat-sided (and thus wider) "Sweptline" cargo box
came in 1959. The company also adopted the standard pickup truck
numbering scheme, also used by Ford and GM at that time. Thus, the
� ton Dodge was now called the D100. A traditional separate-fender
body "Utiline" version was also built which had a GVWR of 9,000 lb
(4,100 kg). The D-100 was considered a workings man's truck back in
the day. It's somewhat of a rarity to locate these in good shape
because of this. However, this owner has been able to do just that.
This 1959 is only a 2-OWNER vehicle! That's right, just 2 owners
throughout its lifetime! This vehicle was bought and owned by a
gentleman in California way back in 1959 (Owner provided original
bill of sale). He held on to it and used this vehicle all the way
up until about 2 years ago, when it was then purchased by the
present owner today. The original owner loved this truck so much,
he gave it a front/back full restoration (approximately 2006) a few
years before selling this vehicle. Restoring it back to the shape
he had previously purchased/received it in 1959. This vehicle is
powered by a 318 V-8 engine and 4- speed transmission. Other
eye-catching features include: Very clean interior, old school
air-vent in the cab, chrome grill/hubcaps highlighting the word
"Dodge" on each (No mistaking this one for a Chevy) & in my
opinion, a beautiful looking woodgrain bed laid throughout. This
most certainly was a quality work truck back in the day, but it's
ready to go to work for you now! To see 100+ HD pictures and videos
