Vehicle Description
In the 1930s, pickup trucks were coming into their own in the
civilian market. While pickup trucks had been around nearly as long
as cars had, it was only in the 1930s that they started to become
the symbol of rugged durability that they are today. Chrysler first
entered the truck market in the 1930s, sensing that sales could be
gained by competing with Ford and GMC. While the Dodge Power wagon
is a timeless classic, many other beautiful Dodge trucks were
introduced for various purposes. From a humble 2WD half-ton to a
rugged 4x4 one-ton like this 1947 Dodge WD-21, Dodge had you
covered for all your truck needs!
This 1947 Dodge WD-21 (engineering code T116) has been fully
restored to a quality degree. The black paint is gorgeous, and
really highlights the imposing nature of a vehicle this size and
caliber. The chrome bumpers and other accents really complement the
black, giving this truck a classy and coordinated look. The
refinished wood bed slats are the perfect eye-catching piece on
something pure black like this Dodge, a reminder of both styling
cues and automotive designs of yesteryear. Everything cosmetic
about this truck screams utilitarian, but there's just something
about it that is quietly attractive!
The interior is the perfect color choice for a black painted
vehicle; black. A subtle reminder of the original intended purpose
for the truck, the all black interior keeps the no-frills theme of
this Dodge. When we say no-frills, we mean no-frills. Just look at
it! No radio, no A/C, no anything. It has heat, which would've been
a winter necessity for any working person needing full time use of
their truck, but beyond that it has the bare minimum of what you
need to get rolling. The foot pedal starter is another neat
reminder of how things once were, and the shifter makes you feel
like you're behind the wheel of a school bus! Driving this Dodge is
an experience; this is what driving a real truck is like. The
interior is in excellent overall condition, showing minor wear in
areas as it is an older restoration that has been properly
maintained.
Split into two pieces, the hood panels raise up independently for
easy access to the engine compartment. Dodge Power Wagon badges on
the hood panels are a tasteful addition! Under the hood is what
appears to be a 230 cubic inch Dodge inline six engine. This engine
has the correct T116 engineering code stamped into it indicating
that it came from a Dodge pickup of the correct generation. This
engine runs quietly and smoothly, and while this truck isn't fast
there's no doubt that you could pull down a house in "granny low"!
While you may not be able to actually pull down a house, it sure
feels like this workhorse would do it. The transmission shifts like
you would expect an un-synchronized to. With no power steering,
this truck steers like it was built for a lumberjack! Given the
size, durability, and ground clearance, perhaps it was. Though it
has manual drum brakes, they seem to be dialed in right as this
truck stops on a dime!
This Dodge was a magazine feature vehicle, and has a typewritten
list of all restoration items performed when it was restored. There
is no doubt that this vehicle was restored with skill to high
standards, and it certainly shows. If you're looking for something
unique with that simple look of rugged durability, this black on
black one-ton may just be the truck for you.
