Vehicle Description
1952 Dodge Pickup Truck
Why This Vehicle is Special
The B-series pickup trucks were sold from 1948 to 1953. The
B-series trucks featured a high-visibility "pilot-house" cab with
optional rear quarter windows. The engine was shifted forward and
the front axle moved back on the frame for better weight
distribution as well as a shorter wheelbase and the cargo bed sides
were made higher to increase capacity by 40%.
The redesigned cab could seat three people and the cab was mounted
on rubber mounts for an improved ride.
We have a much modified 1952 Dodge "Pilot House" Pickup Truck here
