1950 Dodge B-2 B - The B-series pickup trucks were sold from 1948
to 1953. They replaced the prewar Dodge truck and were replaced by
the Dodge C series in 1954. 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, moving from 116 in to 108 in on �-ton models.
The cargo bed sides were made higher to increase capacity by 40%.
The redesigned cab could seat three people, with 2.5 in more
height, 6 in more width and 3 in additional in length. The cab was
mounted on rubber mounts for an improved ride. Another innovation
for the time was the use of cross-steering arrangement, giving the
trucks a 37� turning radius. The cargo box space was increased over
previous models and overload springs made optional on all variants
to increase hauling capacity. In 1950, more new features were added
as the 3-speed manual shift lever was relocated to the steering
column instead of on the floor. We fell in love with this unique
Dodge classic truck at first sight! The patina is perfect and
something only mother nature could create over 75 years. The Joe
Phillips shop truck theme is obviously a recent addition and a
great tribute to the Burbank, CA dealership that originally sold
the truck in 1950. Some work may be needed to make this truck a
daily driver but for weekend cruises around town, this Dodge is
ready to go. In preparation for resale we had the floormat replaced
and the bench seat recovered in distressed Saddle vinyl. Features
include; 218ci Inline 6 Cyl (95hp), 3-on-the-Tree, RWD, Chrome
Grill, Chrome Mirrors, Power Steering, Spare Tire, Vent Windows,
15? Steel Wheels, and Wide White Wall Tires! We see a fair number
or Chevy and Ford trucks from this era but a Pilot-house Dodge is
one we seldom see. If you're in the market for a unique truck with
perfect patina, this B-2 B is one you don't want to let slip away!
