Vehicle Description
The B-series trucks featured a high-visibility "pilot-house" cab
with optional rear quarter-windows. The redesigned cab could seat
three people. The cab was mounted on rubber mounts for an improved
ride. Another innovation for the time was the use of a
cross-steering arrangement, giving the trucks a 37-degree turning
radius. The cargo box space was increased over previous models, and
overload springs were made optional on all variants to increase
hauling capacity. This example has only 37 miles since a complete
restoration to show quality. It features a rebuilt Flathead
6-cylinder engine and 4-speed manual freshly synchronized
transmission with a new clutch. It also has upgraded front disc
brakes, oak bed stained black, rare dual horns, original air and
oil filters, and a vintage oil bath. It has all-new brakes,
bearings in rear end, new glass and seals. The body and frame was
bead-blasted, sealed with epoxy primer and then finished. It has a
new 12-volt wiring system and factory original stainless grille
bars. Interior features include rare and reupholstered factory
vented pressure-controlled seat, customized factory working gauges
and the factory-original spare tire carrier. It has a working
factory-optional heater, spotlight, factory mirrors, bumpers and
brackets as well as new tires.
