You are looking at a 1952 Dodge B-3-C 116 truck.  The B3 designation indicates model years 1951 and '52m the "C" designates 3/4 ton and the 116 is the wheelbase in inches. This vehicle has the groundbreaking Pilothouse cab which offered the 3 window array in the rear of the cab as well as a higher and wider seating position than other trucks of the time.  The powerplant here is the original 218 ci flathead six used for years by dodge in trucks and cars and known for reliability.


Our truck was manufactured at the plant in San Leandro, California and was originally sold to a Santa Rosa, Ca. business man by Sidlow Motors of San Bruno.  The purchaser used the truck sparingly as a delivery vehicle putting very few miles on it (the odometer reads 19,000 miles plus and the vehicle looks good enough for that mileage to be correct although I can't know for sure).  In the 1970's the truck was purchased by a Bay Area man who pampered and painstakingly restored it.  You can tell that it was his pride and joy.  In late 2010 his widow sold the truck to an Idaho collector/dealer and we purchased it from him in early 2011.

Paint is excellent and is in classic Dodge colors.  Interior completely redone in period correct brown vinyl.  New oak bed beautifully finished.  Undercarriage is spotless and completely painted.  New tires with spare.  Engine compartment spotless and the powerplant purrs.  All glass is good and appears to be original.  This truck is ready to show at a high level which we did at the prestigious Art of the Car Concours at the Kansas City Art Institute here in our area.

There are just a few things that I have not been able to resolve as follows:
Original choke knob is missing.  There is currently a brass knob serving the purpose and the choke works fine.  Haven't been able to find one to replace.
The original instrument cluster is non-functional but intact.  Speedometer and odometer work fine and there is an auxiliary temperature gauge to monitor coolant temp.
I have replaced the sockets for the parking lights as well as the bulbs, but they are not currently working and I haven't had an opportunity to go through the wiring and switch to find the problem.  Headlights work fine.
That's about it.  Otherwise this is an exceptionally fine restored classic pickup.

Sale will include original Service Certificate document, owner's manual, and dealer brochure as pictured.
Will help to coordinate shipping if necessary.
Check my feedback and bid with confidence.
Will answer any questions to the best of my ability.

IIHS says these are the safest cars of 2013

Wed, 02 Jan 2013

The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety (IIHS) has revealed its annual list of Top Safety Picks, an award that highlights automobiles it says offer "superior crash protection." A new and still more significant award, the Top Safety Pick+ honor, is given to those vehicles that earn good ratings for occupant protection in four out of five areas of measure. And while some 117 vehicles were given the TSP seal of approval for 2013, just 13 passed muster for TSP+.
To be fair, IIHS only evaluated 29 vehicles with its new testing procedures for TSP+ (we'd expect that the number of qualified cars will rise substantially for 2014). Luxury and Near Luxury midsize cars were the first groups evaluated, followed by midsizers in the Moderately Priced Cars category - unsurprisingly, it's only midsize cars that you'll find among the class this year.
Only two luxury sedans made the list of 13 for 2013: the Acura TL and Volvo S60. The other 11 cars on the list included entries from domestic, Japanese and German car makers: Dodge Avenger, Chrysler 200, Ford Fusion, Honda Accord (sedan and coupe), Kia Optima (but not its close kin, the Hyundai Sonata, strangely), Nissan Altima, Subaru Legacy and Outback, Suzuki Kizashi and the Volkswagen Passat all made the grade.

China's Great Wall confirms its interest — in Jeep, or all of FCA

Tue, Aug 22 2017

HONG KONG/SHANGHAI — Chinese automaker Great Wall Motor reiterated its interest in Fiat Chrysler Automobiles NV on Tuesday, but said it had not held talks or signed a deal with executives at the Italian-American automaker. China's largest sport utility vehicle manufacturer made a direct overture to Fiat Chrysler on Monday, with an official saying the company was interested in all or part of FCA, owner of the Jeep and Ram truck brands. Automotive News first reported the news, quoting Great Wall Motor President Wang Fengying as saying she planned to contact FCA to discuss acquiring the Jeep brand specifically. Those comments sent FCA shares higher but also raised questions over the ability of China's seventh-largest automaker by sales to buy larger Western rival FCA, or even Jeep, which some analysts value at as much as one-and-a-half times FCA. Great Wall sought to dampen speculation on Tuesday. It confirmed it had studied Fiat Chrysler, but said there was "no concrete progress so far" and "substantial uncertainty" over whether it would eventually bid. "The company has not built any relationship with the directors of FCA nor has the company entered into any discussion or signed any agreements with any officer of FCA so far," the company said in an English-language stock exchange filing. It did not give further detail. Fiat Chrysler stock dipped on the statement on Tuesday. Great Wall said trading in its Shanghai-listed shares would resume on Wednesday after having been suspended. Fiat Chrysler declined to comment on Great Wall's statement. On Monday, it said it had not been approached and was fully committed to implementing its current business plan. FLUSHING OUT RIVALS? Great Wall Motor, which was early to spot China's love of SUVs, had revenue of $14.8 billion last year and sold 1.07 million vehicles - but that compares with FCA's 2016 revenue of 111 billion euros ($130.6 billion). Analysts said Great Wall would need to raise both debt and equity to complete any deal, meaning its chairman Wei Jianjun could lose majority control. One possible scenario, according to analysts at Jefferies, would see Wei keeping a roughly 30 percent stake, while Great Wall would raise $10-$14 billion in debt and $10 billion in equity - hefty for a group currently worth just $16 billion. Ultimately, politics could be the clincher.
