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.

2015 Dodge Challenger gets 6.4L 485-HP V8 Scat Pack

Thu, 17 Apr 2014

While it's not seeing the drastic facelift of its brother, the Charger, at the 2014 New York Auto Show, the 2015 Challenger is packing some upgrades of its own. It wears even more retro-inspired styling cues, and there are new 6.4-liter Scat Pack and Shaker trims.
If you thought the Challenger looked retro before, Dodge is taking things even farther with inspiration for the refresh coming from the iconic 1971 model. Up front, it has a new split grille, a larger power bulge in the hood and projector fog lights. At the rear, the classic inspiration continues with split LED taillights with Gloss Black trim, and a rear valance panel redesigned to make the 2015 model look wider and lower.
The '71 motif is carried inside as well with a high-sill center console and aluminum gauge bezels. There's still more than a touch of modernity, with an available 8.4-inch Uconnect infotainment system and 7-inch customizable display between the retro-inspired speedometer and tachometer. For better safety, the Challenger is also now available with forward collision warning, adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross path detection. Stability control and electric power steering are standard across all models too.
