1950 Dodge B-2 Pilothouse Pickup

Description

The vintage truck market is heating up with the mainstream Chevys and Fords, but when was the last time you saw a 1950 Dodge B2 pickup? With a very correct presentation, right down to its 230ci heart, this is the pickup offers a lot of distinction at a very affordable price.

This Job-Rated Dodge will transport you back to the '50s with one glance. The two-tone tan and brown have a great interaction all along the body, including inside the real wood truck bed. It really lets you see the unique features on this pickup like the old-school side opening hood, tall glass "Pilothouse" cab, and the extra tall bed sides. But while the attitude feels period-correct, you are also picking up some hints of metal flake in the brown, just to give this pickup a little weekend flair. And speaking of style, features like the factory ram hood ornament and the addition of aluminum running boards give this workhorse Dodge plenty of presence.

Inside the same color scheme continues with the exterior tan now being joined by brown vinyl on the bench seat and door panels. Just like the outside, this is a quality presentation that respects its roots. So from the moment you grab the large three-spoke steering wheel and look over the metal dash, this feels like true old-school motoring. Even the heater is still working. But for those times when you want to be a bit more modern, all you have to do is open the glove box. Inside is a CB radio and AM/FM/cassette stereo. That way you can still be entertained without ruining the vintage atmosphere.

Underneath the cool butterfly hood is another great marvel, the 230 cubic-inch inline six. This optional motor gave these Dodges extra Job-Rated power. It's presentation today looks just like an honest pickup that's still ready for the workday. Careful ownership over the years means it fires up like a reliable truck should. It has an old style, smooth rhythmic exhaust note that you'll probably love better than any radio station. And you're in complete control of this tempo thanks to Dodges easy shifting Fluid Drive three-speed transmission.

Mopar trucks are always the rarest of the bunch (Dodge only produced about a third as many trucks as Ford did in 1950.) So when you get an opportunity at a uncommon, and fully sorted classic pickup, and the price is this affordable, you know you have to be quick to take it home. Call now!!
