There’s nothing quite like cruising down the road in a late 1940s Dodge pickup, especially when it’s in good running order. This one definitely falls into that category. The 218 cubic inch inline 6 combined with its 3 speed manual transmission combine to produce a unique feel in a truck that’s fun to drive. It gets a lot of thumbs ups! I’m guessing it’s due to its rarity, good looks, heavy duty tires and hard to miss two tone dark green and black paint. Another good thing about this particular truck is that the bed isn’t so nice that you’d be afraid use it for what it was made for...to move things.
It’s in good overall condition and would hold its own at a local truck show. It’s not perfect....but it's a truck, does it need to be? It’s no fun to worry about driving through puddles or the threat of rock chips. Please see the Condition Report section below for more details.
A little bit about me: I was born with what I call the car bug (ingrained love for cool vehicles), have owned and sold hundreds of collectible cars, founded/ran a large classic/exotic car dealership/restoration facility for years and found/finished (with the help of my team) and sold the only Tucker Convertible on the planet. I’m selling this car for a friend of mine.
