One of the rarest vehicles of the 1950s, less than 2000 of these stylish trucks were built from 1957-59, Less than 200 built in 1957.

Of all of Dodge's stylish trucking triumphs, this one stands out, put together outside of Virgil Exner's design studios, conceived of and assembled by Dodge's Special Equipment Group. The Special Equipment Group was sort of an in-house customizing shop established to modify production trucks in order to meet the needs of individual or fleet customers.

Joe Berr, the manager of Dodge's Special Equipment Group, first acquired a set of new quarter panels for a 1957 Dodge two-door station wagon. Then, the rear fenders were yanked off the cargo box of a new 1957 Dodge long-wheelbase two-wheel-drive half-ton pickup. Quarter panels from the Dodge car were adapted to fit the sides of the truck box. The bumper from the station wagon was also used.

The Sweptside concept was a hit with Dodge dealers and the trucks were custom built, never on the production line. Only a couple thousand of these special factory customs were assembled in 1957 through the 1958 model year, and they were discontinued in 1959.

This 1957 Dodge Sweptside D100 Pickup was first purchase in 1957 by a man in Galt who drove it for some 45 plus years. It was then acquired by the attorney who handled the estate settlement and mostly stored and driven seldom for 10 plus more years until acquired by its 3rd and final owner until today. At some point the engine was rebuilt and additional required mechanical repairs. Engine has 70 lbs of oil pressure and runs great. Since the purchase by its 3rd owner it has the all steel body reworked and completely Painted Turquoise/White inside and out. Other work performed includes Brakes, Tune Up and Carburetor Rebuilt.

Please look at the photos they tell the story best. They show a good start on the restoration. They also show work still needed. It is what it is. An extremely rare vehicle that needs someone to take it to completion. Current owner is months away from 80 and is not able to finish.
