Why This Vehicle is Special

The B-series pickup trucks were sold from 1948 to 1953. The B-series trucks featured a high-visibility "pilot-house" cab with optional rear quarter windows. The engine was shifted forward and the front axle moved back on the frame for better weight distribution as well as a shorter wheelbase and the cargo bed sides were made higher to increase capacity by 40%.

The redesigned cab could seat three people and the cab was mounted on rubber mounts for an improved ride. We have a much modified 1952 Dodge “Pilot House” Pickup Truck here for sale at Skyway Classics today.
