1953 Dodge Pickup

Gateway Classic cars in very excited to offer this 1953 Dodge Model B-4B-108 Pickup Truck. This little Red Truck will surely grab your eye - as you are brought back to the old days on the farm - what a fine example! You can tell a labor of Love, when you get the grandkids involved in the restoration project of this magnitude. This 53 Dodge was completely dismantled and restored by the owner starting in 2011- who took the time to document and note before and after photos on all repairs. Due to the fact that there aren't many of these around - we needed to do some research on just what we have here to pass on regarding this truck. Research found, the Dodge B-series trucks featured what was called a high-visibility "pilot-house" cab. When you stand at a distance, you can see why that title was applied. This fine example comes with the optional rear quarter windows. Dodge engineers had the engines shifted forward, and the front axle moved back on the frame for better weight distribution as well as a shorter wheelbase, moving from 116 in to 108 in. The cargo bed sides were made higher to increase capacity by 40%, but she surely has that short bed everyone desires, and this one is nice and detailed with stained wood, and matching side boards. The redesigned cab could seat three people, with 2.5" more height, 6" more width and 3" additional in length, and now was mounted on rubber mounts for an improved ride - what innovation for it's time! This truck has a Max GVW of 4900 lbs, with a Flat Head 6-Cylinder 217.76 cid, rated at 97 gross hp @ 3,600-rpm. this is an “L" type head, 3-1/4-bore x 4-3/8-stroke, mated to a 3-speed column shift manual transmission.

This 1953 Dodge would surely be a nice addition to the next family, or for a collection that may be missing a nice example to add to the collection. This is a good running, mechanically sound little Red Truck, that will add smiles to those who get to view her, whether in parades, or just driving around town!
