This Dodge B-Series (1948-1953) got away, but there are more like it here.

1952 Dodge B-3-B Pickup

Sold for $22,250 on 9/9/22

This 1952 Dodge B-3-B is a “pilothouse” pickup finished in red over a tan interior and was the subject of a mechanical and cosmetic refurbishment completed during previous ownership. Acquired by the selling dealer in 2020, the truck is powered by a 218ci inline-six linked to a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, and features include a wood-lined bed, stake bed panels, a cab heater, and 16″ steel wheels. Work under prior ownership included a repaint, an interior refresh, an engine rebuild, replacement of the clutch and throw-out bearing, and an overhaul of the brakes, while the selling dealer replaced the carburetor in preparation for the sale. This Dodge pickup is now offered with a clean Indiana title.

The body was refinished in red in 2010 according to the selling dealer, and is accented with a side mirror, painted bumpers and running boards, and a flip-down tailgate.

This example is a ‘Pilothouse’ pickup with a Stepside bed that is lined with stained-wood slats, painted cargo runners, and a set of wood stake bed side panels.

Painted 16″ steel wheels wear Dodge-branded hubcaps and are mounted with wide whitewall tires. The truck rides on leaf springs at all four corners, and braking is handled by four-wheel drums.

The red-painted interior features tan upholstery for the bench seat, headliner, and door panels. An aftermarket oil-pressure gauge is mounted under the dash, and an Arvin heater is housed over the right footwell.

Instrumentation includes an 80-mph speedometer and gauges for temperature, oil pressure, fuel level, and amperes. The five-digit odometer shows 84k miles, roughly 200 of which have been added by the selling dealer. Total chassis mileage is unknown.

The rebuilt 218ci inline-six is equipped with a replacement downdraft carburetor topped with an oil-bath air cleaner. Drive is sent to the rear via a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission.

Additional photos are provided in the gallery to detail the suspension, drivetrain, bed, and frame.

The identification tag on the truck lists serial number 82263458, while the title lists the VIN sequence as SER82263458. A photo of the current Indiana title is provided in the gallery below.
