This Dodge Pickup got away, but there are more like it here.
This 1955 Dodge C3B was acquired in 2008 by the seller, who subsequently commissioned a repaint in blue and interior reupholstery as well as installation of front disc brakes, 15″ chrome wheels, and an electric fuel pump. Power is from a 259ci V8 mated to a PowerFlite two-speed automatic transmission, and additional features include running boards, a wood-plank bed floor, stake sides, and aftermarket audio components. This C-series is offered at no reserve with spare parts and a clean California title in the seller’s name.
The truck was repainted in metallic blue with a silver cab roof as well as matching stripes down the center section separating the dual side-hinged hood panels. The seller notes chips on the roof and a scrape on the driver’s door. Chrome bumpers are fitted at either end. A 12-volt quick charger is reportedly mounted under one of the running boards.
The bed floor is comprised of varnished wood planks separated by body-colored runners, and wood stake sides have been fitted. Chrome 15″ wheels wear moon hubcaps and radial tires. A bias-ply whitewall is housed under the bed as a spare. Braking is handled by aftermarket discs up front and drums at the rear.
The interior was reupholstered in white vinyl and blue cloth, and features white-painted steel surfaces, black carpets, a CD player, aftermarket door speakers, and a PowerFlite dash badge.
Instrumentation includes a 110-mph speedometer, an inaccurate fuel gauge, and a five-digit odometer showing 7k miles. Approximately 12k miles have been added by the seller since 2008, and total mileage is unknown.
The 259ci V8 is fed by a Facet auxiliary electric fuel pump and retains a generator to supply the 12-volt electrical system. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a PowerFlite two-speed automatic transmission, from which the seller notes a leak when the truck is parked.
Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery below. Rust is described in the bottom of the battery case. The truck is titled under a California assigned identification number.
Spare parts include a power steering setup, a TH400 transmission conversion kit, a rebuilt starter, and removed front drum brake components.
