This 1956 Dodge C-3-B is a ½-ton pickup that is said to have been overhauled in the early 2000s and was acquired by the seller on BaT in April 2021. Work under current ownership reportedly included replacing braking components as well as the radiator, timing chain, front main seal, and headliner. The truck was refinished in green over cream and gray vinyl upholstery under previous ownership, and it is powered by a 230ci inline-six paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Additional equipment includes 15″ steel wheels, a black front bumper, wooden bed flooring, and a single carburetor. This Dodge C-series pickup is now offered with spare parts, a car cover, service records, and a Pennsylvania title in the seller’s name.

The truck was refinished in green under previous ownership. Features include a black front bumper, a cream-finished grille, and a stepside bed with a wood bed floor. The paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.

Black-finished 15″ wheels wear Dodge-stamped hubcaps and are mounted with 6.50-16 Firestone Deluxe Champion whitewall tires. Service under current ownership is said to have included replacing the front brake shoes, wheel cylinders, and wheel seals as well as the rear pinion seal and rear axle seal.

The bench seat is upholstered in two-tone cream and gray vinyl. The headliner is said to have been replaced in preparation for the sale.

A three-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 110-mph speedometer and supplementary gauges. The fuel gauge does not work. The five-digit odometer shows 9k miles. Approximately 600 miles were added under current ownership. True mileage is unknown.

The carbureted 230ci flathead inline-six was rated for 115 horsepower when new. The freeze plug is said to have been replaced in 2021, the radiator and hoses were reportedly replaced in 2022, and the seller states the timing chain, fuel filter and gasket, battery, and front main seal were replaced and an oil change was performed in 2023. The seller states that the oil pan gasket is in need of repair, and a replacement gasket is included in the sale.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission. Corrosion is visible on underbody components.

The current Pennsylvania title carries a Not Actual Mileage odometer brand.
