1945 & 1948 Dodge Trucks $9,900 [WI]
Rare civilian issued WWII 1945 Dodge with a Power Wagon style cab
This truck runs and drives excellent, and is a rolling piece of American "Home front" WWII history. This is the type of truck that kept the home front war economy humming while it's brother Dodges were winning the war abroad.
I have owned this Dodge for the past 15 years, and over that period have updated the following:
* Rebuilt the 230 six engine, including grinding the valves, planing the head, and replacing the head gasket with NOS gasket, and other NOS engine parts.
* Replaced radiator, starter, air cleaner, plugs, and all necessary hoses.
* Replaced rear tires with new tires, and fronts with like new tires, all six mounted on 20" Budd rims.
* Newer wooden rear flat bed deck with removable sides, built on extended frame.
The gauges need to be refreshed. The cab and body are in good condition, this truck has been in my barn, and has not seen a Wisconsin winter in fifteen years.
A 1-ton Dodge dump truck is included with the purchase. The truck is too nice to scrap, good for restoration or parts.
