1953 Dodge MB2 crash truck made for the Marine Corps.
MB2 crash truck
Serial #80044520.
Correct, original 6-cylinder T-245 flathead engine
4-speed transmission with extremely rare Tangen power take-off located on top of the transmission.
Shows only 23,646 miles on the odometer.
Approx 128" original wheelbase, longer than the standard M37.
I am told this was running when parked - have not verified that yet, as I just got this in a trade.
According to one source, only 130 of these were made, but it also says in 1955, and this is a 1953 . . . will keep researching, and refining this information as I go.
Tires are all rotten.
Back of truck is completely open with none of the original tanks, pump, or any other fire equipment.
Looks like a set of ladder brackets on the RH side.
There is some body damage on the right rear.
This was very nicely built, with some use of aluminum.
No title, CA Bill of Sale only.
Located in Geyserville, CA. I can ship anywhere, or load for you.
