Help regarding vintage Dodge pickup!

[hpaul]

Need some help identifying a vintage Dodge pickup acquired at an

abandoned property sale. It has a six cylinder gas engine and was obviously targeted as a restoration project by the previous owner. Serial # is 4912-30181. The rear cab window is in three

sections, with the outer sections curved around the edge of the cab. Not sure how to determine the year and model. Anyone that

can help, please do.



Thanks

I believe you are looking at a 1947-1952 B-series. '47 was the first year for the "pilot cab" with the 3 rear windows and '52 was the last year.

The book I have isn;t the greatest but hopefully this narrows it down for you.

Thanks XJSuperman:

It is possible in those years that the first two numbers in ther serial were the year, in which case this would be a 49.



Looks like a good candidate for restoration, no dents and only minor rust.

Thanks to all for the feedback. Will post a picture when I can. The truck is currently in another state. May be able to get someone to take a picture and send by e-mail.



So much for determining the year. At least I now know the time frame. Thanks Jared for the link. Will check it out.

No, front windshield does not crank out.
