"The current owner inherited the truck from his father, who was a truck enthusiast.

Description

This Dodge is actually a WC/WD model fitted with a flathead 6-cylinder 3.6 engine connected to a 3-speed manual gearbox. Its history can be traced back to 1978 when it was re-registered, indicating it was originally a domestically sold truck. Based on the red color under the bonnet, it was likely a fire truck in the 1940s or 1950s. The truck underwent a complete renovation in 1988 by the current owner's son. After the father's passing, the wife inherited the truck in 2014, and in 2018, the son took over the Dodge. It has been used to attend local classic car events and meetings and is always kept in good running condition.

The truck is presentable with a good solid underbody and a tidy wooden flatbed. The bodywork has held up well, though both lower edges of the doors have blisters and a slightly different green color shade. Inside the cab, there is space for 3 people with a nice bench seat and a clean dashboard featuring original old gauges. The wooden panel in the corner of the passenger side under the windscreen has started to rot (see pictures), and there are small rips in the headliner. The total weight of the truck is 2600 kg.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The truck runs and drives fine with no issues to report. Like all vintage trucks, the engine needs to be warmed up properly before driving. It has good wheels with older, usable tires.

  • Interior condition:

    interior of the cab is presentable and clean, featuring a red-painted dashboard with working old gauges and a nice bench seat. The wooden frames around the door and door cards are in good overall condition. However, the wooden frame under the windscreen on the passenger side has started to rot "see pictures"

  • Exterior condition:

    The truck is very presentable with straight bodywork, a solid flatbed, and a tidy underbody. The only small rust issues are on the lower edges of both doors, which have started to blister. The paintwork is clean and tidy with minor marks and scratches, and both doors have a slightly different green color. The rubber side blinker arms are cracked and worn.

  • General condition:

    This truck is perfect for use at local events or as an addition to your collection. Mechanically very sound, the cosmetic issues can be fixed over time and are relatively simple to repair.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
