Alan's 1955/56 C3 1/2 ton Dodge Truck for Sale
SOLD
(updated 11/1/2020)
I purchased this truck January 18, 2018 knowing that there was work to be done before it would be my fun around town driver.
It was never going to be a show truck.
I have a clear title on the truck
1955/56 Dodge Truck C3-B6-108 1/2 ton
Flat Head 6 cyl. 230ci (runs good)
I started working the truck as soon as I purchased it and spent 4 months tinkering, then had to stop due to health problems.
It sat in my garage for 1.5 years, until I recently decided to sell.
I started the truck in January with only 1 squirt of ether and it has started up each time since.
It can be driven around the neighborhood only due to lapsed tags.

Needed repairs -
Brake drums are out of round, I had planned to replace wheel hubs with disk brakes
Windshield wiper motor (I haven't looked to see what that will take)
Door window glass and seals. Seals available on internet, glass can be obtained from local glass companies.
Rear window seal.
Front window seal. This might be hard to replace since the glass is curved
Water pump pulley. The pulley wobbles and makes the belt squeal.
