1955 Dodge Truck C-1 series (based on vehicle serial number it is a sub model DU6) with rare "5 window". This truck is an Southern California/Arizona truck with straight body and no body rust withgood paint job. This truck is a "survivor" with original flat head 6 cyl, manual steering, and 4 speed manual transmission (with a granny gear). This truck is an everyday driver and drives very nice at 45mph. Or if one prefers, can beupgraded to "show" status. Clutchand brakes work great. However, there is a little slop in the steering, but not bad for a 61 year old truck!

Interior recently updated in black (see pics).

New tires, new wiper blades, new battery (12 volt), oil change, and radiator flush/fill (28 Dec 2016).

Sale also includes the Dodge Ram hood emblem and side Dodge lettering (see pic #8). All you have to do is install them. Plus, Dodge Trucks Shop Manuals (1954, 1955, 9156) Series C-1 & C-3.

All glass/windows are in great condition. No cracks, etc. All window/door cranks work. Head lights, turn signals and brake lights work, however, the interiordome light doesn't work. All gauges work, except gas and engine temperature.

A few minor issues:

1. Interior dome light doesn't work.

2. gas gauge and engine temperature gauges do not work.

3. No spare tire or jack.

4. no weather stripping around doors.

5. side windowsmolding have a gapand needs to be sealed (see last 2 pics).

6. No glove "box" behind glove box door.

7. Bed is plywood, but functional as it is completely covered by a full size rubber mat (included in sale). Or, you could restore with new wood planking.

This is a great "survivor"/daily drivertruck for under $9000!

I have tried to include everything I know about the truck, but please ask all questions before bidding and I will do my best to answer your questions, recognizing I am not a car guy..
