In 1939 the Dodge pickup series were completely redesigned with a focus on safety capability and innovation. Cabs were redesigned with dashboards that don't impale passengers frames were beefed up and some of the first diesel engines and 4WD systems were implemented. The truck was an instant success and served as the backbone for the wartime light truck effort. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this extremely impressive 1947 pickup for your consideration. Finished in a stunning shade of Mar...oon with black fenders this truck turns heads wherever it goes. A ton of work has been put into this mean looking machine and it has a list to back it up. The engine is a Chevy 350cid V8 that is mated to a 700R4 automatic transmission. Power steering power disc brakes and steel braided fuel lines mean this truck is as easy to drive and as reliable as a modern car. Fiberglass rear fenders custom rear tool box and excellent bed wood look great and go side by side with the lowered suspension and larger wheels and tires. VDO gauges floor shifter custom bucket seats vent windshieldworking radio and new headliner round out the interior upgrades. In addition a new Edelbrock carb electric cooling fan upgrade air intake and more mean that this truck is ready to roll. It starts up and runs and drive like a champ and its very hard to find anything wrong. Excellent paint and chrome trim front bumper delete fog lights and lowered suspension combined with a nearly stock looking body mean this truck is like nothing else on the road.
