i did a search and found this site on 1947 - 1953 dodge pickups its cool http://www.dodgepilothouseclub.org

Thats cool, I have alot of memorys in those trucks. There were alot of them in my family when I was young. I learned how to drive in one, 3 on the tree with a flathead 6. Very cool p/u's.

hmmm. Sounds like a title they'd give to one of them barges that Viking runs up and down the 'sipi River!!!!!!

If you've ever been on a large boat ,sail or power, you'd know why they are named that....lots of visibility....also a marketing tool by Dodge. The Big 3 were getting back into production on their vehicle lines...thus you had the Fleetmaster and others. They were marketing to all the WWII vets....

Have you ever noticed that of the late 40's/ early 50's cars there were not a lot of green colors offered?....

mine is a green 3/4 ton long box with a 4spd? its complete but i plan to rod it out plus the L6 is froze up tight.
