interesting snaps Penman, thanks for posting 'em!! Smile

looks like a clean one, the grille bars don't look like any others I've seen, perhaps they differed throughout the years of production?

It looks to be around the same year as mine - 50-53 - you can see that the Dodge badges are missing from the sides of the hood, near the cowl.
It's in good condition, too.

Long live Pilothouse trucks!! Cool

Because of the shortage of materials in the years following WWII, the '51 had a tin plate 'Job Rated' grille centre & the '52 had a cast one, like the truck you found in Hoghton.
