This rare example truck was frame off restored in 2003. Found on a farm in Walton NY, where it was used for farm duties since the late 50s. Advertised "For Sale" in a local paper for $700.00 on July 14th, 2001, a local retired bank executive purchased it and decided this would be his project to restore it back to its original state. Completely photo documented in 2 albums from start to finish. After he and some helpers pushed it onto the trailer, the process began. Originally Medium Blue, the paint was in poor condition, however the body was overall solid with one small hole in the floor by the gas pedal . Over the next 2 years, the truck was dismantled and a complete frame off restoration took place. Every piece was refurbished or replaced. The orig. engine, a 241 V8 Power Dome over head valve engine was the first year V8 and wasn't common to see in a pickup. 1/2 ton models were called "B" series, the first letter designated on the Dodge truck line up. The engine has all the factory components, heads, intake, carb, dist., radiator, exhaust manifold were also refurbished. The 3 spd. trans. was also inspected during the process, new U-joints, new brake system, brake lines, hoses, brake linings, wheel cylinders, e-brake cables, rebuilt new master cylinder, springs, front end components etc. the frame was complete sand blasted and refinished in Satin blk. The body was completely stripped to the bare metal and refinished in single stage enamel. Most of these trucks had a 3 piece back window, yet, this model was quite rare having a one piece back window. Complete new window rubbers, new weather strip kit, factory heater was also refinished and is in working condition. The original wood bed was in need of replacing Red oak was milled off Walton Mt. and all new stainless hardware was used to secure the stainless slats to the bed. Several coats of polyurethane was applied to seal the oak bed. Red oxide primer was used on the cab, doors and fenders and floor before the truck got painted. The original gas tank was removed from behind the seat and reconditioned. Every nut, bolt and screw was replaced or refurbished. The finished product is a 1955 Dodge, Canyon Coral/Antique White, two tone paint. Black painted steel orig. style bumpers, orig. blk. steel running boards, color keyed antique white center grille, restored chrome, Dodge V8 center hood emblem, dual opening hood, cowl vent, single side view mirror, orig. steel style wheels with orig. center caps, side mounted tire.

In the interest of disclosure I have included photos of the the "repaired" original running boards and the bottom of the tailgate that did not get the same attention to detail as the rest of the loving restoration. this truck draws more cameras, thumbs up and overall attention then most high dollar muscle cars.

Texas cops pull armed suspect from burning car
Fri, Jul 29 2016A high-speed chase through Fort Worth, Texas ended in dramatic fashion earlier this month when FWPD pulled armed burglary suspects from the burning wreckage of their escape vehicle. According to NBC DFW, Fort Worth police were dispatched to Avington Way on the evening of July 16 to investigate reports of a burglary. The burglary victim told police he had arrived home to find three individuals hauling his property out of his house. When he approached them, one of the suspects pointed a handgun at him and told him to stay back. Then all three suspects climbed into a silver Dodge Avenger and sped away. FWPD officers spotted the Avenger a short time later on Sycamore School Road and, after the car refused to pull over, the chase was on. Police chased the burglary suspects through the city at speeds approaching 100 mph until the Avenger blew a red light and was t-boned by an oncoming pickup at the intersection of California Parkway and James Avenue. As the pursuing officers closed in on the disabled car, it suddenly caught fire. One suspect bailed out and ran for it, but the remaining two were trapped inside with the flames quickly mounting. Despite the spreading fire and the threat of armed suspects in the vehicle, police officers rushed to pull the men from the wreck. The driver was removed easily, but the passenger was unconscious and trapped behind a crushed passenger door. The scene was caught on the officers' body cameras as they pried the door open with their bare hands. Eventually the officers got the semi-conscious man out of the passenger seat just as the car was completely engulfed in flames. "It was pretty dramatic. We recruit people that can think on the fly, think quickly, and perform under pressure," FWPD Sergeant Marc Povero told WFAA. All three suspects are facing charges for burglary, and the driver was charged with evading arrest.
