1950 dodge b series truck, job rated trucks 

Yeah buddy you’re the first one to get it Be sure to tune in tomorrow for our episode on 1939 Plymouth P8 convertible four-door convertible coming tomorrow at 4:30 Eastern standard time on what it’s like

Unfortunately I think those days are long gone it sucks they don’t make things nearly as nice as they used to

Thank you so much for sharing that information Naugahyde seats felt nice definitely better than some vinyl seats

Yup. We had a nice vomit Beige living room of that stuff

Naugahyde...was trying to think of that word!! I think it was used on the lower-priced Barcaloungers

Glad you dig this episode =)

Thank you so much for sharing those memories as well as all that information. Greatly appreciate it happy you dig this episode. I have never driven a Dodge truck from this era. I heard that they can be hard to steer but as far as the cabin goes I don’t think there’s anything that beats it because it’s an optical illusion. It doesn’t look like a huge truck on the outside but on the inside, it’s absolutely massive And it doesn’t have a claustrophobic like some of the older trucks have but they have that claustrophobic. You have to go back to the 30s or even 40s they’re just cozy I guess would be a better word to describe it the Dodge isn’t that

Thank you for watching this episode glad you dig it =)

I knew I was missing one darn it.. next time I’ll make sure to include studebaker

Yeah I love this era of studebaker man what a missed opportunity on my part

Hudson had a truck line too don't forget them

I believe that DeSoto also had a truck model too. Am I wrong?

=) glad you dig

Thank you it means a lot =)

This one was pretty cool =)

Great story thank you so much for sharing those awesome memories it would be really hard to work on this truck being the engine sits so far down and it sits so high up. I had a bit of a laugh because when I was working on my Chevy truck which the engine doesn’t fit nearly as far down in it but that’s the thing like you could sit on the fender of those old cars and not worry about putting a dent in it because they could take it the new cars won’t.

Thank you so much for sharing that story what an awesome memory =)

That’s awesome, love bring back those memories =)

I pressed the wrong button 1- Talbot Lago 2- Bugatti 3- Alfa Romeo They really knew how to make cars and trucks and motorbikes back in the day Thanks for your efforts and take care

Great choices those are all cars I’d like to feature one day Glad you dig this episode =) need to do more trucks that’s for sure

There's a truck version of the Rambler Ranch??

There is a Rambler tow truck a couple towns over I really want to review

=) sweet I’ll look for one never seen one of those in the flesh

That’s awesome thank you so much for your service I really appreciate what you did. Thank you so much for playing would you rather thank you so much for sharing what you would rather have I need to find a 1950 diamond t to feature it as well as all of the other ones =)

@@What.its.like. You are sincerely welcome. When I enlisted, maybe 70 % of the folks I knew had served. Now, it's like 5 %. A lot has changed in 50 years. But one thing that hasn't gone out are these beautiful American creations you show. You are the to be thanked here. This channel is a total groove! (yes, you may use that)

Alfisti here. I've owned six of them. What year and model did you have?

@@wallacem41atgmail I believe it was a 57 Model 923 w/a small sleeper cab. The air system was new to me as I was used to hydraulic brakes etc. It was quite a 'liberation' after the first truck, an H Model Mack which also had a brownie (5/3). Top speed on the Diamond T was around 63 MPH, which erased the frustration from the Mack only doing about 50. Power steering too. Bostrom seat & manual shutters etc. Just the feeling of having that Cummins under the hood is something I can't describe! Truckers now have automatics & 500 HP. With cup holders!

Glad you dig this one, really need to do more trucks for this channel that’s for sure..

Thank you so much it means the world to me this is one of the most confusing vehicles I ever tried to review, Mopars are generally like that I don’t understand why they had to be so complicated lol

I had an opportunity to drive one of these trucks years ago….not sure what ton it was, but it defeated me. Mind you, I was a pretty good standard transmission operator, having had a 60s VW, but this truck would not go for me. Had a similar experience with a friend’s 60s Ford Falcon. My masculine pride was crushed.

I have never drove one, but grandpa would tell stories about what a pain they are to drive, 53 ford truck is the hardest thing I’ve driven double clutch accelerating isn’t so bad but rev matching and would only go into gear, at the when planets 🪐 are perfectly aligned.. down shifting almost impossible

I have a 52 Chevy and love it mine has a 350 v8 150 hp and honestly it’s not the fastest thing in the world it’s made it to a 420 SM synchromesh four-speed transmission I honestly love this set up I honestly think that’s what should’ve came factory but Chevy didn’t make V-8 than it’s the perfect set up can go 80 without breaking a sweat. The only thing that I want to change is if I ever have the opportunity to switch out the rear end I want to put a two speed rear and keep the 373s that it has and put a 290 in it I’m getting about 16 miles to the gallon on the highway but I figured if I put a 290 in I might be able to get 20

@@What.its.like. Yeah, well my old '53, because it was 3/4 T, it was the VERY LAST year of the 216 cu in. straight 6, but it had that 4 speed with that GRANNY gear 1st, I couldn't even get STUCK in Mexico's sand, that gear would just idle out of it. I later found, had a 235 rebuilt and put in it's place of the 216.

Sweet yeah I was never big into these trucks either but they are huge inside Bugatti would be super cool

Me Too!

Haha sweet =)

I’m hoping to do some sort of truck comparison video this year hopefully in the summertime I wanna do multiple comparison episodes I have a 52 Chevy 1 ton truck I would love to compare it to a Ford ones on track a Dodge 1 ton truck in international and who knows maybe one day we could do them all

Welcome to the channel great community here =)

Sweet =)

Totally agree those cabs are huge inside it’s crazy

Thank you glad you dig this episode =) the last would you rather would be really hard for me, I’d probably go for the Alfa 6c

You bet the goal is to cover all the cars and trucks that never got reviewed

Thank you so much it really means the world to me that you dig what I’m putting down lol 😂

@@What.its.like. Yep. Anytime!

I know I was missing one hahaha love the prize

What was your experience with the truck was it hard to drive?

I have done a few I’m actually done all of the vehicles that I owned except for a 2006 Honda Odyssey van I will find the links and post them I’m thinking about doing a comparison video between a 2001 Honda odyssey in a 2006 I honestly believe the 2001 is better because the traction control system in the 2006 sucks it’s supposed to snow again so I’ve been waiting to see if we get snow then that way I can actually show how bad the traction control system is ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-JZhof93VElo.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-vvPJIfa_NSU.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-EnhUigJTnow.html ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-kPdhBuDQCg8.html

Sweet =)

Thank you for that =) Any cool stories did your grandpa let you drive

Awesome choice =)

Sweet choices =)

Yep =) Bob Seger is another band that reminds me of my dad

Totally agree

Thank you for that correction.

Glad somebody noted this - the front grill on this one is 51-53 as well. The grill of the 48-50 can be seen in the ad shown at 1:26 in the video. Still a beautiful truck!

I’ve been looking for a coe from any brand

@@What.its.like. Nice.

Yeah buddy congratulations you got it but somebody beat you to the punch literally buy a minute

Thank you so much for playing and sharing those choices =)

Awesome choice =) this cab is bigger in the dodge I own a 52 Chevy 1 ton with that said I think that Chevy is the easiest one to drive out of the three I’ve driven a Ford I’ve heard stories about how bad the Dodge could be the turn.

Totally agree =)

obrigado pela atençao@@What.its.like.

Great choices =) the last Scenario would be a really hard one for me but I think I’d pick the Alfa as well

He might hit a red Saab, tho!

Hahaha

Yeah studebaker would be a great write in

I didn’t have a tape measure on me I should’ve but the half total only came with 6 1/2 foot bed in this bed was bigger than that I think the three-quarter ton came with a 7 foot bed to get the 9 foot bed you had to get the 1 ton truck. Of course with it being as long ago as it was people can modify anything with that said this had job rated on the front of it which most of the bigger trucks said that. I would really love to do some exotic cars like the Talbot largo and Alfa 6c One thing that I really really want to do but it’s not going to happen for a while is go to Pebble Beach and wild there I would love to go to pur sang headquarters and do some of their cars

I’ll look for one and the van too

Totally agree

Wonder how easy a replacement pane would be to find. Imagine they can be researched & cut pretty easy by computerized gear these days.

Sweet =)

Yes, Fluid Drive Coupling. Way ahead of their time!

That was based off of what grandpa told me years back in stories he was a milk driver mostly drove divco but sometimes he had to drive others 51 dodge he said was the hardest thing he ever drove.

Thank you so much for that information =)

Sweet what do you think of it

@@What.its.like. 70 years old and still running needs a few things headed up for sale but my 2017 ram insurance went to 1105 for six months 1954 cost $45 for six months so I’m thinking about putting it back on the road

Sweet =)

Yeah buddy =) love bob seger it’s amazing where music can take you.

Sweet =)

Sweet choice

It could go either way..
