Model: 1949 B1B-108 Pickup Truck. • The first new truck models since 1939 came in 1948 with the Pilot-House models. The name came from the industry first cab with increased glass for better visibility and a higher, more spacious cab. The truck cab could now seat 3 men (the average man weighed 135 pounds in those days) with 2.5 inches more height, 6 inches more width and 3 inches added in length. 1948-1953 was the B series: a B1-B = 1/2 ton (108 in. WB); B1-C = 3/4 ton (116 in. WB).

The Farm - Family Home of this 1949 Dodge for Years!
This 1949 Dodge B1B-108 truly is "Farm Fresh" . . . here is the actual organic farm, home to this Dodge for the past many, many years. In fact this 1949 Dodge had been there sooooo long that it had become as much a "member" of the family as Angelina, their Australian Shepherd dog.
