• 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).
