1952 Dodge Pickup B-3-B-103 Mopar Restomod With Original Patina

1952 Dodge Other Pickups

This is Ollie, a 1952 Dodge B3 pickup restomod with original patina, no fake sprayed on crap! The patina you only get from 70+ years of weathering.

This 1952 Dodge came with a 6cyl, and Fluid drive transmission, heater, and AM radio. Original 6cyl was locked up and given to a friend along with the transmission. We decided to save this old boy from Thief River Falls Minn back in 2016 with the intention of replacing the drive train with updated all Mopar parts from the 1970's. We planned on giving him a nice fancy paint job until we found out her history. He was originally a deep purple blue and was bought by Pennington County in Minn as a maintenance truck. They painted her yellow, and then when it was sold it was painted blue again. You can see his original paint on the firewall, and throughout the interior. Ollie served faithfully until 1964 when he was repainted blue and sold to a private owner. The next owner parked it in 1971 and he had 92k on the odometer and he stuck her in a old barn and it sat until we saved her and brought her to WV for her transformation.

We decided to clean the crud off the paint, fix all rust, mainly the floor pan, and lower drivers door outside sheetmetal, and keep the patina she had earned over the years. 97% of the body was rust free and is solid. We updated him with an all Mopar drive train, a high performance 360 engine; performance rebuilt 727 transmission, and a 9.25 sure grip rear end with 4.11 gears, and disc brakes up front. We decided to rebuild the front suspension instead of subbing in a front suspension from another vehicle like so many of these trucks have had done. We wanted to preserve some of the old truck feel.

Extra parts included are shown in the bed of the truck. The vent windows were left out intentionally for more arm room. The side windows were not installed, however the window regulators are in the doors. The original glass was damaged and we never got around to replacing them as the truck is stored inside. Also the wipers were misplaced and it will need wipers installed if you so desire. We planned to put aftermarket electric wiper motor and assembly, however we never got around to it. These are small items that can easily be finished. Other than those two items I can't think of anything else that needs attention.

I will list work done below. We have a full binder with all parts installed and receipts that will be included. All work except the machine work on the engine block was performed in our shop. We have mainly used this truck for car meets, runs to the local hot dog stands, and many parades every year since 2018.That's what we made it for. The doors are stenciled in honor of our grandfather that was a gear head back in the day and started racing in the late 40's, of course this can be removed and you can make it your own. We are selling Ollie to fund other projects in the shop, not interested in trades. If you have any questions feel free to message us.

This is one fun hot rod truck and steals the show anywhere you take him! Ollie is happy running down the straight stretch at full bore or idling along in your local Veterans Day parade. You won't be disapointed in Ollie!
