It is so great to see somebody take the time to fully restore an old classic like this and not Mexicanize the frame by dropping it on the floor and destroying the interior with junk the truck never had when new. It's just a good, solid, beautiful restoration!
The Dodge salesman came directly to your business, farm, or home to spec out the JOB RATED DODGE just for you & your needs! Customer service at its finest.
Imagine, in 1953 this was just another pickup truck. Today it's a work of art that you'd never leave out in the rain. You can be sure that no one will feel this way about a 2021 Dodge pickup in 68 years from now.
I had one in high school (1971-'75) and loved that old truck. So did the hippie chicks for some unknown reason. It was black and had the same 6 banger and 3 on the tree. Low geared as shown here. Got me where I wanted to go for years.
Great, great music. Timely, cool jazzyeven a hidden hip hop beat. Winner! Oh yeah I be got a 53 truck, job rated. Just taking a break from shining her up. Pretty tough momma.
The coolest old Dodge we had was a 57.. 318 dual stacks behind the cab Loud and at night you could see flames sometimes it was cool... That was very unique because it had one ton's suspension so D 300 Like utility company special ordered But long wide bed LOL my brother and brother-in-law hauled 2 to 4 tons Of cement and gravel
A lot more bling than my old five-window 53. I also had the lower bed and made my own crank for the dampener nut starter. This one looks terrific. And the principles incorporated into the inline flathead are the same as those in my current 1949 KB2!
My first track was 1955 job rated my other Dodge pick up was 53 's a 354 Hemi... Both were fivewindow cab.. Well I found my old truck and the old lady would not move all the c*** and sell it to me it's been sitting in the point same a barn for 20 years I had it when I was 16 Period a little banged up compared to perfect body when I sold it But somehow I gotta get a hold of that truck I know exactly where it is and the guy was my friend Years ago🙏🙏
There was a book called Truck that came out in the 80s in which the author went through what he did to get a 1950 Dodge pickup running again. I really enjoyed the book.
Great Job. And as you said, memories. My Grandpa had one (dark blue) but it was new then. He built a camper for the back. In '64 he gave it up for a Polara.
I have one if these I am working on right now, this one is the closes one I have found to mine down to the 7 steel slates in a short bed, I was just talking to the parts guy in Mich. and he'd never heard of a 78 in bed with 7. I told him well I got one. and then I just found this, I hope Mine looks this good when I'm done, The only difference I can see in the inside sidewall panels on mine are smooth, I've had this one for 39 years I bought it for $600.00 I couldn't believe it at the time, yes I was the first one to it. when I saw it I said does it run ? He say yeah we use it for the dump every week.
I am also restoring a 1953 B-4-C pickup truck, I found a 1950 B-1-C in Northern Minnesota it was in pretty rough shape but I'm using it for parts. Some of the parts are usable for the 53 and they are interchangeable but I have extra parts that I will be selling if anybody needs anything. I'm glad that you're restoring it to its original and not too many modifications good luck with your project, thanks for the video.
Why call it a D-100? That designation didn’t come around for several more years after this truck was built. This is a B-4-B. Great looking truck. Great work!
Dodge brothers built some tough, dependable vehicles. Now they're "Chrysler POS's" Bad electronics, cheap material, and they want $60k per unit !! Nope.............💥
I have a 1953 dodge pick up. I am starting to febuild it. I have a 1953 desota 276 hemi a 87 3 speed automatic and haves 87 wagoner rear end. I pulled all the original power train out. Now I’m reluctant to install the hew power train. I am still ready to put all tha original power train back in, but I know it won’t be good to drive at the original power train.I am confused.
Is it difficult to find parts for these trucks? If anyone knows please respond. Also, did the Dodge 350 have the same engine or was it an upgraded version?
great restore but 1 error the rear fenders and possibly the bed looks like it was from a newer dodge when the next model i believe 54 or 55 had those fenders the previous models have a rounded ones . i did see that was on the truck when dragged in .

What a beautiful old truck. I had a 1956 and wish every day of my life that l had kept it. Thanks for posting and sharing!
My father found a 55, yes in a barn in 1972. It was beige. I will never forget it.
A dog in the back is about all those old half ton trucks would haul . But theyre still cool. ( 65 Dodge D-100 step side owner here)

Man that’s a pretty truck. The word I didn’t hear which is a word I hate. PATINA!
Fifty more years from now that flathead six and transmission will STILL be running perfectly.

I think that was a reprint because I read it in 1960. I remember it included road racing and blowng into the carburetor, getting gas in the face...
Great Job. And as you said, memories. My Grandpa had one (dark blue) but it was new then. He built a camper for the back. In '64 he gave it up for a Polara.
This truck is a beauty! A really fine resurrection/restoration!
So very cool to look at, this historic piece of automotive history!
She is a beauty.
God bless you man!! Keep on finding and restoring thanks

That truck needs to be in my driveway now!
Stunner of a truck ! Love the old Dodges & Studebakers. Thhis truck is just amazing !
Good old days American car.I ove vintage cars.
Awesome!! I even heard Timmy calling Lassie !!!
Yup no kidding I’m finding I’m getting like my late dad and brother I turn off the vehicles stereo so I can listen to the vehicle
Great video. So cool to see local Arizonans rebuild pure history and bring it back. Beautiful truck.
Back when they didn't dream of driving a truck around the city....
Sharp, well edited video. A bit heavy on the Dodge promotion including the drive past the dealership but not obnoxiously so.

Do you have a butterfly hood for sale?
Do you have any photos or videos that you can share for the B4C?
Felicidades bella Vintage en hora buena por tremendo proyecto hecho realidad desde México
Grandfather had that model, dark blue 4 speed, floor mounted with granny gear
You guys did a beautiful job. The truck sure looked a little rough when you got it.
Why call it a D-100? That designation didn’t come around for several more years after this truck was built. This is a B-4-B.
Great looking truck. Great work!
It is a BEE YOU TEE!!!!!
Outstanding job . .
Awesome classic iron

The music is just to upbeat. Love the truck though.

Why on earth would a person let a motor that hadn’t ran in years run that many RPMs the second it starts! 😤🙀
Manufactures use to build work trucks and not boat pullers.
might be purchasing one soon
great restore but 1 error the rear fenders and possibly the bed looks like it was from a newer dodge when the next model i believe 54 or 55 had those fenders the previous models have a rounded ones . i did see that was on the truck when dragged in .
they made them with both type fenders in 53 I have a 53 with these exact same fenders though I've noticed that some 53's have the rounded fenders.
I think those started in 53, and probably they used both styles that year. I know a guy who had an all original 53 with those fenders.
The dash doesn't have the "Dodge " nameplate in the center.
It has the 1951-52 B-3 wide stainless badge ornament.
I have one, mine has corner windows tho
The year I was born
how much would a restore like this set me back?
nice bed
You would think they could have sprung for a new exhaust and muffler.
Damn music!
Lo venden y ahun esta disponible ☺️?
The hood ornament is off a dodge coronet….
good to know I was wondering.
not a D 100 more like a B 1
Would have been nice to see more of pickup, instead of guy jabbering the whole video.
It's like, go nowhere, this truck is soooo slow.
Back in 53, cars still didn’t drive 75 on every road. Most road were so wonky 45 was like light speed.
The Chrome does not make that truck look better it did not come with chrome and it looks out of place on that truck
Dodge trucks had their days of glory. Today's Dodge trucks are awful.
Yet they do all the hard work in construction. The only thing that goes wrong is the electronic nonsense that shouldn't be on them in the first place.
