If you guys wanna read a good, sappy love story, check out "Truck" by John Jerome. In it, Jerome buys a worn-out 1951 Dodge B2B pickup & restores it as a work truck for his farm. The book chronicles his experiences, & while it tends to be a bit heavy in the "granola/hippy" idiom, Jerome is a good enuff writer to get you to fall in love w/the old junky truck, too. His truck is a smaller, 1/2 ton pickup version of Julian's big van, which looks to be at least a ton chassis. IIRC, Dodge came out w/the "Pilot House/Job-Rated" series of trucks in 1948, & made few changes on them til 1955.
