The Pilot-House cab (with the wraparound windshield) was unveiled in April 1955, which makes this pickup a 1955-56 "Job-Rated" C3-series. With a V8 (see the hood emblem), not a L6, so this pickup is either a C3-B8, a C3-C8 or a C3-D8, depending on the payload. There are 3 wheelbases for these pickups: 108"/2.74 m (½-ton B-108 only), 116"/2.95 m (½-ton B-116, ¾-ton C-116 and 1-ton D-116) and 126"/3.20 m (1-ton D-126 only): (108" wheelbase // 116" wb // 126 wb) "Ours" seems to have the medium (116") wheelbase, so it could be either a ½-ton C3-B8-116, a ¾-ton C3-C8-116 or a 1-ton C3-D8-116. Let's keep it as a generic C-3 (C-3 with an hyphen for consistency with the similar trucks already identified in the IMCDb) ⇒ 1955 Dodge C-3 -- Last edit: 2015-02-22 14:34:44
