I found the ID tag under the hood and the model is CI-HA6-153. It says it is 16,000 GVW. I am trying to find out as much about this old dog as possible. I have a few pictures of the homecoming. She is ugly now, but give me time... Does this model# mean anything to anybody? :D These trucks were made from 48-56 on the drivers door post there should be a plate with a serial # That is equivalent to the vin # so run that and it will give you more information.

Yours is a D style and was the first Dbodge truck to use a curved windshield. Also check out the Antique Truck Club of America (antiquetruckclubofamerica.org) Good magazine, friendly folks. Good luck with the project.   [Reply]  [Send Email]
