The dependable 218 CI L-6 engine which had powered half- and 3/4-ton trucks since 1942 was dropped in favor of the slightly larger 110 horsepower 230 cubic L-6. The 241 CI V-8, Dodge's first OHV V-8. These engines continued through the 1956 model year.

the engine is not original, BUT,(THIS IS BIG) the truck itself ..... does this truck have a single wrap around back glass? it looks like it in the pic. If this is true, this is a 3 window super, or something like that. anyway... its really rare. dont sell it ever.

That sure looks like a '54 truck to me. '56 had the wrap around windshield.

As a midyear 1955 model Dodge engineers introduced a seriously revised cab with a "Pilot-House" or "Full-Circle" wraparound windshield and cab-wide rear window for even better visibility. The trucks were offered with the highest level of cab interior trim and exterior ornamentation than any previously offered Dodge pickup. New features included two-tone paint schemes and bright new upholstery colors. The upscale cabs displayed new Custom and Custom Regal nameplates.
