ok heres the deal. Im having a hell of a time trying to find any information on a peticular truck made by Dodge in the mid 1950's. The truck is a 1956 Dodge D300 (see pics below). I have come across a couple pictures, but cant come up with any information on the vehicles whatsoever. If anybody knows somewhere on the internet I could do some research that would be greatly appretiated. Also any store sites that deals in that era truck for repro parts would also be handy.

Thanks alot. I cant seem to do this on my own, so I hope the brainchild that is hotrodders.com can come up with something!

Thanks
Am I correct when I call this truck a D300? judging by the other pictures im finding, its a C-series truck... maybe I should just stick to chevy lol.

if someone could correctly identify this truck it would be a big help

[Magnus_Jager]

possibly folks over at www.moparts.com could help. What kind of info are you looking for?

That body style ran from 48-56 with slight diferences. 57 they made the hoods one piece and open like a modern car.

That grill being on the 54-56 ones.

I owned a 1956 Fargo 3 ton car hauler for about 10 years, it was my driver...

MoParts has a ton of guys full of knowledge, there is a "street rodder" forum there too now.

[UNWTRMY]

[Crazy Mopar Guy]

Nice find, clean looking too!
My 56 looked identical but was a 3 ton, bigger fenders etc. I'll see if I can dig out pics..
My flathead 6 looked identical too, wonder if it was the same ? There was a tag on my driver's door pillar... maybe take a look see if you have one?

[UNWTRMY]

Nope sorry, no tag in any pillars in the cab. did you ever have to get any replacment parts or performance parts for that '56 or the flat 6? if so what sources did you use. im having some trouble finding manufacturers of parts for the truck. Ive always been a chev guy, but when i seen this beauty my eyes lit up. wheres a good place to look up performance parts on the engine?i do not know awhole lot about Mopar so any help is apretiated
