1949 B1B Woodie Wagon

Front View
Charles Furman's 1949 B1B Woodie Wagon. Wooden body was built by J. T. Cantrell & Co. As you can imagine this truck is extremely rare. The other Chrysler Corporation woodys in the this era were all built on passenger car platforms. This however, is is build on a standard 1/2 ton B1 truck platform.

Rear View
A cowl body truck (body from windshield forward only) was delivered to Cantrell for the custom wood body. On the cover of the B Series factory parts books is a photo of a simlar truck.

It probably started life as a railway express delivery vehicle. A very few Dodge Powerwagons were also delivered with custom wood bodies. Additional information about Cantrell can be found at http://www.dodgepowerwagon.com/woody/cantrell2.html
