Dodge B Series
The Dodge division of Chrysler used the name Dodge B- series for two different types of vehicles, a pickup truck and a van.
Pickup
The pickup was offered from 1948 to 1953. It replaced the Dodge truck that was built before the Second World War. As of 1954, the C- series took her place.
The B-series pickups a cab with larger windows, which could be equipped with rear side windows. The cars had the same frame as their pre-war counterpart, however, the focus was on the front, so that the loading capacity was greater.
Van
The name B- series refers also produced a number of large vans, the Dodge from 1970 to 2003. Originally they were called B100, B200 and B300, then we added 50 and multiplied the result by 10, so that the new names B1500, B2500 and B3500 were.
Sold they were also called Dodge Sportsman, Dodge Van and Plymouth Voyager (1974-1983); then they were called Ram Van, Ram Wagon, and - more recently - Mini Ram Van. There was also a model with a greater height under the name Kary Van.
Vans and vans had the same chassis and engines ( 6 - and 8-cylinder ), but the vans had seats for up to 15 passengers (with the Maxivans ), dual air conditioning ( in later years ) and large side windows. The Vans 15 people are now commonly used by commuters, churches, scout groups and certain companies or as camping vehicles.
