I'm not sure what year and make this cab is. A buddy traded me off some parts for it and I thought it looked pretty solid so what the hell. But niether of us know exactly what it is. My guess is maybe about a 36 dodge pickup? If anyone knows please give me some info Thanks.
Its a 37 or so plymouth, i had one. Cant remember but ether 36 or 38 is the same cab. Dodge had suicide doors that year, i had one of them tooo= very simililar looking. Not the holy bible know it all, just going off what i had there should be about a 2" hole in the center of the dash rail with the plymouth "boat" {like chris columbus sailing to plymouth rock] if it hasent been robbed.its a very solid looking body, will make a cool rod. Oh yeah when you chop it and shave the drip rails, fill em with a strip of metal, like an idiot i glassed mine in, made a ton of body work night mares
'36 to '38 dodge pickup. Pretty much the same for those years, pretty hard to tell apart without the grills. It appears the body ID # is still on the cab, might help to narrow it down. It's not the same as the serial #, which would be the same as the number stamped on the frame (closest thing to a VIN), but it could still help narrow it down a little. Here's a pic of my '37's cab for reference...
There you go, ya learn somthin new every day. Looks identical to my plymouth. So what year is my dodge cab with suicide doors? Very close but the door fronts follow the angle of the cowl seal.firewall is a little shorter
Looks like a '37 Dodge Brothers to me. I think I still have a pair of front fenders for one in my dad's garage attic. Really cheap IF they are still there and IF you're interested.
thanks guys for the help. and Matt Franklin as for the fenders man I usually don't run them. also I think I may let this one go to a new owner. I have too much other stuff to finish as it is. I will pass on the info to the next owner though.
Close, but not exact. The '35s are referred to as first or second series. The first series still had the suicide doors, the second had the rear opening doors. The factory didn't wait until the end of the year to make the change over to rear opening doors. They didn't get the name "suicide" for nothing. While I don't imagine the manufacturers got sued the way they would today, I'll bet there are lots of long forgotten horror stories about foolish and stupid people and front opening doors.
Hey Guys I am working on a 38 fargo right now and it looks identical to your cab! Thanks Grant www.schwartzwelding.com
