32 vs. 34 dodge grills

im looking for a 34 dodge grill for a sedan. i have been offered a 32 dodge sedan shell but im not 100% sure if its the same part or not. any help would be much appreciated, is the 34 a single year part or what will work?

thanks

 

i have also been told that a 34 plymouth has the same grill sheel. but thats only one persons opinion. any help would be nice, would like to find this part and have it sitting at home when i return from afghanistan.

 

1932 Dodge grill is different than 1933 and '34. Here is the '32...

 

32 is diffarent from a 34...

 

I agree with the above guys.

 

1931 and 1932 are closely related except for a sharper crease at the very bottom. The '32 bottom is more round. Here is the '31. Look at the crease in the bottom center...

The third photo is a 1933. 1933 and 1934 are closely related with more of a laid back, streamlined look....

 

Not the same,as above stated. 32 Dodge and Plymouth are close to the same. Here is the Plymouth.

 

thanks everyone. i will be calling easy jacks tomorrow and see if he has a 34. if not i think i could get away with using a 33. might have to play around with some seams and clearances.

half the images i have google of 34 had the charging ram. i hope like hell i can find an original one.

 

they are all different with the 32 being the flattest.

 

mines a '35 .. here's the grille mounted..

 

1931 and 1932 DB shells are the same as far as "flatness". 1931 or 1932 Plymouth shell is a completely different animal. I have studied these for about 50 years......I know......I should REALLY get a life.

 

Bones, Not to hijack your thread but where are you finding early Mopar stuff. I can't find anything.

Well I did find a guy in Ill who restores early 30's plymouths and had almost everything I needed. However after he found out I was building a Street Rod he stopped answering my emails or phone calls. Some of the restorers are spooky that way. I should have know better then to tell him what I was building.

 

stick with looking for the 34 Dodge grill & shell, the 33 Dodge one is quite different, even go for a glass one for now until you an get a steel one.

The attached photo is a 1934 Dodge one

 

Every year of dodge & plymouth in 30"s is different. You cannot swap these based on hoods, etc.

 

How about pickup trucks?
