    Does anyone know the year of this Dodge Bros touring firewall? I can provide other pics, but this doesn't look like other DB firewalls I've seen around these here parts. Seems like there's normally a sunburst or some embossed stuff like that.
    Thanks.

    Your doors are '20-early '22. They have the one piece doors where '19 and earlier have door tops that are screwed on and early doors have forged narrower hinges where as yours are the wider stamped hinges. The hinge pockets are spaced a little different so the door will not interchange. So your body is '20-'22. Late '22 and '23 is wider and taller in the cowl and have a curved lower w/s similar to '24-'27 w/s bottom.

    @34 GAZ , your dating on yours is about right because of the rear fender mounting.

    I have a dozen or so Dodge Brothers cars and just made a deal for several more plus a bunch of DB parts. I have a bunch of open car doors as well. It's a sickness!
