Seriously what the heck is this

so what did my $100 get me today

 

33 or 34 Plymouth pick up ?

 

we thought maybe a 36 gmc or 37 dodge, but not sure

 

ya could have waited until he was finished...

 

do you know how to tell the difference between the dodge and plymouth

 

Not much if any difference in the cab but the Dodge grille and hood was different. The sweep back of the cowl sides and the coil mount say 1930's Mopar . Very low production numbers too .

 

Looks like it got you a great deal!!

 

1936/ 37 mopar pickup

 

Damn, I wish we had tin like that in Michigan. If that were here, the bottom 6" would be gone and the rest wouldn't be 20 bucks of scrap...I need to make a road trip...

 

Dunno what it is, but I'll swap ya something interesting for the cowl vent, mechanism and an inch or more of the surrounding sheet metal.

Got machinist stuff to swap.
Right now, lots of micrometers & digital calipers etc.

 

its a late 35 or 36 dodge truck,you can tell by the straight windshield header..37-38 have a more rounded top header

 

Regardless of what it is I'd say you got your money's worth. I like it!

 

well thanks for all the input. Its missing a driver door,front window frame, and probably alot of other stuff, so I'd be intrested in finding a place to round up the needed parts if anyone has any leads.

 

What are your plans for it???

 

not sure yet....
...my only plans are to use as many extra parts from my other projects as possible.
It will deefinately end up white. I am slightly crazy about that color on my projects.
Im thinkin
-poncho 400 th400
-old aluminum 215
-international gauges (look like classic sw's black chrome ring w/o logo
-62 vette rearend
-51 chevy column
-4 1-1/2 ton chevy steel wheels

some sort of random concoction on a random or scratchbuilt frame
I dont have a clue actually
it was a thoughtless purchase
cash+opportunity=fun

 

"it was a thoughtless purchase
cash+opportunity=fun"

yeah... I got piles of that around here.

 

todays a good day for trucks i scooped one to and dont know what it is .

 

congrats RG
throw a pic up, sounds like someone could point you in the right direction
I just tried lookin up parts for this and found next to nothin
I hope you have better luck

 

Thanks anyways, its gonna be a driver

 

$100.00 bucks sweet deal,i like the dash

 

Nice find, yeah probably dodge, they changed from the suicide doors in 35, gotta put a mopar mill in it thou. 100 bucks is a steal for sure

 

Dodge is still in production.
lol, sorry Jared, I couldn't resist.
