Something for eLMeR, maybe (and for anybody who etc.). If you could tell me what the truck is, I'd be delighted to open its page: Studebaker? |

Dodge LC? |

(I promised myself not to work on models made before WWII... Should I thank you for this one? ) Apparently a 1936-38 Dodge panel. I'd narrow the model year to 1937-38 due to the fenders. Does the L you proposed, truckface, stand for a 1936 model? If so, we have to find the code letters for 1937 or 1938 (T for 1939, V for 1940, W for 1941 and after). C would be for a ½-ton panel, which mean the 116"/2.95 m wheelbase model. Does the truck have this wheelbase, or has it the 136"/3.45 m ¾/1-ton one (same 136" wheelbase may have been used for a 1½-ton model, but this would need further "investigations")? (1937 116" "Commercial Panel" // 1938 "¾-1 Ton Panel" - No payload given for the first one, we have to assume it is lower than ¾-ton, i.e. ½-ton ) ⇒ 1937 Dodge Panel? (With no "Truck" nor "Delivery" nor anything else as complement, as they were just sold as "Panels") -- Last edit: 2015-03-04 06:06:45 |

I just used the one from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as reference. Dodge Commercial Panel [LC]. -- Last edit: 2015-03-04 11:52:57 |

As might happen when talking about 70 to 80 years old vehicles, some of the MY of these Dodge panels seems to be wrong in the IMCDb, and chassis codes were a big mess for the following Job-Rated era models (and for a lot of other trucks ), so I'd prefer find some external references about this "chassis code" before saying it's the good one... By the way, Commercial Panel should be used only if certain of a 116" wheelbase. -- Last edit: 2015-03-04 15:37:54 |

Step by step... 1936 fenders if Commercial Panel, 1937 if ¾-1 Ton Panel. And there was a 1½-ton panel in 1936 apparently replaced by the ¾-1 Ton model in 1937: (Click...) -- Last edit: 2015-03-04 15:30:01 |
