thanks for the reply, I'm new to all the forum thing. Tring to figure out exactly what I have. I plan to try to keep it original, I know it is 1937 dodge, I think it is a MD , not sure witch one. I know the head on the Eng is 25'' long and the block number isT30\2382. the wheel base is 136.5'' or 137'' it runs good but leaks oil everywhere. LOL with the things that a few have been kind enough to reply, I think I'm on the right track. it has a 3 speed. I would also like to find out if a 4 speed of some sort may fit it. I plan to clean it up , paint it , and use it. it came out of Frankfort KY. was told it came from factory as a stake bed truck. I think it will be a good truck in another 5 or 6 thousand. LOL any guidance from any one is welcome. maybe now I figured out how to reply thank you.
