1935 Dodge KC truck

[RJTX667]

I have a 1935 Dodge KC truck I am working to restore, and I came across something that I can't figure out.

 

I have the build sheet from Dodge, so I know the frame and the cab are the factory original parts.

 

All the research I have done shows there are 2 style KC's in 1935. The early style used the 34 cab and had suicide doors. The later style had a new cab and had "normal" doors.

 

I just noticed that my cab is most defiantly a 34 style cab, the windshield is not curved around the bottom edge and it does not have an all metal roof on the cab.

 

But I do not have suicide doors. Even the placement of my door hinges are not the same as any other 35 KC I have seen online.

 

So my question is what do I have? Did someone mess with my doors? Did Dodge make a few 34 style cab trucks without suicide doors?

 

Any thoughts or suggestions for a direction to go would be greatly appreciated.

From my reading, it appears to be a second series '35. Was it made in Canada, Michigan, or Los Angeles, their new plant in '35.?  Yours looks like a short box - 62.75 inches. Is the ram hood ornament cast in two pieces as was done later in '35?

the hood ordinate is not the original one. It is the short box (KC) not the long box (KCL)

 

This is a Pic of a 2nd series, notice the windshield is different and the door hinges are lower on the door.

 

The build sheet is also attached, but does not say what plant it was made at.

Regardless of having suicide doors or not...  Your truck looks FANTASTIC!

After I restore my 1936 and 1937 Dodge trucks, I need to find one these....

It looks nice from afar, but has lots of issues.

 

i already tore it down to the frame and powder coated the frame, got a new wire harness and starting to get it back together.

 

have to get an engine and rebuild it and my front fenders are almost beyond repair. But its coming along!!
