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 ![]() 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 |
