So again, thank you everyone for helping on this. At this point, I'd like to sell it to a good home. I definitely dont have time to restore it and would love to sell it to someone who intends to do so rather than part out and cut up. Obviously it's very rare and deserves being put back together rather than yard art. Put the word out please, I'm looking for $1500.

Thank you so much for all the information everybody...I have...some closure. Ultimately, I would just love to know how many were built like this, but I don't believe the records exist to break the numbers down like that. Regardless, I do believe it to most likely be extremely rare and we'll see....perhaps I'll tackle this project someday.

Turning out to be a unicorn. Annoyingly intriguing.

Opt. and Spec. Equip. appears to say "Fisk" and "Disn" but the"i" isn't dotted so it may be "Desn". Perhaps that mean sedan delivery??

Numbers under starter are 801028 and 8*5*9

Engine number appears to be UT1027...kind of looks like UI1027 maybe.

Measured and it's 109" wheelbase. Also found this data plate attached on floor - drivers side. Hard to make out, but it appears to read: 337- -758

not a good picture, but here you can see one of the side panels stuffed in with all the other parts.

Here's the build card, like I said, it didn't help much. Wheelbase is 110"

Here's a quick rendering of what I have but can find no record of existing. And it is most certainly stock from the factory - not a customization.

Unfortunately, the truck has been completely disassembled. I'll try to get a picture of the panel sides to show everyone what i'm talking about. The bed walls come straight up and then connect to the upper panel sides, each side having (2) window openings (like a sedan delivery). The back has 2 doors. Very odd for what I know of old Panels. Anyways, I'll try to get some photos of the panel sides soon.

Recently, while helping clean up a family member’s property, they gave me a dilapidated old Dodge in their back field for “yard art”. While going through some old sheds, I struck rusty gold and found the majority of the parts for it. Numbers on the engine and frame Tell me that it’s a 1929 Merchant Express, but I haven’t been able to learn much more. My curiosity is through the roof because the parts I found for it would make it a “Panel”, however..the Panel sides have (2) window holes as seen on sedan deliveries….but this is a truck?? I haven't been able to find any online info on this style of Panel. Chrysler sent me the build card, but that didn't help at all with the mystery. Serial number is P1028 (27th Merchant express to roll off the line in 1929). Can anyone shed any light on this??
