Guest Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 I am starting to restore a 1933 Dodge Brothers pickup made in Canada. Can anyone help with the following questions:- What was the design on the hub caps?- How can I confirm the year of subject from the serial number- What is the most effective way of seraching for partsHope to hear from all your expertise soon.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 6, 2003 Share Posted August 6, 2003 Romar Parts, supplies and service Titusville, PA 814-827-7601 (fax-7161) will get you some of your parts. Their catalog is always changing so order a new one. If you see a part in there you need, order it immediatly because they may not have it when you want it. What other parts are you looking for, I have searched for many things and may be able to save you a bunch of time. If you have the #'s off the truck and the engine there are people out there who have books they can look them up in, if they don't respond email me the info and I will forward it to them. (Todd, are you out there??)Oh, and join the Dodge Brothers Club. The dues include their magazine that has lots of great advertizers for parts and such.Good luck!!

Guest imported_RAH Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 Jack, You neglected to mention if the wheels are artillary or wire, but they would both have 'block script' "DODGE" as opposed to the 'eyebrow' design of the passenger cars. Regarding the serial number on the model HC or HCL of '33, the Canadian serial number range started from 8,910,101. I am currently into a project of a '34 KC pickup. I would recommend joining the Dodge Brothers Club if you haven't yet done so. If I can be of further assistance leave me a personal note.

6219_Rules Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 I thought the Dodge Brothers used the star of David on the hubs? Am I misinformed (as usual)? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/blush.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 7, 2003 Share Posted August 7, 2003 While amazingly similar to the star of david the real significance of the "six pointed star" is that it symbolizes the fact that Dodge Brothers cars are known at the 6 points of the globe, at least Henry Austin Clark and others thus explained it to me years ago.

6219_Rules Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Thank you, Carlton! What a wonderful answer! I just found out that my new garage will only handle a car 14.7' long...would a small 1912 Caddy fit?? Are they cheap?? <img src="http://www.aaca.org/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" /> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Oh, if you could get a Caddy model 30, they are such reliable, beautifully engineered cars.I personally know 4 local guys who own them,one of whom drives his every day!A number of folks on this board are more familiar with them than I and I'm sure will agree with me.

Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 HI Hank I am informed that the engine was good when it was shut down in 1957. The pickup has been under cover since that time, oil looks clean, more checking to carried out.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted August 8, 2003 Share Posted August 8, 2003 Hi the serial number of the pickup is 8910676 if you can help much appreciated.Jack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_RAH Posted August 11, 2003 Share Posted August 11, 2003 Jack, It sounds like your pickup is an early '33 and would be an 'HC' model. It should have an engine number starting with "T5-". The factory original wire wheels were 5.25 x 17" but accessory 6.00 x 16" were also available. Hubcaps were the same for both. By the way the 'Star of David', frequently erroneously referred to on Dodge Brothers cars, is not even a star but rather two interlocking triangles one white and one black superimposed on a field of a world map.
