Guest Brian Scott Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 I was going to get pics of the frame but couldn't really take to many pics it was raining/sleeting and its suppose to snow tonight and tomorrow so I got what I could. I was told by a guy I know that my recently purchased 1929 Dodge was in fact a chevy frame and cowl and the rest maybe dodge. It was found in a field all together but I know it was worked on/butchered in the 60's. I put some of it together and the cut marks on the cowl match the body and door and it all seems to fit the frame perfect so I think it all goes together. So please tell me what you guys think it is because if it is a 29 dodge I know where a parts car is that the top is smashed I can get most everything I need for it but if it isn't I am going to need to find something else. http://img2.putfile.com/thumb/2/5317254597.jpg' alt='5317254597.jpg'> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aacalifeer Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Not a Chevrolet, at least the dash and cowl are not. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest M_BARK Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Fenders look like a 28 Dodge.Go to google and type in 1928 Dodge then sift through the postings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Dashboard and cowl look to definately be Dodge. Dash, plain and simple with nothing but holes for the speedometer and two guages and the hole in the cowl for a pop up ventilator make it unmistakebly Dodge.

Guest Brian Scott Posted February 25, 2008 Share Posted February 25, 2008 Thats good to hear? Looking at the 28 dodges it does look a lot like them but how close are they to a 29, can I use 29 parts on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickelroadster Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I would not swear that what you have is a 29 Dodge, but it is definitely Dodge. Check out the pictures of a 1927 Dodge in the for sale section. I went and saw it in person last week. From what I gather , the mechanicals changed quite a bit from 27 to 29 but the body appears to have stayed the same. I am admittably saying this only from looking at pictures. Hopefully, someone that really knows Dodges will speak up and verify this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dandy Dave Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 I had the remains of a 28 or 29 Desoto at one time that was very similar to this. I know where the car is if you want it for parts. Has a straight eight in it. Dave! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Brian Scott Posted February 27, 2008 Share Posted February 27, 2008 I might want to take a look at it. I need some sheetmetal t go on the passenger side. If its close enough I can use and modify it to look how I want. As for the motor I think I might have located a 4 cyl out of a 27 or 28 dodge that a guy rodded out, got most of the powertrain he thinks just threw it to the side of the garage when he took it out.
