I would appreciate any help on this thank you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana J Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Here are 2 pictures of my car when I brought it home. I first thought it was a cj but learned it was not. The engines are different. Let me know if you would like more pictures. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dana J Posted January 4, 2009 Share Posted January 4, 2009 Note the radiator grill is for a 29 not a 30. The hood does not fit well. The 30 rad shell is thin on top. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bill Harmatuk Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 My 30 Model CJ-6 has curved front bumpers and the cowl lamps mount directly on the edge of the cowl with a ball and socket type mount.You have either a 31 or these two items have been changed.My car is about 5/8ths restored, 47k miles, NO rustout, and I have a lot of stuff new or redone but a lot needs to be done. It runs but doesn't have the correct carburetor.Rhode Island Wiring copied my wiring harness back in the 70's for a pattern and made me a duplicate of original for somewere around half price.By the way... The car is coming home next week. Get'in her out of storage, finally.Bill H Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest imported_Bill-W Posted January 5, 2009 Share Posted January 5, 2009 Chrysler Engineering classified all Chrysler CJ models as 1930, as they based their model year on the calendar year from about 1928 through 1932. The sales department, however, declared that the model year changed on July 1st (or thereabouts) of each year. So, for the Chrysler CJ serial numbers :1930 -H400WP to H490HS6500001 to 65149191931 - 6514920 to 6520171Engine numbers -1930 - CJ1001 to CJ244941931-CJ24494 to CJ30292BillVancouver, BC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dana J Posted January 22, 2009 Share Posted January 22, 2009 Hi Dave;This car is an early 30 Royal 66 Sedan with dual sidemounts.I picked it up a little over a year ago and have since redone the motor (original). It does now start and run but need a new head and looking for a radiator. I am now working on replacing wood in the top section. A bit time consuming. But all good things take time (and money). I am pleased about the shape the car was in. Very little rust. 73.000 miles and stored for 35 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Isaiah Posted May 3, 2019 Share Posted May 3, 2019 My 1930 Chrysler CJ6, Made into a truck for the last depression I have owned it around 30m years and working on getting it on the road again. The box on it has a hand lift on it so you can dump the box . I have a zenith carb off a tractor on it and at this point a 6v electric fuel pump. My wife and I scraped the spokes and varnished them. I got the gas ration book with it. Im re doing the break hoses at this time and when Iget it out side Ill get some better pictures Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Todd Daubenspeck Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 Thanks Keiser31. I appreciate the assistance. Do you know of anyone producing a service repair manual for the vehicle? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know of anyone producing a service repair manual for the vehicle? There is no real 'service repair manual' available for the 1931 Chrysler products as far as I have been able to find out. The owner's manual/instruction book has the main elements covered, but mostly for adjustments and not assembly/disassembly. When my Dad gave me my 1931 Dodge Brothers DH6, it was in pieces and I had to figure out the puzzle that is my coupe. Your '31 DeSoto would be very similar to my Dodge and similar to the 1931 Chrysler CM6. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Todd Daubenspeck Posted September 30, 2022 Share Posted September 30, 2022 (edited) Once again, thank you very much for your kindness and expertise. I suppose those of us with later cars like my '60 DeSoto Adventurer are spoiled by the comprehensive service manuals available to us. Wishing you nothing but the best!
