Need info on 1934-35-36? truck.

MADE IN L.A CA.

KH-31V is a K series 1935 1-1/2 ton truck probably with 131" wheelbase, and this one is a canopy truck. I'm not certain what the V means. The dash matches 1935 dashes in the references I have as well. Body styling is first series, BUT trucks with integral cabs (canopy, panel, screen side, sedans) apparently kept the first series look when the new cabs were introduced in late 1935. Only trucks with regular cabs (like pickups, chassis cabs, etc) got the new cab with front hinged doors. 1936 models were apparently introduced in November 1935. So, looks like you're are probably right that this is a late 1935 production 1935 1-1/2 ton canopy truck.

Yeah, I think you're right. It could also be a screen side truck. Or maybe a custom ordered truck with a closed rear of cab? Apparently Dodge did a lot of custom items for customers. You never know.

That is a very interesting truck. .. Love those suicides

Dave,

I'd be interested in the running board sizes off this truck ( I need a set of 57" X 11"<!-- google_ad_section_end --> ). These running boards look like a better match than the ones on the 29 truck you have that you showed us in the DA-124 thread but I could be wrong. These look more straight without the bends and the diamond pattern is more consistant on the outer edge and thats what I need and would save me from doing alot of fab work.

As for the body style of this 1935 KHV-1 I'd say it's a Canopy that has the rear of a Coupe or Sedan patch panel over the rear and top. Hard to tell from the pic you posted with the glare but if you look at the corners and seems along where I highlighted with yellow arrows you may find your answer. Since your onsite you should be able to get a closeup of those areas and determine if any homemade welds were done. Just at a glance the top looks totally amateur but again, hard to tell with the glare.

Also, I would look for any indication of snaps or connectors of some sort on the underside of the wood bedrails to see if you see any sign of where the canvas top or posts may have been located at one time. Just a thought...
