countrytravler Posted November 13, 2016 Share Posted November 13, 2016 (edited) Someone had posted here and I can not find it on what you have to do to exchange doors and fit them between the Dodge car and truck in the years 33 to 34 and 34 to 33. Does a 33 A pillar have more of a back slope than the 34? Thanks Dave Edited November 13, 2016 by countrytravler (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bonesteel Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Dave-- My sympathies to you and Christiane. Having been there before you moved I know that must have been a chore! On the doors, the 33 doors at the A-pillar are more vertical than the 34 doors. 33 four door sedan doors will fit a 33 or 34 panel truck (not sure about a commercial sedan, never had one of those). You can use 33 car doors on an express (pickup) but you have to modify the upper rear corner at the B-pillar. The pickup door is rounded off while the coupe and sedan doors are squared off. Will shoot you some pictures later today, I just happen to have a bunch of doors out in my garage. SMB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thanks, Scott. Only took 11 months to move. Have a customer with a 34 Dodge coupe that needs a drivers door. He said that he is a fabricator and would take anything that closely resembles the fit. Here is his car. Will a 34 DR head work on a 33 Plymouth? My Hollender book says no.

Scott Bonesteel Posted November 19, 2016 Share Posted November 19, 2016 Here are a couple of comparison pictures. The door in primer is a 33, the other one a 34. While they are both 31" across at the center of the belt line, the 34 has much more slope to it than the 33 at the A-pillar. At the rear lower corner, the 34 is a thicker door. The last picture shows the top rear corner of a pickup door (which I have always believed were the same 33-34-first series 35 in the truck line) and you can see it is rounded off. Probably not too hard to modify from a passenger car door, as long as it was also a 33. Hope this helps. SMB P.S. I still need some front door window garnishes for my 34 PE if you find any. Thanks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted November 19, 2016 Author Share Posted November 19, 2016 Thank you, Scott. Do you have a picture of the molding? Thanks Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
27 panel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I know this an old conversation but do you still have that red door? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott Bonesteel Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 I assume you mean the one in the photo with the blue 34 door. Yes I do but it is going on my 34 humpback. Sorry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
