ArticiferTom Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 Nice '31 ! These babies are rare . Do not think going to be easy . Maybe Country Traveler who has shop and yard will chime in . Does it run yet ? And would love more pics . Also Dave will be looking for the info on it for his research on trucks of that time build by Graham for Dodge and Chrysler .

keiser31 Posted November 7, 2018 Share Posted November 7, 2018 You might look at 1929-31 Plymouth and DeSoto doors. The doors are very similar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gameparts Posted November 8, 2018 Author Share Posted November 8, 2018 Thank you for the replies. Not sure what happened to the original door. Sadly the guy we got this from didn't have it and didn't know what happened to it. I will take a look at the 1929-31 Plymouth and DeSoto doors, Thanks! It is not running yet, but the engine turns over and we will get it running soon! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Close but I think the bottom hinge is lower on the Merchant. My guess is the passenger car will be wider also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted November 8, 2018 Share Posted November 8, 2018 (edited) Welcome gameparts.. Very rare and desirable. As Tom mentioned I'd be very interested in Frame #, wheelbase, engine # and any build card information you may have received from the Chrysler museum for our database as we try and track as many trucks to hopefully answer some questions for each model. What part of the country are you in ? If your close to Phoenix AZ or if you ever come to Phoenix I can give you a place with 80 acres of parts to look through. You may also want to reach out to Bob Scafani in northern CA. Let me know if you need his contact info and I can give it in a PM. What's your intention for the truck ?

Regards, Dave Hi 30DodgePanel, I will get you the Frame #, wheelbase, engine#, etc. I don't have anything from the Chrysler museum database. We are in San Diego, CA. Only about 5 hours from Phoenix. I would love to have the info for the 80 acres of parts and for Bob Scafani. We intend to restore the truck. It is fairly complete. Need the driver's door, and we need to replace rotted wood throughout the truck, replace the top, etc. Almost have the engine running. Not sure what else because we just got it. Thanks!

gameparts Posted November 11, 2018 Author Share Posted November 11, 2018 Here is some more info: Frame Serial Number: 8000251 Engine Serial Number: UT21417 I didn't get a chance to measure the wheelbase, but I'm sure it is going to be 109 because of the serial number and size of the truck (it is a small truck), 1/2 ton. So far I have had no luck finding the drivers door. A guy in Los Angeles listed a 1930 body with doors on letgo, but hasn't responded to my emails. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
