Hello 33, Do you have any serial nos or engine nos? This helps identify & date your vehicle. They started making changes in late '34 right up to the end in 35. The early KCs shared alot of body parts with the DP [1933] Dodges. Hope this helps Manuel

There is a forum for these trucks. At http://autos.groups.yahoo.com/group/39-47Dodge/messages They may be able to help.

Profred, Sounds like a Dodge you have there. They did not issue torque specs until the 1940s or after. This site has a pretty thorough set of torque specs for prewar Dodges & Plyms. http://www.ply33.com/Repair/torque.html Hope this helps Manuel

They are available new in Australia. Plymouth mascots too for 1933-4. I have an original Ram that is not attached to the cap. Hope this helps. Manuel

Hi, Have a look at these sites for DO info; http://carnut.com/specs/gen/dodge30.html and http://www.autogallery.org.ru/m/dd1933.htm regards, Manuel

Ford Transit vans had them also. Manuel

Sounds to me like an F30 or F31. Probably the 1054th built. Serial no started at 8470001. Engine no started at DD2T-1036. Made in Detroit. The 6 cyl engines were 208ci 63hp or 241ci. Is your trans a 3 or 4 speed? Hope this helps Manuel

My Service Station Assoc, Flat Rate Manual states 60-65 for Dodge 4s. Hope this helps, Manuel

My book says much the same. MF36 = 133" wheelbase. 1 1/2 tons, engine no should start with T41-xxxx. Hope this helps. Manuel

One of the old car magazines ran a story on a Cleveland car recently. Let me know & I will get the name & edition.

Hello John, My KC hubcaps are 7" in dia & are 3/4" wide when attached to the wheel. They are slightly curved & have the "DODGE" name in capitals across the face. I don't have a picture of them. If u need any more info let me know. Manuel

I don't know what type of headlights I have on my KC, but they are 10" dia & 7" wide. Hope this helps, Manuel

What info do you need. Manuel

There is a web site for Clement B. They have the history & pics of some cars. There are some French sites as well. Hope this helps. Manuel

Well, I hope it gets restored. What did it bring in the end? Manuel

Just cruising thru ebay & found an unrestored KC. I'm curious to see how much interest there will be in the old girl. [under passenger vehicles] regards, Manuel

For those interested in KC Dodges. In the Dec 2002 issue of the usa car magazine "Collectible Automobile" they have run a 4 page story on a 1934 KC pick up. regards, Manuel

John, there are a couple of places in Oz u could try. If u email me I will supply names & address. Hope this helps. Manuel
