rogerpete Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 I remember reading on these forums about factory writing in specific places inside the Dodges. Came across this today- Drives door, should I assume it means Taupe Mohair?These were under the seat. The 4 way is not original, but I feel the crank & the tire tool is. What is the flat bar?Isn't the exterior paint somewhere inside the interior as well?My ThanksRoger Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Yes, at least in my '31s there is writing regarding the colors. Passenger side rear near the window..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1930 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Pictures are not large enough to see details but the flat bar is likely what was used to pry the tire off the rim. Something someone would use often back in the day, not original equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerpete Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 (edited) How about the T/M?We've seen the flat bar before- and have seen too many for them to be homemade. Didn't know the use, figured it had to be tire, but what was the slot used for... Edited March 16, 2014 by rogerpete (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
72caddy Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 Probably just for slipping another bar in for twisting it out - leverage Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rogerpete Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 So here is the rear next to the window...It says Black DC 3-26 or 3-36Was it all black or black & DC? So is the DC because this is a DC8, or was that paint initials?Is 3-26 a date? or os 3-36 a code?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rogerpete Posted March 16, 2014 Author Share Posted March 16, 2014 How about the number 3-26/36?Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobless Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 How about the number 3-26/36?ThanksStumped on that, unless you have codes for that time ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
knobless Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 these are 1934 codes mine is 3rd from bottom, but it still does not cover trim code only on build card.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keiser31 Posted March 16, 2014 Share Posted March 16, 2014 The "DC" is the model designation just as the "DH" in mine is. The flat tire iron looks like the same one that my all original 1926 Chevrolet had. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
