Reg Evans Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Looks like a '39 Huckster. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keiser31 Posted November 7, 2015 Share Posted November 7, 2015 Looks like a '39 Huckster.Yep....you are correct. It DOES look more like a 1939 the way the grille dips near the center. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30dodge35 Posted November 9, 2015 Share Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) As you stated because of the way the grill vee goes downward, I would agree 39 dodge, 1/2 or 1 ton? 40 grill went straight , with more Crome Edited November 9, 2015 by 30dodge35 (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest DodgeKCL Posted November 19, 2015 Share Posted November 19, 2015 I'm guessing,and this is a guess,that it started life as a "cab and chassis"and then had a screen side body put on it. (Dodge sold 4 versions of their car chassis through out the 30s as 'Commercial Cars'- 'flat faced cowl and chassis','windshield cowl and chassis','cab and chassis' and then the the chassis with their body on it,pick-up,panel van etc. This one appears to be a cab and chassis.)

Guest Bob Call Posted December 5, 2015 Share Posted December 5, 2015 The June/July 2015 WPC News featured reproductions of ads for 1946 Dodge trucks. Shown are the 1/2 ton Model WC and the 1 ton Model WD-21 Canopy Trucks. The 1/2 ton appears to have the same roof as your truck. Wood covered with a weatherproof fabric. The 1 ton appears to have had a metal roof. The sides and rear of these canopy trucks had roll down screens and/or weatherproof curtains. Canopy trucks had a single bucket seat with the cargo floor extending forward to where a passenger seat would be located on other truck models. The 1/2 ton had a 116 inch wheelbase and the 1 ton a 133 inch wheelbase. Dual rear wheels were an option on the 1 ton. The Canopy truck was not offered in the 3/4 ton series.

ericbt Posted January 5, 2016 Share Posted January 5, 2016 That is a 1939 Canopy. It is hard to be 100% sure from that picture, but it looks like a 1 ton which was a TD-21 in the 133" wheel base. Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
