Location of serial no (VIN) for '35 Dodge Bros 1 1/2 ton truck

[jpdv]

Well, here's post #1 for me on this forum.  I'm working on buying a '35 Dodge Brothers 1 1/2 ton truck that's been in storage for many years.  The seller will probably have to request a replacement title to compete the transaction.  To help this along, I'd like to be able to find the serial number on the truck.  Where should I look?  I'm not yet overly familiar with these vehicles.  I assume there might be separate engine and chassis serial numbers.  Any help with their whereabouts would be greatly appreciated.  If a number is stamped on the chassis somewhere, it would really help to know where to look, since there's a bit of rust "fuzz" that could hide faint numbers.

 

Thanks, Joe

Welcome to the site.

You will find a lot of good info; We have about 30 of the 30s Dodge trucks from yard art to show, from 1/2 ton to 3 tons. We also sell trucks and parts.

Examples below. Post some pictures and the history, please.

Thanks

Thanks!  Those photos are just what I needed.  I'm glad to see that the numbers are easy to get at, and generally very legible.  I can't give you photos yet; still in the process of closing the deal.  I'll probably go see the truck this weekend to try to round up any pieces that might have gotten separated from the truck, and talk to the seller about the title dilemma.

 

I've pretty much played with Chevys to date - some '57s as a kid in the '70s,  I bought a '55 in 1980 from the original owner and still have it.  Also have a nice unrestored '38 Chevy sedan.  My son has a '50 Dodge B-2-B though.  It's in my garage as he picks away at it.  The Dodge was originally purchased by my grandfather, so my son is a 4th generation owner.  I have to say, I'm attracted to the engineering of the old Dodge products; frankly, some of the Chevy antics make me shake my head, although I still like them.  Do you deal in pilothouse parts?  There might be some parts needs.

 

Here's a photo of the '50 pickup, coming to live in my garage.  Front clip & engine are removed, but you get the idea.

Join this club. Another great forum. BBQ that is geared to the pilot truck. It's held here about 60 miles from us in Clements CA. This will be my 4th outing. We even had a guy Fro AU attend our meet. It's held every April on the 1st weekend of the month. I was born and raised in Detroit. Telegraph and Woodward was my second home as a professional street racer. Some pictures of the event. Go to face boor and join my group called (Dodge City Vintage) Lot of good stuff. Fly out here and join our party.

Again, welcome to the forum. Nice truck I may ad.
