Hans1 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 looks like body cut off behind front seat area. not likely an origonal a pickup, disk wheels look like my old '23, long gone good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pkhammer Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Likely a early 20's sedan that was modified for farm use. No real value as a collector car but don't toss it! Put on some tires and get it running. I have a Model A "Doodle Bug" that is very similar. That thing is more fun than a person should be allowed to have. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1937hd45 Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I may be off on the year but think it is a 1924 Dodge Brothers, once a Touring Car. Note the windshield post holes in the cowl. Nice find. Bob 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wayne sheldon Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 Oh please don't toss it! It may not have much value dollar-wise, but would be a great piece to show the ingenuity of American farmers during one of the most devastating financial eras in a hundred years. Many people would like to see that 'truck' restored to its former glory as a truck. And I do not think you should have any troubles finding a caretaker willing to pay a few dollars for it, and then cherish it for the role it played in history! Some fixing up would be in order. The missing fenders can be had, mid'20s Dodge parts are generally available, Running boards not much of a problem. Some body fixing, tires, doors and windshield replaced would make a great piece and a fun truck to use and show "as they were". Where is it located? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JACK M Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I think it would make great yard art. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFranklin Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 If you decide to part with it, put it on Ebay and start the bids at $1.00. What is there is worth at least a few hundred or more to someone needing a parts car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostriderr Posted November 6, 2020 Author Share Posted November 6, 2020 Original plan was to restore it. needed more info to make a decision. I believe it was a sedan and was cut off and made into a truck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AHa Posted November 6, 2020 Share Posted November 6, 2020 I believe someone had been driving it on those tires with no air in them. It may not be worth a restoration in the strictest sense but well worth preserving as is with minimal improvement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
