Elmer_Stange Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 Does anyone have information on what standard tools like jacks, engine cranks, wheel wrenches etc. came with 1937 Dodge MC/MD trucks? I think they were usually stored under the seat. I have an engine crank and an old jack but I think the jack is for a Ford. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Hens tooth if you find out, DBC published the Guide to Authentic Tools 1914-1938, with only two pages dedicated to our trucks. And neither page has any reference to the '36-'38 years...John Bittence wrote the section, perhaps there is more info since it was first published January 2012. Reprints are available through here (click this). Let me know what/if you find out and will follow this thread. BTW, I do have a giant box of old DB tools, I just don't know what ones to use in the Trucks, and when I do will get the wife to sew up some re-pop pouches.

nearchoclatetown Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 I would think the owner's manual would list them just like the cars. But I have never seen a truck manual and I am sure there are none in the DBC collection at AACA library. Truck info is pretty slim in our stash, not because of no interest. It is because most trucks were used up and thrown away. Elmer, you could contact the AACA library and and ask them if they have anything. I have a dealer truck brochure bought that I have not picked up yet and haven't seen. When I get it next week I will look through it, it's a '39. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 There are re-pop maintenance manuals that were supplied with our trucks new, '37-'38 on Ebay, only tools they show in the book is the jack and lug nut handle.

nearchoclatetown Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Have you looked at the AACA library online catalog? They show two manuals for '37 trucks in our collection. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Gregush Posted February 20, 2021 Share Posted February 20, 2021 My 1941 copyright Series WD owners manual only talks about the jack being supplied and that is the section on how to remove the wheels. So there may not be a list of supplied tools in them. The manual is what came with my 1946 1 ton when I got it in 1973 or 74. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We depend on each other for knowledge sharing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
36 D2 Coupe Posted February 22, 2021 Share Posted February 22, 2021 One of the moderators on this forum - Karl, I think, had the massive tool and jack tent at Hershey and he might have the answer for you. I just can't recall his handle. Can someone else help with his contact? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintchry Posted February 23, 2021 Share Posted February 23, 2021 My 1938 Dodge truck Master parts book has a listing for tools, no photos. PM me and I will forward a photo of the page. Rob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
