I'm restoring a Dodge Brother KH31 from 1934.

And i need same more infomation on the rear end of the car.

On the moment there is a tipper on the back and it is not orginal.

I want to make it as orginal as possible so if you can help me please contact me.

Best regards,

David the truck may very well have come in only it's cab and chassis form. It was and is up to the buyer to install whatever he wanted/wants on the rear for the job he's going to use it for. Many had flat beds installed for the farm and in your case a dump box. Unless you know different I would believe this is how the truck has spent it's life. If you don't want the dump box then the other most common use was a stake sided flat bed. The bed was made of hard wood with a steel edge to it and 2X4 uprights with 1X4 slats across the uprights.

There's a nice photo of "your" truck on page 31 of the "DODGE PICKUPS History and Restoration Guide. It has the stake box set up on the 2 in the photo. The only pickups (Express) I've seen are on the 1/2 ton KC and long wheelbase KCLs. What's the measurement of your wheelbase ,hub to hub?
