IMO to make it look right the back half of the rear door needs to be welded shut and the new door end about half way back on the now back door. Only shortening the car about 14"-18".

I think you're stuck with '35 and/or '36. ('34 and earlier are entirely different.
).

I'd like to argue with Dr. Crank, ..... but how do you argue when he's right all of time? This car is not a '33 or '34, so it has to be '35 or '36.
A lot of us on this site get our fun out of building things, and it looks like you'll get a whole lot of fun out of this hotrod fetus. Keep on tinkering.

Well I have about 7 other cabs or whole cars that I can build other then this one. But I really want a family cruiser. So I'm not sure if a truck is practical or not. Who knows what I will build. If someone offers me some money they will own this one lol.

A truck is impractical as a family hauler. Unless, of course, it is a panel !!!

Oh, you KNOW how well that would go over. LOL I guess it depends on the woman and the kids, but in general ... Nope!

This is exactly what I would like to do but my skill level may not be up to the task of making some doors. The next time I'm around the body I will inspect it a little better. I will see how big of a task it will be to recreate the belt line and get a idea of how the rear doors are made to see if I can copy the build method.

I looked at the body briefly today. The body lines don't appear to be to complicated. I may try to reproduce them on a small piece of scrap first and see how it goes.
And I saw the serial number. Maybe one of are awesome members can decode it?

21: Your serial # shows as 1935 Dodge - model code DU.
If you have a firewall tag, it could be more specific. (I haven't found a decode for firewall tags but I'll look until I lose interest... or my patience, whichever comes first.)
