Vehicle Description
1936 Dodge LE31 Truck - Ever since the beginning of its history in
1914, Dodge has offered light truck models. For the first few
years, these were based largely on the existing passenger cars, but
eventually gained their own chassis and body designs as the market
matured. Light- and medium-duty models were offered first, then a
heavy-duty range was added during the 1930s and 1940s. The Warren
Truck Assembly plant in Michigan, just north of Detroit, was opened
in 1938, and Dodge trucks have been made there ever since. Dodge
made 6 different 1 1/2-ton models in 1936, with GVw ratings from
9,500 lbs. to 13,500 lbs. and engines ranging from 201 cu. in (70
hp) to 242 cu. in (85 hp). The LE model was the lightest of these,
barely larger than a typical 1-ton. This beautiful classic Dodge is
ready for all occasions! Whether you collect classics, need a great
truck for local car shows, rent cars to movie sets or wedding
venues, need a unique mobile billboard for your business, or just
want something cool to cruise the kids/grandkids around the
property in ... this is your truck! This Dodge LE31 was treated to
a recent cosmetic restoration and shows very well. The glossy blue
and black paint is accented nicely with cream bumpers, grill and
rims. The interior was repainted at the same time as the exterior
and the original seats were recovered in black vinyl with blue
piping. The glass and chrome are all in great shape. All 6 tires
have plenty of tread but they do show some dry rot on the sides.
The bed is made up of wood slats as are the removable stake bed
sides. It is well known that a classic vehicle with its original
engine (aka "numbers matching") is always a tier higher in
collectibility and value. Not only does this 82 year old classic
feature its original engine but even the starter and alternator are
present and working perfectly. We recently tuned the carburetor and
this truck now starts, drives, and shifts great. This is a great
classic for any collection and is priced to sell! Additional photos
