How often do you see one of these? This very handsome 1936 Dodge
LC 1/2-ton pickup has been with the same family since the mid-50's
and went through a frame-off restoration in 2006. It has its
original motor along with its original cowl tag with matching frame
stamp, making for a neat piece of history as well as a beautiful
truck.
This rare example is straight and solid throughout. The frame is
rust-free, having been stripped and painted during restoration. The
body is all steel except for the running boards (the original steel
running boards are included but are well worn). Note the original
steel bed as well.
I really love the colors of this truck; the two-tone paint scheme
is very sharp. The whitewall radial tires with matching spare are a
nice touch too. There are many other neat vintage items such as the
glass headlight and taillight lenses, ram hood ornament, and Dodge
Brothers emblem. The crank-out windshield and cowl vent both work
too.
The engine is the original T23 201 cubic-inch straight six, factory
rated at 70 hp. This flathead has been completely rebuilt and runs
great with a manual choke and pushbutton start. There is also the
factory 3-speed manual transmission and 4-wheel drum brakes. The
electrical system remains 6V positive ground and has a new
reproduction wiring harness throughout.
The interior has the unique Dodge look with the center mounted
speedometer. Note the original style fuel tank with the filler neck
between the driver's legs. The bench seat has been replaced with a
more modern piece, and a set of aftermarket gauges has been mounted
under the dash. The truck has a clear title with matching VIN
(engine number). It also includes a 1936 service manual along with
original parts replaced during restoration.
There's a real beauty to trucks from this era. With all their
curves, style, and character they are far cry from today's modern
pickups. Not only does this Dodge look fantastic but all the hard
work has been done, making it ready for another 80 years of
service.
