Dodge entered the truck market in 1917, initially offering a commercial car built on its existing passenger car chassis. These early vehicles were often sold as a bare chassis and cowl, allowing customers or third-party coachbuilders to add custom bodies. In 1921, Dodge formalized a partnership with Graham Brothers, who built truck bodies and eventually sold their entire operation to Dodge in 1926. This acquisition solidified Dodge's position as a major truck manufacturer before the Chrysler Corporation purchase in 1928.
Buying Tips
- Inspect the frame and body carefully for rust and past repairs. These were work vehicles, and many led hard lives, so finding a solid, straight example is paramount.
- Verify the originality of the drivetrain. Many have been modified over the last century. A period-correct 4-cylinder engine adds significant value compared to a later, non-original powerplant.
- Check the condition of all wood components. The cab structure, bed floor, and stakes were often made of wood, which is prone to rot. Replacing it correctly is a specialized and expensive job.
- Assess the completeness of the truck. Small, model-specific parts like gauges, lights, and trim pieces are extremely difficult to find, and a complete vehicle will save a lot of time and money in the long run.
