The Dodge T, V, and W Series trucks were Chrysler's commercial workhorses from 1939 to 1947. Building on the new "Job-Rated" concept, Dodge offered a wide range of trucks tailored to specific payloads and duties. These trucks featured handsome Art Deco styling shared with Dodge's passenger cars and were powered by durable L-head inline-6 engines.
Collectors are drawn to their classic pre-war and early post-war looks, which stand apart from the more common Ford and Chevy trucks of the era. Their simple mechanicals make them relatively easy to maintain and restore. They represent a significant period in American industrial design and are a great entry point into vintage truck ownership without the high prices of some contemporaries.
Buying Tips
- Rust is the primary concern. Thoroughly check the cab floors, cab corners, running boards, and the bottom of the doors.
- Inspect the frame for cracks or poor repairs, especially if the truck was used for heavy hauling.
- The original flathead 6-cylinder is tough, but check for cracks in the block and signs of past overheating. Parts are available, but a full rebuild is costly.
- Many of these trucks have been converted from their original 6-volt electrical system to 12-volt. Assess the quality of the conversion work.
- Original trim, badges, and grille components can be very difficult to find, so a complete truck is a significant advantage.
