36 dodge pickup hinges what years/models interchange? - 12/20/11 04:04 PM

Hey guys trying to locate a set of door hinges for my 36 Dodge 1/2 ton truck. Anyone who might have a set or know of a source or tell me what years/models do they interchange ? Thanks

my hollander interchange does not list the hinges, but i'm going to guess you should look at late '35 thru 38 models. the early '35 had suecide doors like the '33-34's. the 39 was a body design change, so i'm guessing the hinges "probably" won't work for ya. also, look at 3/4, 1, 1 1/2 & 2 ton variants of trucks, as they used almost identicle cabs. hopes this helps some. good luck.

Thanks.Yeah, I knew the early 35's are suicide doors,just wondering if hinges are same on Dodge sedans and coupes.

that's a good question. it's very possible as the latches are similar on the 33-early 35's. being as chrysler has been "thrifty" in their use of parts, this wouldn't suprise me. i wish i had a more detailed interchange source. just because hollander says something will, or will not fit, doesn't necessarly mean it can't be done. it may be just a very minor fitment issue that means nothing. who knows ?

Just guessing really, but I would think the 36-38 Dodge and Plymouth trucks for sure and maybe the same year Dodge and Plymouth cars.

I can get you pictures of my 37s hinges if it will help.

I am pretty sure that the truck hinges are NOT the same as the car hinges. 35-38 truck should work

if anyone would have pics, ron would be the man ! i would say you are right ron. the truck hinges look higher up&down, and the bottom hinge looks longer [in&out].
