not to be picky, but 33,34, and EARLY 35 had suicide doors. i believe mopar ron can back me up on this statement. late 35 had regular doors, and the 36 was a diferent cab altogether. i have never seen a 32 with any resemblance to the cab of the 33-35, and this is also backed up with many factory brochures and copy adds i have seen through out the years. [ 1/4 thru 2 1/2 ton trucks,panel vans and sedan deliverys]. it is possible a VERY late [titled] 32 has the suicide doors you have seen, but i would almost bet it is a 33 model year. 28-32 and [late 35] 36-up have regular doors. this applies to the 1/4 thru 2 1/2 ton trucks i have been around for the last 35-40 years.
I agree 33 was the first year for suicide doors all 32 trucks had regular doors and the dodge book I have shows that in 1935 the smaller trucks 1/2 ton up to like 1 1/2 ton(maybe 2 ton) used regular doors but the larger trucks still has suicide doors. I'm not sure on the early to late in the year thing I am sure on the small truck to large truck.
you can mate the 33-34 small truck front end(and 33 car) on to a 36-38 cab and call it a 35. 36 cabs(and the 35 I believe) had a flatter top to the windshield and the 37-38 had a slighter ark to the top of the windshield. but other than the dash I believe the cab's are almost the same Ron...
