Brent 08-19-2007 19:07:32 161.184.17.172 26766 Report to Moderator	I own a 1950's dodge pick-up & I am having a hard time trying to figure out exactly what year it is. For years we thought it was a '52, but after seeing pics of others it is obviously not. Has the same cab,grill & box, but has the larger rear fenders.Also the ser. number & model number do not match anything I have found. The truck is all original,paint,motor etc. right down to the seat. The truck was built in Windsor Ontario. Serial # is 90107786 model #DH1-08. In my search this model number does not exsist. Any help would be greatly appreiciated. THANX [Reply]  [Send Email]

Dodge pick-up in reply to Brent, 08-19-2007 19:07:32   It probably is a "late" '53 which has those "Ford" looking rear fenders. It is actually a '54 fender, but was used late '53 until '85, the last year you could order a "Uteline" (stepside) box from the factory. This is the way it went in Canada.

That is what the 08 means. The serial number range for 1953 is 90103501-90108719. Hope this helps! Tim   [Reply]  [Send Email]

If nothing definite turns up here try dodgetrucks.org; if they don't have Canadian info they'll know who does. Good luck.   [Reply]  [Send Email]
