Title: mid 30's tech data coupe doors vs sedan doors
Post by: 36ply4dr on November 12, 2008, 01:12:25 PM
Can anyone direct me to a resource for mid 30's chrysler dodge, plymouth desoto technical data such as door length and overall chassis dimensions.

Specifically are dodge and plymouth doors interchangeable in 1936?  would a 1935 dodge 2dr sedan door fit a 36 plymouth 4dr sedan? are the 2dr sedan doors on dodges and plymouths the same length as the coupes?

What is the length of a 2dr sedan door, a coupe door and a 4dr sedan door? (1935--37?)

what about Desoto? 

would coupe bodies fit on a 2dr, 4dr sedan chassis? or are the sedan chassis longer?

Good to see the reference to my web site. :)
But unfortunately I don't have that information so it is not posted there... :(

The original '36  Ply.parts list shows 3 different part no's for the coupe,2 door and 4 door, with subset numbers depending on finish, primed , etc. Unfortunately there are no dimensions given . The 2 door sedan door width is about 40 1/4" at the upper hinge belt line for example.
Hope this helps.

Does anyone have a 1936 Ross Roy Data book?  That should give the door dimensions - at least some of the earlier data books gave that info.  The 1936-42 service manual has all the frame dimensions.  I thought I had a '36 data book but find that I don't (or I couldn't find it, anyway!).
