1934 Dodge Pickup 2-Ton HC Series

For 1933 Dodge Brothers sold several series of trucks in a variety of wheelbases and ratings capacity up to 2-tons. These were divided into "Standard" and "Heavy-Duty" lines with the Standards powered by fours and sixes and the Heavy-Dutys by sixes.

The all-new trucks borrowed heavily from the styling of the car line and were dubbed "The Glamour Series." This pickup illustrates the deliberate choice to give the new trucks attractive, car-like qualities and styling - a precursor of a modern trend - as opposed to the old prectice of using functional commercial styling - mounting a simple cab and pickup bed on a car chassis.
