The AACA library has a few car manuals for 1932 of which you can get copies. Go to AACA website, then to library, then click on "online catalog." Search 1932 Dodge and there is a list of all the manuals for '32. Or call them and request a copy with a credit card. It will be mailed to you.

Paul, I went to the AACA library today. They have three different Books of Information for 6 cylinder DB cars for '31-'32. One is Aug.31 DH for cars after 3,542,875. One is Jan. '32 DL, for cars after 3,561,489 and the other is Feb.'32 DL. These manuals would be what came in the car as an owner's manual, has all tuneup specs, wiring diagrams, controls, etc. You want the manual printed JUST before your car was built. With a book being printed in both Jan. and Feb. there most have been significant changes to warrant a new manual. There was also a manual for 8 cylinder cars from Feb. '32. Copies of any of them would cost about 10 dollars.

In my searching at AACA library today I found literature for a 1932 DB with a four cylinder engine. There was a brochure and advertisement. Turns out DB used the four cylinder Plymouth engine in Canadian built DBs for export use. I've never seen reference of them before. You don't have one of those do you Paul? There was only 16 of them built.

Is this your engine, Paul ? See the 6 cylinder on the right side.

Some can post it later tonight but you can also go to the club store and buy a copy of the “official guide to Dodge and Graham Brothers trucks through 1938”. It’s around$10 and it has your truck in one of the articles info submitted by previous owner that I’m sure you’ll recognize. Also keep your eye out for sales brochures. They aren’t terribly informative but neat to own for your specific vehicle. You will want the $10 book at the club store...

After David posted about it I had to look. I had met Carl many years ago at Hershey but had never seen the woodie. I don't think you will see too many others like it.

I have been searching for a while and haven't yet. I am looking for some images to get some restoration done. If you know of any I would appreciate it. I am looking for a side mirror that mounts on the windshield column, fuel sending unit and the radiator cap/ornament. Any help would be appreciated.
