34 sedan delivery bumper

[Chris Marshall]

Did the 33/34 sedan deliveries have the "step in" rear bumper? I know 32's had it and the 35/36's have it, but I can't find any photos showing a step in rear bumper on the 33/34. Picture of my 34 sedan delivery for comparison. It obviously does not have the step in style bumper.

I had one many years ago and it had a passenger car rear bumper.

1936 was the first year Ford equipped the sedan delivery with the indented rear bumper to make it easier to load and unload.
This is according to Lorin Sorenson's book, THE COMMERCIAL FORDS, page 129.

The 1932 Sedan Delivery used a walk-in rear bumper. Original Ford blueprints can be found.

1932 attached. As Kube expertly pointed out, the "indented" step in bumper didn't "RE" appear until 1936. 1933, 34 and 35 used the same as the front bumper.

I'm sure not here to argue something I know little about. I only know what I had read in Sorenson's book.

Appreciate all the input. I had a 36 SD with the step in bumper so assumed 35 had them also. We all know where assuming gets us... Good to know I don't have to go chasing down a rare rear bumper for the 34.
