Something for eLMeR, maybe (and for anybody who etc.).

If you could tell me what the truck is, I'd be delighted to open its page:

(I promised myself not to work on models made before WWII... Should I thank you for this one? ;) )
Apparently a 1936-38 Dodge panel. I'd narrow the model year to 1937-38 due to the fenders.

Does the L you proposed, truckface, stand for a 1936 model? If so, we have to find the code letters for 1937 or 1938 (T for 1939, V for 1940, W for 1941 and after).
C would be for a ½-ton panel, which mean the 116"/2.95 m wheelbase model. Does the truck have this wheelbase, or has it the 136"/3.45 m ¾/1-ton one (same 136" wheelbase may have been used for a 1½-ton model, but this would need further "investigations")?

(1937 116" "Commercial Panel" // 1938 "¾-1 Ton Panel" - No payload given for the first one, we have to assume it is lower than ¾-ton, i.e. ½-ton ;) )

⇒ 1937 Dodge Panel?
(With no "Truck" nor "Delivery" nor anything else as complement, as they were just sold as "Panels")

I just used the one from "Who Framed Roger Rabbit" as reference. Dodge Commercial Panel [LC].

As might happen when talking about 70 to 80 years old vehicles, some of the MY of these Dodge panels seems to be wrong in the IMCDb, and chassis codes were a big mess for the following Job-Rated era models (and for a lot of other trucks ;) ), so I'd prefer find some external references about this "chassis code" before saying it's the good one...
By the way, Commercial Panel should be used only if certain of a 116" wheelbase.

Step by step...
1936 fenders if Commercial Panel, 1937 if ¾-1 Ton Panel. And there was a 1½-ton panel in 1936 apparently replaced by the ¾-1 Ton model in 1937:
