I just posted this for my dad here on the cars for sale as a 32 chevy pickup. A fellow hamber brought up that this pickup is not a 32, He beleives it might be a 36. I googled 36 Chevy pickups and the roofs seemed a lot shorter. I googled 32 and the body style looked a little different. Anyone out there knows what this might be? The title says 32 Chevy pickup. Any help. Thanks Heres a pic of the back
Definately not a '32 from what I can see in my book, grille and hood are '36 for sure. Best bet would be to run the serial number - the second symbol, a letter, is the year code, B=32, C=33, D=34, E=35, F=36 - (some plants did use a two-digit plant code, which is what the the first symbol, a number, means)
The body style changed in 36 to the rounded steel cab; this is the 34-early 36 cab. Remember that the VIN may have been the engine number, so be aware that there may not be an identifialbe VIN on the truck.
32 had hood louvers that opened on the hood sides if I recall **edit** they were traditional styled louvers, vertical
Serial was on a tag on the dash per this book. Sometimes when they say that, it can actually be on the cowl someplace. GMs usually have a body tag on them, too, that may have a year on it.
Hood is '36. If the doors are metal framed(not wood) it is a '36 high roof cab. Should have a tag on the firewall (passenger side).
Entirely different to a 32 which look like 30 or 31's and 33's which looked like 32's. because it has a 1934 Look ,It is a 1935 through to 1937. Dodgy paper work or a mistake at initial registration which has never been rectified.
35-36 but dont remember if they had a square back window.. this is a shot of the rear cab of a 37 , i didnt think the cabs were all that different 35-38 but i have been wrong before..
35 36 chevy high cab... chevy had 2 diff cabs, a low cab and a high cab, is not a 32. does it have wood in doors??? if so 35 if not 36. nice old chevy truck .
The chevy truck for 36 had a early version like yours. And a late version that was the model that the 37 would be styled after. The rounded style or the late style was still loaded with wood through 36. But a few 37 cabs slipped through late in production in late 36. And these were mostly steel. But in answer to your question. My best guess would be early 1936. Here is a couple pics of a late 36. A truck like that with no paper work??? ghost
it's a 36 for sure. only the early 36 models had rounded lower corners on the windshield frame. those hoodsides were also only used on trucks in the 36 model year

Actually, I think it's a 34 or 35? It could be an early 36? The changed the body style middle of the year (36). The later 36 would be what's called a low cab. It looks as though it's been chopped. Russ Sweet
Early series 36. 35 had vertically louvered hood and skirtless fenders. 36 hrizontal louvers(like yours) skirted fenders. It is not chopped. The bed does look shortened though. Also those rear fenders are not original. They look like model A fenders.
