    Looks like early 30's chevy. Does it have wood framing?

    Looks like a gm, chevy comes to mind, has the same dash as my step-dad's 31 chevy and the indent in the firewall for a straight six.

    those year chevy truck cowls are hard to pin down , my `31 chevy 1/2 ton doesn`t have a cowl vent , might be a `32
     
  11. If it's a Chevy, it should have a tag on the upper firewall with model year and serial number, or at least evidence that a tag was there before someone removed it. I remember the remains of a '24 Chevy touring car at Arthur Richmond's place near Dalton GA that was readily identifiable by the firewall tag although not much was left of the car other than a cowl and frame and running gear that had been exposed to the weather for many decades. Some years back I looked at the remains of a '25 Chevy fire truck that also had the identifiying tag on the firewall.
     
  12. It's definitely a chevy truck.....I'm going with '33 -'35.......

    It is Chevy, my 32 Chevrolet cowl looks just like that. The same drain for the vent and the concave piece in the center for the hood hinge

    I have a 33 Chevrolet and the cowl looks just like that , only my windshield frame is not the same as this one. But the cowl is the same. yeah lowcab..my dash has a wider raised upper with two dropdowns.

    Not a Chevy passenger model. The arch over the gauges goes farther to each side on Chevy. Pickup I cant say.

    32 Chevy truck cowl has a curved reveal at the bottom edge of the cowl also. 31 maybe.
