    Hi. Not sure what it is but even if you have no need for it, it should be a great load to take to a swap meet. Looks like plenty os sheet metal panels laying around & you might even sweep the area with a metal detector for more. Bet someone would like those front fenderseith the spare tire wells in them. It appears most of the bad deteriation is the wood.
    Good luck getting it home. Jimmie

    Awesome ! Get a Gieger counter clicking and don't forget to look for large expansive craters. If it doesn't glow in the dark, take it home !! Sweet find.

  12. You got something to work with there.
    Last year we found a 20's Whippet cowl down in the woods about a mile from here. Near the Cimarron River. Drug it home and here it sits...
    We knew it was not Ford and thanks to the HAMB we figured out what it was.
    I say bring your treasure home...

    ***uming I had permission from whoever owns the property (and by extension owns this car) yes, I would grab that and bring it home in a heartbeat. The dash is very pretty.

    That right rear fender looks like a 26-27 T Touring/Sedan fender, unless that is a long dent along the edge. Bring it all home! Bob

    Thanks alot people I went out and got the cowl parts today.. And let me tell you it was no easy task. I had to pack it, drag it and curse for about a 1/4 mile through sage brush, cactus, up and down washes , over railroad tracks and then muster enough strenght to lift it into the back of the truck.. Wow... I will get the lighter fenders next trip.. It is in suprisingly good shape and well worth my efforts. Fairly certain it is a pickup. Still has the br*** fisher body tag on it..

    Glad to hear, now get on back there and get the rest before someone else does, take a buddy or two, to help when you go back, and get it all.

    They look Chevy, to me. It looks like a dent and the other fender does not have the indentation.

    I guess the reason I can't find a treasure like that, I don't live near a desert :(:confused:o_O

    All the aggravation will pay off in the future when you make something out of it or sell it to someone that will. HRP

    Going by the firewall depression and shape at toeboard and pressings, I'd say it's 32 Chevy. Here is a 32 Chevy roadster firewall, very similar to my 35 Chevy.
