    Hello fellow Hambers,

    I've got an old chevy front grille that I'm not sure what year or type of vehicle it came off of, so any help in identifying it would be great.

    Also, I've got an old International farm truck that my grandpa took apart to build a trailer using the frame. Thankfully, he put the cab, hood, grille, and engine in a shed. The fenders are outside, but are still in good shape. Attached is a bad pic of the cab (there wasn't much room in the shed, and I didn't want to spend half a day moving it out to where I could get a better look at it.) and two pics of the plate on the fender. It reads:

    Model: A2 - 160W? - 1 1/2 TON
    Chassis No.: A2 - 10762
    Chassis: 3192

    I haven't had much luck finding anything about old IH trucks. I assume it's late 20s early 30s. Has anyone used an old truck like this as a platform for a hot rod? It's a very square cab, but it could be a neat build. Thoughts?

    Thanks! That's good to know. Not sure where it came from, since I don't remember my grandpa ever talking about having a '33 Chevy.
