    Definitely a 30-31 firewall. Some type of model a doors. I think 1929. But the rear section is what I can’t figure out. The rear section is like 40” wide

    Yep. A 30-31 Ford cowl, some 28-29 Ford pickup doors, and the bustle from a 29 Whatzit.

    So I got the cab from a guy and I know it’s 1930. I got the doors from
    The same guy that said they were 1930 model a doors—> I guess they are not ? Maybe 28-29 model a.
    I then bought the back half of the body after being told it was 1930 coupe. So this is the part I’m really trying to figure out Here are more pics

    The 28-29 pickup cabs were built into the 1930 model year, so technically they could be 1930. No clue on what the rear body is from.

    1928-1929 Model A closed cab truck doors are leftover 1926-1927 Model T sedan doors.

    That's what's he's got.

    I think the tail of this thing is '29 Nash coupe. The body line that terminates past the rear fender opening, the big double-thick body line just behind the door (look how it tips up slightly right before it meets the door, does that on the OP's body as well) and the bead under the rear window (which would just end there and begin a vinyl top, OP's car wasn't cut there, you can see the old nail holes), the really tall rear panel below the trunk lid, the boxy rain gutters, the relatively long and flat panel behind what would have been the rear window. I don't see anything that doesn't line up.

    I agree with others saying it's a 30-31 A cowl, 28/29 PU doors (or 26-27 T coupe, same thing) and I think the rest is a Nash like this one, an Advanced Six model.
