    Not sure if this is a 32 or 33 commercial grill. Found this at my local scrapyard and am trying to get in contact with owner to buy it. What’s everyone’s opinion on value?

    Looks pretty decent. I’d expect it to be stickered between $400 and $600

    Good to know, any idea on the year?

    32-4 truck. There are some threads that discuss the finer details of each if you go a search
    You may find it before I get a chance to.

    What else is it attached to? May be a better deal to make an offer on the whole thing.

    it’s on truck frame that had been cut off, had an a cowl and a engine that are both very rough. Has some very heavy duty axles I’ve never seen and no tires on it, so idk if it would be worth the effort to haul it home .

    That looks like a ‘30-‘31 firewall, since you say the frame and axles look odd I think it must be from a AA Ford truck. AA’s could be had in two different wheelbases, 131 1/2” and 157”, that’s the reason your frame was cut.
    I think the grille shell is a ‘33.
