    I think it's a 1935 Ford truck. it might be a diamond reo but I'm pretty sure it's a Ford.

    Look like Tornado to me.
     
  9. Grille looks like 39 Ford truck. Body is not a truck, not with a cloth insert. Can't see enough but some type of coupe body.

    The one photo is all I have. I don't think it's a truck cab due to the insert. That would make it a 3 window something or other. Never seen that kind of firewall before either.

    I noticed Mopar bodies have deep beads in the firewall like that, but when I went and looked around at Dodge, Plymouth, Chrysler and Desoto coupes, I found the patter was still different. Looked at 35 and 36 year models. Interesting. Curious now too...
     
  14. that windshield looks like 34-35 GM, Chevy, olds pontiac. But, like everyone else, I'd need more angles to be sure.

    A new project I'm sure. Drag it home, or at least outside to get more pics.

    that "insert" looks kinda like a drip pan upside down on the roof.

    any way to confirm that it is a hole, and not "debris"?

  23. Pick-up cabbed rat rod in a garage that's going to waste; uh,,,, not that there's anything wrong with that!

    That is some sort of drip tray on the roof, you can see it's slightly skewed.
