is this a 31 chevy pickup?

I bought this truck a few days ago he said it was a 1931 chevy 1 1/2 ton is that true? the body lines and gauges are not the same as other 31 pics I have seen. Thanks

 

It is probably a 1930 model. From my research here (http://www.stovebolt.com/gallery18-35.htm), the 1931 cab would have had rounded corners. The 1930 dash seems to match your as well.

The dash is from a '29. You've got a downdraft carb--first available in '32, so...It looks like a happy mix. Have fun!

 

Mix mash , I reckon dash gauges are 27-28, everything forward of cowl is 29-30 and from screen back is mare like 27-8. Still gonna be lots of fun

it has a downdraft carb and a 4 speed trans its to bad the starter is in a box with a dead short I would have liked to see it run before I pull it apart and put in a small block.

what is the alcohol gauge for?

 

Here is my '32 with a '31 front bumper. the pickup cab was just the first part of the body section. This may help you. This is an original car and my family were the purchasers.

Tells you when to stop drinking so you know what you are buying........

 

Not sure, but I do know it would look great in my garage

Have fun with the build.

 

Looks like it was well preserved, nice truck!
