I came accross this sheet metal, and was wondering if the experts could clue me into what it's from. I know there is very little left and it may be hard to I.D. but can anyone tell for sure?
the coil mount and the flat firewall remind me of my buddy's '34 international pickup, but that piece of tin is probably older...
VERY TRUE. Did anyone notice the newer electrical pull through 4x4 condut box on the inside of the firewall...????
I donno, let me see what I can find for a late 20s or early 30 title...then I will tell you what the tin is for.... Gene
that dimple at the top of the cowl by the windshield mount reminds me of dodge and plymouth, as does the narrow firewall...I'm looking into Dodge Bros. pics from the late 20's/early 30's right now, I'll let ya know what I come up with
I would say it is 1 ton truck, as it looks rather large for passenger car sheetmetal. I would agree with the International. I would guess around 33 or so.
Maybe I'm wrong, but it looks like a spare tire well on the right fender in the second picture. Did trucks use that, or just cars?
My 35 International has a passenger side wheel-well but it also has a cowl vent (I think 34-36 had the same cab). My firewall does not have the large indentation or the quad-box that you see in the rear photo.
