I have never seen a early 30s type rear fender that has the line of fender bolts right in the center, all the way down to the tail.


Could it be for a woody wagon?

[DE SOTO]

I Dunno ......... Thats why I Posted it ... I have No Idea !

[Fleek]

I do not know either, but maybe the holes are for mounting a chrome trim strip or other decoration. If so, then it is likely for a more expensive car.

And no taillamp mounting holes, so you may be correct about the woody idea.

I thought the same exact thing...a long fancy diecast taillight base...but, the thing that says not, is that the holes are oval, just like the fender bolt holes. I thought it would be unnecessary for oval(adjustable) holes for a taillight stand?

I keep thinking it might not be a woody, because I doubt a woody has body sides that could possibly go that far down? Has anyone seen a wood body that went all the way down like that?

[Dave Mellor NJ]

I thought maybe a bus or a step van

[keiser31]

Perhaps for something along these lines.....or maybe Cadillac?? I can't imagine only one mounting hole for a taillight. Maybe it's for a right-hand drive car??

[DE SOTO]

That Cadillac Sweeps back a bit More .... I would lean to the Woody or Panel of some sort.

I browsed some Woody pics & saw one that the body came way down & under but the Fender didnt match Mine.

I had a Member Here contact Me and want to buy it ..... But he wouldnt tell me what it is, Kinda Dissappeared when & asked what it fit.

[drwatson]

Maybe? This 1936 Chevrolet Carryall rear fender has good points including picking up the rear bolt hole.

[F&J]

drwatson should get a finders fee from DE SOTO ...I think he nailed it. Look at the detail at the running board mount also, it looks like a match?

If it is for those very rare early suburbans, it must have a very good value in that condition, as most originals would be smashed as work trucks.

[keiser31]

Looks like a match, to me. I figured it was a GM part.

[Steve Braverman]

The Suburban/Carry-all body is basically the same as the much more common panel truck, and maybe the canopy delivery.

[DE SOTO]

We figured it to be GM also ... Just WHAT GM we had no idea.

Knowing what it is & that its for such a Rare truck Is Great ... Only thing is when things are this rare its a Very hard Sell.

And sometimes no one will pay RARE Price for them ....

Maybe DRWATSON can message me his address info & we'll see what it brings & IF I can get a goood price I can get him a few Bucks on top !

DE SOTO, Thank you for the generous offer but if you sell it on ebay they'll be taking the bonus.
I tried looking for your fender part # but see there are two numbers to think about. The good news is it was used three years: 1934, 35 36. I attached a list highlighting 373269 for 1/2 ton like the CarryAll and 373293 for 1-1/2 Ton. Parts book says: "attaching holes at center". If yours has all holes in a straight ctr line, maybe it's for 1-1/2 Ton. (less rare?). Thanks again on offer, Jim
