Yes the pictures come up, so you've learned how to post....big difference in value of this shell, and the 32 shell you mentioned....this shell, maybe $100, a '32 shell, ten times that...good luck with your endeavor....

sparksoftempest,

Welcome to the AACA Discussion Forum. If you need help identifying parts, there is a "What is it" forum that you will find a little bit lower on the page here. If you trying to sell something, there is a Buy/Sell Forum also a little bit lower on the page here. Be sure to check out the Buy/Sell Forum rules before you start listing items for sale. When attempting to sell anything online, it is important to identify what you have and do some market research on value before attempting to sell. The forum rules require you to state a price in your ad. If you are a hobbyist attempting to help other hobbyists the forum is one of the best places to sell antique car parts. Another good alternative if you are just attempting to get top dollar is to list items on Ebay. Ebay probably gets you the largest exposure to potential buyers that you can get. Here on the forum, or on Ebay or elsewhere, highly detailed descriptions, detailed quality photographs without distracting backgrounds typically help increase your success when selling online.

Also required to post one item at a time to have identified so we don't confuse the issues/parts.

There seems to be plenty of people using this forum to identify parts that they then intend to sell. Forum members seem to enjoy trying to identify the parts and don't get too annoyed by the profit angle.

My general comment to friends with business ideas is to "Do what you know". It is generally hard to jump into something you know nothing about and make any money at it. There are many many forum members who are experts on particular cars & parts yet they lose lots of money on the hobby. Buying and selling can be profitable but it is not easy money. That said, I wish you luck.

You asked if that shell is the same as the AA trucks. The answer is no. While the '30 pickups used the same type of shell, the AA shells are a little deeper to accomodate a thicker radiator and they did not have the widow's peak.
