Fleek Posted September 21, 2016 Share Posted September 21, 2016 Not a lot to work with, but I would guess a Chevy between 37 -39 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 The 37 and 38 had a one piece,flat glass windshield. This one looks like a split glass and the front of the radiator cowl is straight so I say 39 or 40. The gauges are round on the 39, rectangular on the 40.This is a 40 with the parking lights. It could also be a GMC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

30DodgePanel Posted September 22, 2016 Share Posted September 22, 2016 I think the lines are different on the Chevys/GMC's... I'd say 1936-40 Fargo has the correct lines at the door, maybe other years also Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Leif Holmberg Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 How about 1938 GMC. Leif in Sweden. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Restorer32 Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Bonnie and Clyde model. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fleek Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Dave mentioned in his post it could be either Chevy or GMC. Same basic trucks with different trim. He nailed it. Chevy - GMC 1939 -1940 with the famous GM ohv engine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheMoneyPit Posted September 23, 2016 Share Posted September 23, 2016 Not at all my thing, but I would love to see someone transform that into a rat rod... leaving the bullet holes of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I absolutely agree. But the purists on this site would be appalled if it were to go away from stock saying it would need an aggressive restoration.

The 38,like the Chevy has a flat windshield.and the radiator cowl (back edge of the grille) isn't straight. This truck is a 40 with the sealed beams and parking lights, not a 39. Thanks to 30 Dodge Panel for agreeing with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm pretty much a purist, but I would rather see something like that chopped than some of the 20-40 year old restored cars that seem to be falling victim of the torch. I'm seeing several complete chassis for sale these days and you can tell they were being bought for the bodies to make a rod of some sort. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
30DodgePanel Posted September 28, 2016 Share Posted September 28, 2016 (edited) Agree ! Not a fan at all of rat rods but these are the types of plentiful shells that should be used for that purpose. On the other hand, taking a rare bird in clean original condition and destroying it for the sake of "ratting" it is a complete joke.
