Spinneyhill Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Engine number is on left front of block just below the head and above the generator. That might help. Can you photograph the oval tag and post pic? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Reg Evans Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 From the door, bedside and windshield it looks like a 35 to 38. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cutler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 Check the number on the frame rail, just in front and above the front driver side, leaf spring shackle. Looks to me like a '38, what is the large canister sitting above the master brake cylinder? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
countrytravler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 This is a 35 or 36 37 and 38 have an indentation in the middle of the fire wall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Allfour Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 (edited) After cleaning up the number more, I still come up with9239425. Possibly a later frame?

countrytravler Posted November 8, 2016 Share Posted November 8, 2016 9239 is nowhere in the vin number sector. for trucks from 1930 to 1950s. Will do further research. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted November 9, 2016 Share Posted November 9, 2016 That photo of the finished black truck looks to be a '37, unless it's a'36 with a '37 grille. '36's have the vertical side panel fins like the cars. '36 and '37 trucks share the center grille piece. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Allfour Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 Wow! Thanks for all of the help. Now I can have a starting point and figure out what I want to do with this. is this a rare truck or desireable? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted November 10, 2016 Share Posted November 10, 2016 These trucks are desirable but not overly valuable in that condition. Your truck looks to be pretty rough but may have a few good usable parts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Allfour Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Got the bed off the frame today. There is a bit more rust to the bottom of the cab than I had thought, but as expected. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Allfour Posted November 15, 2016 Share Posted November 15, 2016 Frame is straight as far as I can tell. Anyone see any value in rear axle, rear shock thingy's, trains or engine? Also I will probably be chopping off the running board brackets. Looks like I will need to finance a ratrod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
