frame identification
 

i have been going in circles with my 1931? pickup trying to assemble it. i wonder what frame and cowl i have. the frame # is...a4028048. i have found engine number references but no id for frames as to what year and body style it was originally. i suspect the cowl i have is not going to match up with the all steel bud cab top.

Re: frame identification
 

The number of the original engine installed at the factory was stamped
on the frame.

my engine # tells me it is 1930, but not for sure the original engine. there is no tag on the cowl. according to the vendor catalogs the 30/31 pickups and tudor share a lot of the same components. the header i have doesn't fit the angle above the windshield and everything is 1/4" high. I have talked to the guys at classic wood and i have the right header. is there any way to know what cowl i have? i was hoping the frame # would clue me as to what year and body style the cowl is from.

The frame # will correlate to when the engine that was originally in the vehicle was stamped. There was no cross reference between what frame went with what body style.
