A friend has an "early" 32 tudor that was cut off behind the stock front seats and a wood back panel was constructed and metal tabs left from the body were bent over and nailed to the wood. He calls it "The Walton Truck"! There was a pretty nicely fabricated pickup bed made and put on the rear of the frame. This has all the early stuff that I looked at but I didn't catch the VIN. Next time I go to his house I will see what it was but he told my his grandfather bought it in April of 32. I suspect it has most of the recall stuff like bolted on K member legs etc done to it.
I think a lot of cars were converted this way after their value was gone and the person needed a pickup.
