For what it is worth: Your indented firewall is a later one of 1931 issue. The earlier Fords had a flat firewall and the gasoline shut off valve was located inside above the choke rod, instead of a shut off on the outside of the firewall like yours. Looks as though you have a pick up cab build by Budd, as it has a steel top instead of a fabric covered top. Two side mounts? A bit busy for a pick up which ordinarily came with just only one spare tire on the left front fender. You exhaust manifold is built by Autolite and it is missing its top cover (plenum) that directs the hot air into the passenger compartment through the hole in the firewall located at the passenger's toes. You have a wonderful model A Ford. Congratulations.
