I have two 1933 truck cabs, Lets call one the meat truck and the other the pickup. Both cabs were completely disassembled and all the hardware labeled and bagged. I went to put my new reproduction cowl lace on, there was a bag that said, "cowl lace" and contained a bunch of little screws. I look at the pickup cowl and there are no holes for screws, hmmm.
I look at the meat truck cowl and there is a line of holes that screws go in.
I really compare the two and notice that my pickup cowl has a raised bead, and the meat truck doesn't.
So I start looking all over the internet, and all the 33 trucks I see have a smooth area, and use screws to hold the lacing on.
Has anybody noticed this and possibly know why the pickup is different than
all the others i've seen? Maybe It's a Canadian thing?
I'm not sure the origin of the meat truck, it was a BB, but my pickup was definitely Canadian built. Also had a Canadian front axle in it, and Serial#
Here are pictures to compare.
Thanks for any input.
If anyone is interested in my '33 build, you can see it here
