Truck Cab ID Question-- Ford or Chevy? Dodge?

[YoungBlood]

I was looking through the for sale section when I saw RODMAN58's 38 Ford truck for sale, and I noticed a remarkable resemblence to what I thought was my 39 Chevy truck cab.

The body lines are different, but what set me off to thinking was the firewall on RODMAN's 38 Ford is IDENTICAL to mine (the flat-style that angles down a bit, with battery tray on passenger side). I thought my cab was a Chevy, but I have a 40's Chevy cab at the house too, that has a much different firewall.

Is Ford the only company that makes this firewall? Does Chevy? Does Dodge?

Thanks for your help in advance,
YoungBlood

Thanks Bonehead. My truck has similar body lines, but it has the exact same firewall as RODMAN's Ford.

Its looks like an early 40's Mercury truck.Dont know the exact year,But they did have that style belt line.If it is a Merc. Thats a real cool cab to have.Merc trucks were only produced for Canada only.The more I look at it.Now its got to be no earlier than 1939.The head lights were the last year for fender mounting.

Was there a certain Ford year pick up that had similar Chevy lines? Or vise versa?

I'm still trying to figure out why it looks like a 39 Chevy, but has that Ford-style firewall.

Someone please help. Inexperienced hot rodder here.

It's a Ford. 1938 or 1939 Standard (not Deluxe). 1939 standard shown below.

I will get some pics of my cab up this weekend so someone can hopefully tell me exactly what cab I have.

Post away but I would go with what Gastrick says!

 

[Gastrick]

Oh I see. I thought that pic you posted was of your truck. You posted a pic of RODMAN'S truck. Post a pick of your truck and we'll see what we can do.

The 3 ribs at the belt line means it a 1938 - 39 ford.

The 3 ribs at the belt line means it a 1938 - 39 ford. I owned 4 of them.

This is my 35 ford cab,different belt line.

 

[Gastrick]

YoungBlood, You have a 37 Ford cab provided that the windshield is correct. 1937 had a split windshield. 35 and 36 did not.

 

[YoungBlood]

By God Gastrick, I think you're right. That is it, it has to be. The windshield is correct, and the belt line and doors look exact.

Right on! Thanks Gastrick.
