Just posted on the other pic of this truck and a 32 that it looked like a sedan made into a truck as was often done in WWII.Cabs on real 28/29 Ford trucks look taller.last two years 30/31 Model A trucks looked more like the cars in cab hight.
During WWII gas rationing was the norm. If you had a truck, you got more gas tickets. Lots of guys made their own trucks. Very cool part of American history.
