1931 Chevy CL Find
Ok, technically, this isn't a heavy hauler. It sure looks like one though. It's only a one ton. This thing is sweet though. I really don't like when the seller calls it a rat rod though. That usually means that it is missing parts

Re: 1931 Chevy CL Find
Gas tank for a seat! I think it is missing the radiator cover. I don't even think they had grills, just metal surrounding the outside of the radiator. It looks like a wider than factory radiator. That's probably why the hood isn't on it.

Re: 1931 Chevy CL Find
Looks like the lines on the doors don't match the cab, judging by this picture:

This would be a good truck for parts though if it is not worth restoring. Bill

Re: 1931 Chevy CL Find
Doors don't line up because it most likely needs the wood in the cap re[placed.

Re: 1931 Chevy CL Find
Those do not ratrod very well. there are LOTS of little tiny nails that hold the sheet metal to the wood.
My dad restored a 1930 Chevrolet 2 door Coach and it was A LOT of work getting the wood and metal to play nice. He makes and sells parts for them now since when he bought his car there was no one who made and/or sold parts for them other than Chinese or one off parts. www.stanleysparts.net Oh and trucks were the bastard child for GM, few were sold compared to cars back then, so many had the year before parts on them from cars or trucks. The grill should have a grill surround around the radiator, usually painted body color, most now are chrome and originals are extremely hard to find. I love these old old trucks and cars! they are not for the faint at heart though, they need tweaking often. Good luck!
