Hey guys I just picked up this Chevy 4 door sedan body and doors. Its surprisingly straight with very little serious rust. Of course 90 percent of it is gone! No floors or firewall.

So the question is what do I have here? The guy I got it from thought it was a 33 which I think he is wrong. My guess by the rear window shape is 31 or 32? Can anyone here ID this thing to a specific year? Thanks, M.T.

Just a gut feeling that it is a 1933 Master body. I really should know because I restored a 33 Master 4-door but not positive.

Still have a very good original Master Eagle radiator cap and a 1934 metal spare tire cover with locking 33 hubcap.Some 33 Headlights and not mint horns.
Sorry I can't be positive. The rear window and double belt revel sure looks 33.

It's a 31 the 32 doesn't have the sunvisor.

**Metaltwister** · 05-26-2012, 07:29 PM

Yes it does have a visor... just haven't picked it up yet.

I'm thinking a 31 because it doesn't have a cowl vent. The windshield on the 31 rolled up for ventilation.

Btw I have a firewall that has been all cleaned up for it.

After looking through Google Im thinking it is a 31. Im not sure what Im even going to do with it yet. But a fire wall and floor might Be a good start. I usually just build the firewall but a stocker might be nice for a change...

It's a 31. The original floor was wood framed.

Thanks guys, at least I know where to start now.

for those who are wondering about the windshield thing...this is a 32, notice it's completely different above the windshield

**Metaltwister** · 05-26-2012, 09:19 PM

Yeah, a big difference.
