What truck is this?

<< < (2/3) > >>

'37-39 Studebaker Coupe Express is very close. I haven't yet found one with a cowl vent but the basic lines are very close & the dash is spot on. Since the windshield cranks out the split would be in the in the frame. Can't see the molding lines on door well. Some links.

Forgot about Hundsons, but they always looked like an Austrailian Ute or homemade from a cut off sedan. Their rear roof has a sharp bend and the upper rear of the door is more of a 90° sedan door.

Still looks more Studebaker to me, just can't dial in the exact year or model. Lots of little changes from late 30s thru 40s on those.

 Being snowbound I've had time to search all US brands I can think of as well a Volvo, Russian, British/English, French, Italian, European and the Studebaker Coupe express comes the closest except for the rear window. Could they have done them differently in Europe? Did Studebaker make cars there or only export. I saw a lot of obvious near copies of GM, Ford, & International. I saw a lot of really cool trucks that I never knew existed of all sizes and shapes.

More pictures showing a full side view, bottom of doors & rockers if any. I think the hood hinge or spring mount may help identify it. Did you get or see any other parts when you bought it? Are there any tags to ID numbers any where? Firewall, door jamb?

Man....I'm about to say "Uncle" on this one. Getting cross-eyed and a headache looking at truck cabs. Packard, Hudson, Diamond Reo, Reo Speedwagon, White. Got confusing on German and Russian.

Read up some on Studebaker sites, i got more confused. All i could find for overseas was that Austrailia just assembled Studebaker with RH drive down there, i think😁
Spotted a lot, i mean a lot of different Stude truck dashes and several (3?) different back glasses. Then i couldn't remember which ones went where🙃

EDNY:
Too bad it's not a REO...still have this hood ;D
