I understand that Standard is 2" narrower than the Master. My Master dash is 41" wide... the Standard dash would be more narrow. I'm sure Mike will jump in.

Just looking at the cowl picture its a 1933 master only. Its the hood body line that gives it away. Very short distance. Only 1933 of the 33-34 series has this distinctive feature.
