5/24 A of the day photo

What kind of radiator shell is that in the A of the day photo today 5/24? I have never seen one like that before. Something aftermarket? It looks like it has exaggerated lines to it. Just wondering.

Looks like a special-made insert or overlay designed to install on the stock radiator shell, but not sure. I've not seen one before either. Kinda neat, though.

It looks to me like an era stone guard added to a stock '31 shell. Note the vertical bars.

Any oldtimers out there know anything about this radiator shell?

Neat fabrication work. Check out the scroll work on the fender too. Might be a reflection but it looks like surface scrolling.

Those are the early 30 "eyebrow" fenders.

Appears to have sealed beam headlights also.

I missed the eyebrow fenders. Wow! That truck is a piece of jewelry.
