Was 31 the only year for a steel cab pickup? I live in the Pacific NW, mild climate. I would be tempted to drive one as my daily driver year round.

Re: Late 1931 steel cab - wide bed 82 B
My widebed is an 'early', late '31. It has all the late features except the top is still fabric. It's a high-dollar truck, I paid $150 for it, in 1958! A friend has one that was made in '32, and is registered as a '32.

Re: Late 1931 steel cab - wide bed 82 B
There's one like yours about 20 miles from me.Fellow bought it about the same time you did too.Indented firewall,April or May,wide bed,June,and fabric top,so it's before August.Really kind of a 2 month truck,give or take a little bit.His has a shiny radiator shell on it too,but he said he put that on when he bought the truck in the mid 50's.

The "late" '31 Pickup could have:
• Fabric top or Steel top • Flat or indented firewall • Narrow or wide bed Or any combination of these 3 attributes Mine has the Steel top, Indented firewall & Narrow bed
