Never have seen anything other than Fords on the show.

The inside back area is full keys & knife/scissors sharpening equipment and the rear seat is on the porch  I thought the air scoop on the driver's side of "cab" was still used until 1950? Did ole boy look and sound like a scammer? That is a neat old rig though. There was two handymen in the show. The 1st one was the scammer.

A '49 through '50 would have had 3100, or 3600 under the hood side CHEVROLET badge.
