The PO of my panel truck tampered with the firewall a bit, drilling a few extra holes and making some other cuts, etc. I would like to bring the firewall back to original, so a couple pictures would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance to anyone who can help.

I have a '38 coupe & believe the truck and car firewalls were similar if not identical. It might be easier if you post pics of the areas that concern you. I or someone else can then take a pic of that area and send it to you. I have a few pics that show parts of the firewall but I haven't taken pics with showing that area specifically. I did find this one that may be of assistance.

Tiny, I have an original 38 coupe as well, but I am not certain that the car and the truck firewall are the same. In addition, I have a 37 1/2 ton but it looks to me like a few changes had been made on it before I got it.
Thanks again,

Thanks for that link--there are several good views of the firewall.
I appreciate it very much.
