1932 Ford frame serial number question.

Working on the frame for my three window project I'm looking at the serial number located by the firewall to try and read it overall I can make out a lot of it. The condition of front star is barely visible I can see a few of the tips of the star shape then next in line it appears to be the letter T. The remaining numbers with the last two being 18 and then a star can be made out.
My question is would there be a T at the beginning?

C for Canadian-made engines, but no T.. U.S.-produced (Dearborn) V8 numbers began with an 18. Those were the only sources of V8 engines in 1932
 
Any numbers of top further back on the rail?


Unfortunately the entire top of the frame from the second body mounting hole going to the rear cross member has a lot of heavy pitting. I have not been able to locate anything in the other two areas where a number would have been located. What I'm thinking is what I thought might have been a letter is actually the number one. Then the second digit which is hard to read as well what I can see I thought was a 5 should be an 8 would make sense. I know the car was a Deluxe 3 window with a V-8 unfortunately the original running frame was sold off back around 1984. Now 40 years latter the entire car all apart minus the original frame but with a bare frame that came with it is now in my care so there's still some mystery to figure out.
