Looks like 32-34. 35 and up the doors are rounded at the back too and the drip rail is arched/curved front to back as well!!!
 
Not many .I think the floor is mostly wood like the French 32 sedans.At least the 1/2 ton version is from the ones I have seen.

To me it looks like a 1.5 ton Panel,not the smaller version like in rockfla pic.I think MGM had one for their movie equipment.
 
Firewall separates from the cowl.33-34 is spotwelded (?) in and different in design.Look closely at the first pic he posted and you will see the tab at the base of the cowl for attaching it to the chassis. I'm waiting for pics of the dash if its there and close ups of the cowl opening.I blew up the pic.

The separate firewall is a distinction that '32s only share with Model Ts and their predecessors in the history of Ford Motor Company.
 
The wheels on the wood frame look like they came off an ox cart.

Looks to be in pretty good shape, considering.
 
Given the amount of wood in one of those bodies, it could be a really big project if much of that wood is shot.

Sort of like a Deutsch Body from 32. FORTUNATELY not having to deal with much of that. I remember years ago Dale Sandman (Rest in peace) out in California telling me off this very issue on his 35 Panel Delivery. ALSO him telling me how he used White Oak for ALL the replacement wood and just how taught and stiff the body was afterward!!!
