Is it correct that the cowl on this pick up ran for a number of years but on the later ones the hood sat on the high ridge but utilizing the same fire wall .Thanks .

Yes, that cowl was used from 1915 to 1923. The brass radiator and boxey hood was '15 and '16. A higher radiator with a steel shell was used til '23 and then a taller hood and cowl was used til '25.

Early 1915. i think you mean to ask if they use the same firewall & cowl with a different hood? Maybe, judging from how many 1915 replicas are made from 1917-22 bodies.

Firewall 1915-16

Firewall with starter 1918-1923

Early 1917 still had this peice

!915 and '16 used a hood former like the rusty one shown that covered the wood dash. The later hood fits around the dash. The last photo above shows the hood former used on '12 to '14 cars and similar to '09 and '10.

The car is an early 1915 roadster (headlights fork mounted) with a home made pickup bed. It has some desirable accessories: under the axle front brace, external large drum rear brakes. Being RHD I gather it was made for export. That could mean it's Canadian made for use in Australia or New Zealand, or it could have been made in Britain for use there.

Thank you all

What years and what size wheels did each model change ..1913 had 30 "with wood fellows ? . This is progress for the roadster .Here's a Bedford Hood much like a chev marked out for cutting for the Roadster seat /side panel

That car would have had 30 X 3 front wheels and 30 X 3 1/2 rear wheels.

 

[stevests]

Canadian manufacture would have 30 x 3.5 on all four.
