Wow, not much there. What's left looks like a 1939 to 1947 Dodge or Fargo truck. If you're in Canada or other export market, it will be a Fargo. If you're in the U.S. it will be a Dodge, or possibly Plymouth truck. Does it have a rear axle? I can't tell by the pictures how many lug nuts it has or how big the brakes are.
The engine number might give you a year, but those got changed and rebuilt a lot if it is a prewar truck. If you can find any metal plates, that will give you a clue but it's been cut and stripped pretty heavily.

Yeah most of it might be scrap but it still has a full frame front and rear axles and motor w/trans and motor still turns over by the way I am in the US and it definitely is a dodge. Still looking for any identification plates and or numbers though.
Chrysler used that nose from 1939 through 1947. 1948 saw the Pilot House cabs come in. Now, the cab was used on the M series Power Wagons through 1968 in the U.S. and 1971 or '72 for export. Dodge advertised it as a 3 man cab, but when I had my '52 B-3-PW, my brother-in-law and I were elbow to elbow.

Thank you very much. And even though we are pretty sure that it's original not reproduced we can't be 100% sure. Is there a way to tell
I'm surprised the engine isn't locked up. The engine will have a number on it. If it's the original, you can ell when the engine was made. The truck would be a little newer than that. However, the flathead six was used up to around 1960. A newer engine could have been swapped in at some time. During WW2, a lot of really worn equipment got rebuilt because new equipment wasn't available. Back in the early 1970's, I drove a 1936 Chevy COE from time to time. I was the "new" guy so I got put in it. I was also one of the few who could drive it.
