The only Chevrolet "stone guard" was used in the 1931 model year. 1932 was the first year for a "radiator grille" to be used as part of the radiator shell so a "stone guard" was not needed.

There was a metal plate on the stone guard at the top for the attachment of the Chevrolet emblem. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

However, the stoneguard was an accessory for other models so it could be installed by the dealer when purchased by the customer. The Mangy Old Mutt "If It's Not Junk.....It's Not Treasure!"

As JYD wrote it was an accessory so could have been dealer installed. It is not likely as the radiator shell on all '31 trucks was painted black and the chrome stone guard would look out of place. The exception could have been the Sedan Delivery as it was more of a car than a truck. How Sweet the roar of a Chevy four!
