VCCA Home Forums TECHNICAL - 1945 AND EARLIER 1933-1936 Mystery part ID? '33 roadster

Found this behind the driver side kick panel. Its about 7" wide

That is the access plate for the windshield wiper (above the windshield) from a truck. If Chevy, then probably '39/'46. Your photo is the back side. Two holes, one for on/off, one for speed control knob.
The most common would be for the drivers side, much, much, much less common would be accessory passenger side.
Other, non Chevy/GMC, trucks might have had a similar panel.

I think you are right about it being a wiper motor access plate.
And I never would have thought of that until you said it! :-)
But it's definitely not 1941-46 truck.
It's hard to find good pics on the net... but it may be from the style of cab used on the 1937 truck.

It's not '37/38. "36 used a flat plate early and might have changed to the '37/'38 later. My '36 has the flat plate.

Well, at least it isn't missing from my car.

How it got where it is, nobody alive still knows.

Based on how I found it, it may have been some half-assed way to support the lower part of the kickpanel

Thanks,
Doug
