Ford pickup box identification.

Hello, been a while since I've posted but we found some new treasures! I have been looking for a decent model A frame for a rat rod project and had to buy a bunch of sheet metal to get it. When I picked it all up, I just assumed it was a model A box...... but I'm not sure, it has some odd things. Any who, here's some pictures any ideas would be welcome!

Thanks in advance

After looking at what seems like a million pictures..... I think it's for a 26-27 model T. I can't find anything on the little curved pieces on the front, but I think they were for a roadster.

Front panel doesn't look like T. They had a little area kicked out for the battery. But the side profile does look like a 27-27 T.

I'm thinking it's a 32-34 bed with what is definitely a 26-31 tailgate, or it's had the front panel changed out.

Willow, if you look close at the back panel it has been "fixed" so it's a flat back.

You are right the bed is from a '26-'27 Model T. The little curved pieces are made to fill the gap between the roadster body and the bed. The roadster either had a turtle deck which had a trunk bottom and trunk lid or the pickup bed. Your tailgate is in fairly good condition.
