GM diff casting #3707306 = 1956 passenger car, but this is not a '56 chassis, so it is a replacement rear end
parallel leafs = not a Ford
rear lever shocks+tube front shocks = 1933-48ish but not Buick, Cad, Olds, LaSalle

/1

light frame rails, single center x-member = unlikely a truck
solid front axle, prewar = if GM, it's a Chevy
I'm gonna guess 1936-39 Chevy with a later rear axle swap (tho it could be a similar era Mopar, Studebaker, Willys). Sorry, I gave it my best. 2/2

If I were in "My Cousin Vinnie" I'd get all ready to grill Marisa Tomei on whether a 1963 Pontiac Tempest positrac IRS could be swapped into a '64 Skylark, or if the tire tracks could have been a '63-'67 Corvette, but then I'd be like, "mmm Marisa Tomei"
1951 Buick LeSabre concept car; behind it is 1956 Buick Centurion concept car.

Further easy ID questions will be ignored

I just want to make clear that I know probably 50 people who could immediately ID that chassis, without any type of googling. To you I may look like an expert, but to them I'm a wannabe.
