There is a possibility of it being a bitsa vehicle but is hard to say without seeing pictures , measurements etc.
Many modifications have been done to vehicles over the years as you expect from 65+ year old vehicles . A lot of vehicles are mix and match with other brands thrown in for bad measure
There are quite a few differences between ford and chev
the most basic ones are
-Chev diffs are banjo style (having a full case with the crown/pinion/input shaft plate bolt on the front and plate on the back) Ford has a split type diff(frrom front to back)
-Chev have 6 cylinder engines Ford has 8
-chassis are different and engine mounting points are different ,chev at the front, Ford to the sides
-Chev brush guards have legs front and rear of bumper Ford mounted behind bar
-Generally (in 13 cabs) Chev grills are extruded mesh Ford are woven bar

The nomenclature plate in 13 cab generally is above the speedo to the right side of the speedo facia panel ,you should see 4 rivet holes in a rectangular pattern if removed
