I found these parts today in a local metal recycling yard. I think they are off of a BT-13 , but I am unsure. There were a lot of other parts there, but mostly just severely rusted steel tubing and aluminum fuel/hydraulic lines. I left those pieces behind. I plan on hammering out the stainless fire wall and using it as decoration, but I would like to know what It came off of. I'm near the Texas gulf coast, and a lot of crop dusting used to go on down here. I think these parts where from a plane that someone jerked the engine to put on a crop duster. But that is only a guess.http://s1122.photobucket.com/albums/l523/cjasonbarnett/BT-13%20Vultee%20Valiant%20WWII%20trainer%20crashed%20parts/

Most of those parts are BT. The 74- prefix is also a BT part along with anything starting with 63-. That separate switch sub-panel is from the rear cockpit. The air intake is not BT. It looks to me like it might be stearman. Too bad the firewall was messed up. They can be worth a few bucks when they are straight. Hope this helps.s

Thanks for the information.
