Not 100% sure on the chassis details, but going by the body/interior cues, that is my pick.

Add to the above - the horizontal "V-shaped" front frame extensions going to the front bumper support and the horizontal crossmember aft of the radiator location:
Leading edge of rear fenders- Neither Shell Valley nor Midstates look like this
90% sure it's an A&C. 99% sure it's not a Midstates or Shell Valley. I could be wrong, of course - I seem to recall the really old Shell Valleys had an odd looking rear fender leading edge, but not all of the other details I've noted.
