They'll all fit,but to be correct the RPU should have a painted steel radiator shell,not stainless.My 30 open pickup has a stainless shell on it,but it doesn't belong there.I have a 31 pickup in a basket,that one has a stainless shell too.Unless I fall into one that will go back together with the stainless.

Keith is correct but I wanted to expand a little. The correct shell is the shape of a 1930 shell but it is plain steel painted black. For 1931 it will have the 1931 radiator emblem. There is also a shell for the AA which is deeper and lacks the peak so be careful when shopping.

Splash aprons and fender attachment is the same.

The attached photo shows the shell on an AA without the peak at the top of the opening, you need the one with the peak.
