Sounds like a great trip. Go for greatness and take the difficult route. I'll throw in a few bucks.
Model A's were litterally built for dirt roads. Dont worry about that. Get the best tires available. A 4 speed transmission would help on the rock climbing, it will climb anything. Spent my teenage years driving a 4 speed coupe all over logging trails. West of the Rockies it can get lonely so don't count on scrap yards. They are getting hard to find, and bad things usually happen where there is no help.
