When they went to the Model A guards, probably in 29 sometime, I guess when the T ones ran out, they were roadster guards. The original side panels are a simple piece of sheet metal with a slight curve long wise and lots of wood. As far as I know the body was the same with either a flare or well side on top.

Don't think I've ever seen an original "improved" A ute tho. But from where I stand, it looks original, and it is good to see one so well preserved.

The biggest give away is the detail like the tailgate clips and side support brackets. Those creating a ute from something else rarely went to that much trouble.
