Update on my original post. After finding out that I was also missing the second to the rear block also I called Macs. (I ordered the correct it 10pic set but they only sent me 8 blocks two I will not use) The short block is what they send with the coupe kit, and I was told it is correct. (pictured above)

My sub rails are cracked out in that area so my car (28-29) may have had a short block in the back. However I wouldn't use that block if I was building a stock model a. I would make a longer block to evenly distribute the weight. Then only thing I was concerned about was if it was the correct height. I'm only mounting this body to a stock frame to square it up. Then I will be mounting it to a deuce frame so I will have to rebuild the sub rails in back anyhow.
