yup, find a local model A club and im sure someones got an old coil laying around.

Since its a doodlebug who knows what its previous lives were.

The worm drive rearend was 28-late 29, 4 speed showed up around the same time the bevel gear rearend showed up so late 29-31 for the trans.

your front axle is from what i can tell from a standard model A ( small lugnuts/rim)

AA's has 1 1/8" diameter lug nuts. rear wheels look like they are off a 50's dodge ton truck or military vehicle.(same pattern as AA)

model A frame is pretty small C channel by todays standards, AA's are large.

Post some more pics! looks like the perfect toy in your neck of the woods!
