Good catch Bob.

These advertised Drop Center chassis oviously were made by outside Independent Body Building sources (Detroit Dyko Drive Corp., and Step-N-Drive Truck Corp.) other than Ford by utilizing those left over 131-1/2" WB frames that were not utilized in 1929 AA usage by Ford.

According to the Assembly Record Types, Fords version did not start until July 1931.

On the other hand, Ford could of been using up the old stock of 1929 parts on these 447 chassis???

Hmmmmmm...Interesting.
