Ah ,the Phillipines. Some of the old cars got a very hard life in places like Sth America & even here in NZ. To keep them going a lot of 'mix n match' went on but if there were not many sponsor cars around for parts, then some strange hybrids occurred [ eg. Cuba] Sounds like a late Model T [ with A engine etc?] but pics will clear it up.
There were a lot of Model T nuts & bolts in the first A's, plus incidental things like tool kit & some other very minor bits & pieces, but the Model A was all new. The closed cabs of the delivery pickup used carry over body panels from a '27 T Tudor or Coupe less cowl, but that was about it.
