Any idea how many Model A roadster pick-up's were made in 1931?
Thanks for your answer.

If you look at your previous post with this question, the answer was “just over 700”.

According to the display at the Model A museum in Hickory Corners, 2637 wide bed open cab pickups were built, making them very rare!

You have a “regular” or “narrow” bed. Wide bed was only available in 31 for Model A.

I have an early (small bed) 1931 roadster pickup. The only source I have seen is the July-August 1973 issue of "Ford Life". They show 2637 domestic and 1508 foreign open cab bodies that were used on pickups and commercial trucks. They assume 40% went to pickups based on other data they referenced.

The total Australian production figures for the 1930 and 1931 Roadster pickups was was 87. That’s not many and we know of 5 surviving.
