It's an early 1930 used on commercial and trucks until the body change in mid 1930.

It may also have the 1930 pattern steering wheel/headlight switch/steering column.

It probably has Budd 5 hole wheels and the front spring is 2-1/2 wide. (Earlier were 12 or 18 leaf car width front springs.)

Its like Ford made just enough changes to use up the Squarish Budd Bodies before the swap over to the Ford produced "cab."

This one looks "rustic." Do you have any more pix?

It is an Early 1930, not a Late 29. All 1929 style sheet metal with all the new 1930 Suspension, Brakes, Wheels, ETC.

It is not a 1929 it is an early to June 1930 when Ford changed the commercial line from the 1929 to 1930 cab and sheet metal .The 82A cab to the 82B cab . This truck had the heavy brakes,bevel back axle and BUDD 5 hole wheels .
