"Rough drawing" Nov./29 to Final modification Oct. 1930 , there were 9 changes. NOT all changes were released . First design was for the 1930/31 open cab pickup. Called for chrome plated but was quickly changed in less then a month. DELETE the chrome plating and specity the stanchions be painted. Part # A-37130/31 by Ford. Lower stanchions were made of both steel and brass. Early stanchions was staked in 4 places and then arc welded and then went to butt welded to speed up production. Thanks go out to Ross Milne President of the 180A club and George De Angelis [Ford archives]
