The only information I have found was a table in the July-August 1973 issue of Ford Life magazine. I remembered it because I have an early 1931 RDPU.

I guess this is somewhat skewed. While I see the actual numbers for 31, 30 is just listed as truck.
so the only accurate number I see is for 31 and 29. what am I missing? roadster pickup is what I am looking for. |

Ford made the open cabs with a fixed top so they aren't a true roadster and most of their sales literature just lumped them in with the rest of the truck classifications. 76-A or B was the body style of the open cab type. Even the box was the 78-A or B type specs. Commercials were commercials to Ford, from the small A pickup to the large AA truck.

Well I would still like to figure out how many for 1930. Seems to be so many more from 28-29. 31 is obviously pretty rare. |

Those guys worked for Ford back in the day so they would have a better idea about what the figures might be. The open cabs were the least expensive way to go if purchasing a commercial vehicle but folks were liking the idea of more weather protection of a closed cab.

Steve Plucker has done extensive research on Model "A" production, and he has published his work in a book I highly recommend. It is, "The 1928-1931 Ford Assembly Plants And Their Production Of The Model A Ford Passenger Cars, Part 1."
