A larger picture would help, but it appears to be very late 28 or 1929.

The pad area for the radiator mount looks like it is straight out from the frame lip, and the late 29-31 dips just as it leaves the lip of the frame, and has elongated holes.

Not sure why the pic came out small. Sorry

If someone has a pic of a late 29-31, could they post a pic please?

If for no other reason than future searches.

When I was looking, I couldn't find any threads that showed the exact differences.

It looks like a 1929. 1930-1931 cross members had oblong shaped mounting holes for the radiator and the pad was sunk in to allow for the taller 30-31 radiators. Also the 30-31's had nickel sized hole on top for the overflow pipe. If you post a bigger picture that would help a lot.

Here is the best I can do for the 1930 front crossmember. This one happens to be for a 1930 AA, which is a clubmember's original popcorn wagon his grandfather ran.

Also for comparison is a 1928 crossmember.
