Question Do all Model A car bodies fit on the same frame ?

Just curious ...

Do all Model A car bodies fit on the same frame ?

More specifically for the 1930 Models ?

Default Re: Do all Model A car bodies fit on the same frame ?

There are minor differences in model A frames. One being the front crossmember. The 30/31 front crossmember have a lower radiator mounting place than 28/29's do. Also the emergency brake bar is also different between 28/29 and 30/31. There are other minor cosmetic differences, but they don't affect function.

I believe all 1930 Models will fit on all 1930 Frames if that's what your asking, but I don't think 1930 Frames are interchangeable with 1928/29 Frames.

I think Rusty said the same thing.

All Model A's are backwards compatible. There are small adjustments to be made but all will work.
