Model T body on Model A running gear

[Onlybackroads]

Hello everyone, I am new to this thread as well as the whole world of early Ford cars, and even just cars in general. Which brings me to my first question on this forum.

I know this may have been asked before, but I could not find any topics addressing it, so here goes. Just as the title says, I want a T model tudor sedan body on an A model chassis with A model engine/trans/rear. Could anyone point me in a direction towards some information on that subject, or even share some experience with the process? I love both cars, and find myself going back and forth between which one I want, so why not have both at once? I know some purists may think it silly, but it's something I want to have and drive for many miles. Thank you!

Probably because the owner of this forum has asked that this forum relate to "Restoration". With that said, -have you even started by setting the body onto the A frame? It is a pretty straight-forward fit with only minor brackets/holes needing altering.

I understand how you get caught up in an Idea, however I think you are taking two cars worth something and making one car that will be worth nothing. I've done things similar to this and lived to regret it.

[Chris in WNC]

not worth nothing, as wiOv suggests but likely worth a lot less than what you have in it.

actually that also describes most of the stock Model As I have owned

Should answer your questions.

I put a 26 Model T roadster back on a frame. The back holes almost line up.

No it is not. Had a few offers around 16,000, but will not sell for that.

George, I do hope you know I was being sarcastic? I have this wacky idea of some day putting a T roadster on an A frame and running gear as well. Someday

Yep. A quick glance at Hershey will show you lots of people getting RICH on Model A frames and T bodies, but screw those things together...whoa, right down to $6 per ton and off to China to become rebar!
