Can anyone add to the body type list?

[ctlikon0712]

I’m looking for any body type’s that aren’t denoted in the two lists. One is for A’s and the other for AA’s. I know that the following weren't included in the originals.
225A Panel Delivery W/ Drop Floor
255A Special Delivery W/ Natural Wood
295A Town Car Delivery
???A Special Delux Delivery
???A Delux Delivery with tailgate 131"?
???AA Panel Delivery Body with Tailgate 157"

I have more or less the same list that you have with unknown body type numbers.

See my website www.plucks329s.org ...Additional Studies...Letters, Numbers and Codes.

EXAMPLE:

Open Cab 28-30 76000 to 77999 76-A

Open Cab 30-31 ??????? 76-B

Travelers Wagon 31 ??????? Unknown

Special ????? De Luxe Delivery 31 ??????? Unknown

De Luxe Delivery Body with Tailgate 31 ??????? Unknown
Special ????? De Luxe Delivery 31 ??????? Unknown
Dual Wheel Sets 30-31 ??????? Unknown
High Speed Axles 30-31 ??????? Unknown
Special Illinois Highway Express 31 ??????? Unknown
Special Illinois Highway Dump 31 ??????? Unknown
131” Bread Wagon 31 ??????? Unknown
131” Combination Body 31 ??????? Unknown
Special Ice Body 31 ??????? Unknown
Combination Ambulance and Funeral Coach 31 ??????? Unknown
Special Ambulance 31 ??????? Unknown
157” Combination Body 31 ??????? Unknown

* Used on the “parallel” “AA” 157” wheelbase frame introduced early 1931.


All of the "UNKNOWN"s came of the 1931 FORD Assembly Record Type list. Other sources were Parts Price Lists, Body Parts Lists, Ford Service Bulletins, and Ford Service Letters.

??????? is the Part Number Group as with "76000 to 77999" above with the Open Cab example.

I to would like to know the "unknown"!

Maybe the answer lies with the Part Releases for specific parts pertaining to the above body styles at the Ford Archives????

Maybe Pluck, the records have to exist somewhere...... I think it makes a good project. Anyone else?

The "FORD CHASSIS PARTS AND ACCESSORIES CATALOGUE" lists the following models for 1928 thru 1931.

Previous photos a bit hard to read. These may work better.

Are you considering the 'Sport' roadster by Ford Canada,1929, also Deluxe Tudor 1930. There were ''Sports' [ sic.] roadster & tourer by Ford Australia [ 1929 - '32], and the Commercial Tudor with rear door kit available in US & foreign markets. Probably more weird but legitimate Ford Model A types sold worldwide out there.

If they had a Ford recognized number I feel they should be added to the list. I'm not so sure about the GAZ. The Brit and German A's should be the same.

Vince, I took some time last night looking for the chart you mentioned and couldn't find it on your site. Marco, those choices may be the answer, I'm not sure. I actually saw those intries on someone elses list. I have never seen an optional tail gate.
Thanks everyone for your input.

What I say is fact. It's very clear in the parts books. Additionally, both versions (with and without) were processed through engineering at the same time so it clearly was NOT an early/late issue.

OK, got it. Thanks
