What month did Ford introduce the Closed Cab body with a pickup box?

Thanks.

It's mentioned in the September 6, 1928 Fargo Service Letter.

RGJS page A-1 has June 4, 1928 for the 82-A closed cab.

If some CCPU owners could post dates (frame/engine or gas tank) of their 28 pickup, that might help.

My 1928 Closed Cab pickup had a 6 6 28 stamp on its gas tank when I bought it in 1970. The gas tank leaked so I had to remove it. ken

Kemparker- If the RGJS date is accurate, you may well have the oldest surviving Model A CCPU. Would it be worth the effort to get the original tank back on your truck?

No. I , not knwing what I had at the time, replaced the tank with a '29 tank, then gave the 28 tank to a friend. He is now repairing Model A's with Jesus and I dont know if his sons still have the 28 tank or not.

The titlw and motor and frame # is A385459 - and mid spring #. ken

Hey Ken- I would encourage you to attempt to get the tank back if possible. Even if you don't use it for now, you would have it and could keep it with the truck as part of its history. At the very least, document your knowledge so that your trucks history is not lost. Provenance is a precious and rare thing.

I had a 28 truck with a back window so high up I couldn't see out of it.I THINK,although I can't remember for sure it had Ford script by the back window too.I sold it in the early 80's.I knew nothing about date stamps so I have no idea what it was.The guy I sold it to drove it until the late 90's,then it became a street rod.I'll have a look when I see it at the cruise night this summer.

Goodmorning,
This is Kevin and i am working on a 1934 Ford BB Dump truck, A gentleman told me that Neil is the one to ask about these parts. The hydraulic pump that sits next to the ram,or piston . The brass stud that comes out to indicate direction or up and down. If you have any other suggestions i am also open . Thanks Kevin

Kevin,
Since your post doesn't follow the thread, you should consider starting a new thread, maybe in the 1932 to 53 forum. You have a better chance getting the info you seek. A PM to Neil Wilson may get your answers. Good luck.
