Wandering if someone could help me? I have a 29/30 rpu truck and a 29 coupe the “the hood shelf” on my truck is missing. The coupe hood shelf is very similar in length between fire wall and radiator. However, the hood shelf for a truck is different. Know one in the aftermarket shows availability of the RPU truck hood shelf? Can someone help me where I could get a pair pls and thx

Others more knowledgeable than me will hopefully chime in, but I think there was some crossover with the pickups into 1930? Or maybe it was the AA?

The Judging Standards show there were four different hood shelves used
between beginning of production through 1929 (May 1930 on commercial models).
You will need to determine which one is correct for your vehicle.

Thx everyone for your replies. After measuring the hood I’ve realized it’s definitely a 1929 RPU. The difference from the coupe to the RPU is the splash apron area. The coupe measures from front of rad to the outside front tip roughly 9” where as the RPU is roughly 11”
Unfortunately, I don’t know where to even compare another truck to see how they fit or how long the shelf extends past the radiator.
If someone could direct me to a body parts supplier who might have one, it would be much appreciated
Thx in advance!!

that was the AA. 28-mid 30 were the square cab to use up the leftover 29 cabs since AA's were seen as a commercial tool first.
