Considering Buying A Model A

[petew]

Some questions regarding the different years of model A cars.

First year 1928 , last year 1931 . What are the major differences and do the later ones have any more room for the driver than the early years ?

Is a pick up truck (28 - 31) tighter for the driver than a car ?

My biggest fear is gas tank issues . We have a 29 in our shop now that was "asleep " in the barn for 8 years . The gas tank , line and carb were a mess.
I drained and flushed the tank and then filled it with evapo rust , let it steep for a while and the pressure washed the insides with a pretty weak pressure washer . Flushed it with gas until it drained clean ( no sediment) and now it looks great inside but what if it didn't , what are you options with these cars as the tank seems to be part of the body ?
So the question is how do you qualify the gas tank as sound on a car that may be for sale ?

I perviously owned a 27 T roadster with model A running gear so I am Comfortable with the drivetrain, it's body , chassis and electrical that I have limited experience with on these cars.
