The radiator is going to be to tall with the 28 29 front crossmember.

Yes, you can put a 28/29 on a 30/31 but not the other way around. The 30/31 crossmember has lowered radiator mounting pads to make up for the height difference.

perfect thank you!

Can someone with wire spoke wheels measure and post the diameter opening in the wheel for the hubcap? Curious as to what I can find to snap in there.

Well what i did was braze the bushing to the worn out perch, ream round again and it will be good for many many years as long as you keep grease in it like its designed. As they were they were worn and junk as the shackle wore thru to the casting - might as well prolong them another lifetime.

My guess is when starting with a bare frame is warford or dual high, attach the U joint for the rear axle and attach that next so you can have a stable platform - also a way to move the driveshaft to align the trans to warford. Then engine trans combo last. Make sure you got all the u joint gaskets ...

black as with everything else regarding the rolling chassis (besides some wheel parts)

one thing ive wondered: was the dual high engine green or black? what about the clamshells?

i think i was told it was dum dum. kind of a crude RTV/weather sealer of its time. Im betting there is a more modern better sealer people use but dont know what it is.

this guy lists 28/29 cab subframe.

there was on ebay exactly what you wanted for like $150 late last year. I just looked and couldn't find it... Might just search "model A" on ebay every now and then and hope it reappears.

I will try and install some hub caps tonight. I was worried the rear end went together wrong. FYI - If you assembled the rear axle from other axles, then the worm drive without emergency brakes had longer axles than the worm drive with emergency brakes. This is true BUT if he used later 29 axles on...

Awesome job - thanks for the pics! Keep the updates commin.

And your SURE its from inside the engine? Could be flywheel/clutch related. Does it do it in neutral when your stopped and revving the engine? Clutch depressed and revving VS released?

Is it only under a load? What about when in reverse? driveshaft can transmit sounds to many places...

Since yours in an AA the front half is pretty much the same as an A but the rear springs are a different animal. go over them closely and hit all the grease zerks. also dont forget the throwout bearing under its excess plate also dont forget a drop of oil on the starter, generator, accel linkage, cr...

the 28 cap? - maybe. the 29 cone ones? no not sure what their smoking... especially the pair of dented rubbed ones for $149...Ive found better ones all day long for $1 - $5 at swap meets... Those dents are a bear to get out due to the thick steel...

Where are you located? Those are big heavy parts to ship.
