Top material and rear fenders

Post by IHC »

My truck is a 1931 157" with a 82B body.
I have two questions:
:?: 1.) How thick is the cotton layer on top of the chiken mesh?
:?: 2.) How does the rear fenders on an express or panel delivery compare to the model A? Can someone supply me with the measures between the rim and the overall measure (diameter) of the AA fenders if they are different from the A model?. Inches will do though we only use centimetres and millimetres.

Hello HIC,
I don't have the thickness for the roofing cotten wading. But, the 82-B is also used on the closed cab pickup. So, someone with a pickup might be able to help (or try LeBaron Bonney Co - 978-388-3811 - they sell kits for the top).
Regards, Neil Wilson

Hello HIC,
The rear fenders for a 1931 AA express are quite different for most fenders. These fender were used on the Ambulance and some other models. The 1931 panel delivery fenders are larger than a Model A fender. I have a pair of these fenders for my '31 Service car and can provide pictures and measurments. Send me an e-mail at wilsmor@juno.com with your questions. I don't know how to attachs pictures here.
Regards, Neil Wilson
