Are the radiator splash aprons used on 28/29 AA's the same as regular model A's?
How can you tell them apart if they are?
How can you tell the difference between the 30/31 vs 28/29?
Thanks - making a list of stuff i will be looking for at IOLA and want to get my facts straight.

Re: AA radiator splash apron
There was only A chassis radiator splash aprons.
Through June 1930, commercial A's and AA's with the "A" suffixed body types used the 1929 A chassis sheet metal. Starting June 1930, AA's with the "B" suffixed body types used the 1930 A chassis sheet metal.
There are pictures of radiator splash aprons in the June 15, 1930 Ford Parts Price List (and likely other list as well).

Re: AA radiator splash apron
The car and truck sheet metal is the same; there are no unique AA aprons. The 28/29/early 30 AA had an apron attached to the vehicle by 4 oval head screws passing vertically through holes in the hood shelves into 4 threaded tabs on the outside of the apron. The 30/31 style is attached with with 4 long hex bolts attached to the inside of the frame horns horizontally and mated with 4 holes in the sides of the apron. There is a tiny difference between the 28 and 29/30 apron. The sides of the 28 have a rib along the bottom of the sides only. The 29-early 30 have a rib on both the top and bottom of the sides.
