Looking for good patina/rusty 30-31 roadster body to make a 31 roadster express truck. Would prefer complete unrestored original but may consider others.

FYI - A 1931 express body was an AA chassis installed cargo body (type 195-A, 197-A, 239-A, or 242-A - see
https://aafords.com/open-bodies/express-bodies/). A 30-31 roadster body can not be installed on an AA chassis. The open cab (starting June 1930 was type 76-B) and was available for the 1931 AA chassis - refer to
https://aafords.com/cabs/76-b-open-cab/. This cabs were also installed on the A chassis.

A rusty patina can be replicated. It'll take about a year to do it but it can be done.
