Way to go Dennis!

Using Neil's site as Tim listed above, there is a sub-section on mirrors, https://aafords.com/aa-body-types/mirrors/, check location of mirror mounting holes shown in your first picture. Those dimension will help you narrow down timeframe of at least your cabs design. Hard to tell from your pic...

LeonardS, Sorry - Didn't mean for you to delete your post, really meant to help anyone who might have similar situation.... Your pic was an excellent example of what's happened over 90+ years!

FWIW, It looks as though your using the AA bolt location on your cab, and your frame was for a car, as it is not drilled for CCPU mounting... Check this link for details on 82-A cabs from Neil Wilson click link for AA-82205 d3 Floor Pan...

Have not ordered the new guide as yet, an unsure I will from some of the posts I've read. Can clearly see differences and the darkness of the colors. Thanks Neil P.S. - Hitman, I humbly stand corrected! Commercial Drab is closer to what I had been thinking of.

Thank you Neil, I was/am aware of the color drop in Aug28 as you had addressed in previous thread - https://www.fordbarn.com/forum/showthread.php?p=980747#post980747 Was merely looking for clarification, as I have not seen either Commercial Gray or Commercial Drab in person or online to...

Wasn't aware of that! Color chips in the published Paint And Finish Guides therefor must be wrong. Commercial Gray and the latter Commercial Drab were also available, and not at all dark green from the examples previous posters have shared, but it's an elusive color to find original examples of...

Factory You can see them in the picture on page 4 here in Steve Plucker's doc... http://www.plucks329s.org/pdf/gastank/gas_tank_production.pdf

Curious what the color is, pics can be tricky?

Update Replaced u-joint several weeks ago, old one was actually just fine...vibration was still there... Yesterday was able to determine rear axle is the issue, although attempts to remove hubs were unsuccessful...we used the correct tools, didn't get around to using any heat however...but with...

I used fender welting on mine,If you didn't order a kit, Bratton's does sell the following: 29400 CLOSED CAB PICKUP HEADLINER 29410 4' TOP PADDING 29370 4' TOP MATERIAL 29460 HIDUM WELT

Will be takng it apart in a couple weeks to find the cause, both of these have been suggested as potential causes! Tires may be a factor, however it feels more like it's under my feet or below cab after shifting into 3rd, so the universal and bearing seem most suspect.... Thanks to all for the...

Purdy, it doesn't seem like lagging to me, but I've only been in one other Model A for comparison....it sure seems like everything is functioning as it should. I've even tried it out earlier today on a bit of a downhill grade, it coasts quietly in 3rd but starts up as soon as you press pedal...

It very likely not the flywheel and pressure plate from running motor, this motor had been rebuilt, run for several years, then car was in an accident, motor pulled and put into another car for several more years, then removed about 15 years ago. I acquired it about a year ago, went thru it...
