I am looking rear fenders for my 1931 panel delivery, which I’m told are the same as other 1930-31 body styles, including Standard Phaeton, Tudor Sedan, Panel Delivery, Deluxe Delivery, Town Car, Station Wagon, Fordor Sedan, Victoria, Special Delivery, Town Car Delivery, and Convertible Sedan..

I was told they'd be much too big, but I'd like to see, just in case. Thank you.

Thank you Sir. Exactly. For the same reason I put helpers on my modern van.

I'm told that mail trucks are extremely top heavy and scary to drive; especially around corners and in cross winds. Since Model As didn't use sway bars, it occurs to me that a set of heavy duty helpers might keep it from swaying from side to side as much. On my existing truck, the helpers...

I am looking for some helper springs for the '31 Model A Mail truck I will be buying. I already have one truck that has "factory" helpers on it. They are spring packs that are mounted to the frame rails and run perpendicular to the existing rear spring. They appear to be smaller versions...

I am about the buy a '31 Model A mail truck. Does anyone know what kind of license plates were on mail trucks back then? Regular State license plates? Commercial State license plates? US Government plates? I have read that is 1970 US Postal vehicles were exempted from license plates, but...

Thanks everyone. I found one this morning.

I saw that and he says remanufactured, but then says "the bowl was not used and will need to be assembled and tightened once line up with your gas line". I will pass. That's not remanufactured in my book. I got burned on eBay a few months ago by a seller calling himself broadstreet3. He...

I'm looking to buy a rebuilt, ready to go Zenith side bowl for my '31.

Now the diagram makes a little more sense. Thank you.

Thank you Sir.

I was told that a former member named Marco T had prepared a diagram of the various types of Model A springs, from Roadster to commercial truck, and that I should have a copy for reference. If anyone knows about this and has a copy, I would appreciate it.

Also, the illustration appears to show polished radiator shell and headlight buckets. Do you have any sense of what is right? My truck has both of these in black but a brightwork cowl band, and that seems wrong to me.

Brad, I see this new ad you sent me is for the F-203 and it says "Standard". Was there a DeLuxe?
