    Jwilliams81 is good for the 30-31 caps, the 28-29 screw on caps have a small set screw on the backside under hinge.

    Lift points - Model A

    I for sure would NOT want to be under that where you have in your third picture, way too far forward on the lift and completely unsafe. As others have said use close to rear motor mounts for front and closer to rear on back utilizing the frame with spacers.

    Engine number

    The postal service did brand some items, tires later spark plugs, etc. but my unrestored 31 postal truck has nothing branded. Depends on the local POD garages at the time. You likely have a rebuilt motor from one of the local garages and since story was an unofficial mail carrier, they just...

    Sound deadening in a roadster door

    For sure there was sound deadening in some doors, guarters and trunk rumble lids. I like the 6x50 rolls of window sealer from Home Depot or such. It’s rubber, self stick only about 1/8” thick cuts easy sticks well. Can be used to enhance base response from speakers too. Works well

    Cracked Block Options

    By the looks of it this one has none of the ‘upgrades’ you referenced. Would have been better taken care of. If you only have a cup of oil in 3 days you need to drop the oil pan and clean out the sludge and oil pump. Clean valve galley. Nasty crack but you could do as you like and drive it till...

    Cam / distributor gear back lash?

    Before you start and run, be wise and drop your oil pan and clean the sludge, along with open valve galley and clean as well. Many a still decent engine is ruined in the first 5 minutes of running after sitting as long as yours appears to have been sitting.

    30 Model A roadster top question

    Top won’t need modified, it will be a weird line, but it’s yours. The top material will not line up at bottom rear for attachment

    Mail truck question

    Decommissioned in 1954, and the only portion Ford played was supplying the body by others chassis, body builders supplied the bodies and the POD garages married the two. Some electrical differences like tail light and cargo light applications varied by garage. Many unrestored postal trucks like...
