'30-1 door identification

[dean from bozeman]

This year I am going to drive to Hershey and bring a pickup truck load of things to sell. But I need help. I am a '28-9 guy who specializes in very early and early '28s. I don't know much about '30-1 stuff.

So I need help identifying these doors. What type A's would these fit?

Once identified I will put them in the Fordbarn want ads. If someone is interested I will bring them to Hershey. It seems like this would be a good way to pre-sell and not haul things over 2,000 and just have to bring them back.

I got these doors from a hot rodder and they are both perfect with no rust. So I wonder what they came off of? If the doors are perfect what was the body like...gulp.

Thanks for your help in identifying these doors.

It is a right & left front doors off a four door briggs 1929 to early 1930

I agree with jw. I would have given my left xxx for those a year ago! They are very difficult to replace the wood in!

Lee, it is a shame because the wood is in very good condition.

So they're from a Briggs 1929 to early '30. As I said I am an ear;y '28 guy and don't have a club nearby where I can learn such things. I do appreciate the help.

It intrigues me that a door would change during 1930. Would someone please explain.

Thanks.

I think they would fit up to early 31 Briggs with the straight WS.

Yep, it's the same as on that old beater pictured below. To my knowledge there were no notable changes to that door from early '29 to the time those bodies were replaced with slant windshield models in early 1931.

Very funny Marco. You probably really annoyed Ray Archer, the new owner of that "old beater". Yes, there is a bit of egg on my face.

I just dug these out of the corner of the garage where they have been for years. Yes, I should have made a better connection but to sell them I need to know everything that they would fit.

Thanks to all for your help.

Yup,
Looks like a Briggs fordoor. These are real nice doors to work with, and relatively inexpensive. I used two on the huckster I am building and paid $50 for the pair at Renningers this spring. Yours look particularly nice !
