I have done some research on here since putting up my first post. I found a post from Neil Wilson in Boulder CO. He is into AA's, and since my "A" is a pickup I took down some notes. Top hood hinge rod on commercial vehicles beginning in June of 1930, the rod is 30 !/4" long and hinge length is 29 1/4". The side hood hinge rod for the same vehicles is .25 dia. X 29 3/4" long and the hinge length is 30". I figured it had to be in here some where.
