Was the 1931 Slant windsheild Fordor the only Fordor with steel body framework, or were there others with steel in place of wood? Bob
 
Yes the S/W fordor was the only Model A fordor that had a steel infrastructure. All previous fordor's were carriage construction. The only wood in the S/W as with most common body styles was to attach the upholstery to and of course the body to frame blocks.

Brent: In picture #2 it looks like there is some wooden framework to install a dome light as on a 160 A standard fordor. Then in picture #3 there is frame work to install the dome light over the rear window as in the 160 B Town Sedan. Are these two different cars or did you do some trick photography? Thanks Bill
