Body bolts locations

[Bob from Northport]

Are all the holes drilled in the frame for mounting the vehicle body drilled in the same locations on all Model A frames from 28-31??

Thanks!!

I believe they are drilled in the same places.

Pickup trucks have extra holes for the bed.
I think 1931 slant windshields have extra holes or brackets.

Yes they are kind of the same but not exactly.

The frames for slant window bodies, the vicky came out in 30, have the 2/3 hole moved rearward and need the rivet holes for the #6 frame bracket.

These frames are compatible with all 30-31bodies.

The quick highlights:
There are differences in the frames for the Ebrake shaft and the front cross member for 28-29 vs 30-31.


Look up Steve Pluckers website for the frame changes through production.

There were 4 styles of frames used in the model A production.

All,
I believe all holes were stamped vs drilled.

I believe the extra holes are for the rear cab corners.

So do positions 2 and 3 have bolts that go all the way through the subrails, subrail extensions, and frame brackets?
