Stock Ford Model A frames

[lilorbie]

I have a stock 1929 Ford Model A frame. The body I have is a 1930 Ford Model A Fordor with a body by Murray. Will the body I have fit the frame I have.? Thanks for any help anybody can be with this.

Front cross member would be incorrect.

The 30/31 cars dropped the location of the radiator mount pads for the taller radiator profile.

Easy enough to switch out the front crossmember.

Thanks for all of the reply's. Since this is my first Model A. It looked like the frame was going to be a little bit short in the area between the rear spring and the back end of the body.

BillCNC-
I’ve done many change outs and have the setup.
But still not “a day at the beach” thingy imho
Particularly for a novice
Ilirbie- great time to make sure frame is level and square before setting a body on it.
That subject is quite common on this site

The height change on the crossmember is about 3/16". you can shim the body to make up the difference.

All bodies overhang the rear x-member.
