Guest everettflash Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 i have a 1930 ford pickup that i am finishing restoration. the wheel well is on the drivers side. there is no hole in the splash apron or hole in the frame where the mount should bolt. i checked the frame on the other side an no hole or dimples where the rivets should go. any ideas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 13, 2012 Share Posted November 13, 2012 The mount is supposed to be on the driver's side. Your truck might have been made up from a car frame. Bratton's sells all the parts to install a sidemount. The 30-31 is different from the 28-29.If you don't have a catalog they'll send you one. 301-829-9880 for info or 800-255-1929 to order.

Dave Mellor NJ Posted November 14, 2012 Share Posted November 14, 2012 I don't think it would weaken the frame but you should ask more knowledgable people than me. A good place to go is the Model A forum on Fordbarn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
