dwollam Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 (edited) Would my 1931 Model A Roadster pickup have come with a painted cowl band like the closed AA trucks or would it have been stainless originally?Thanks,Dave Edited March 11, 2013 by dwollam typo (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 All standard commercial vehicles had the black band until about mid '31 when they changed to body color. Deluxe pickups and Deluxe deliveries had the "rustless" trim. Don't confuse the Deluxe pickup with the standard pickup; they are two different body configurations ( and pretty rare)! Remember, Ford trucks were made to be low priced and work hard, they were not embelished at the factory! No extra sidemount , no rear bumpers and no whitewalls and all bed wood is painted body color NOT VARNISHED! Trucks were not even rubbed out on the line until late in '31 so shiny paint on the hood, body and bed is not authentic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dwollam Posted March 13, 2013 Author Share Posted March 13, 2013 Thank you sir! Yeah, I know the whitewalls are incorrect, but I had them and it brightened it up SO much I couldn't resist! Wood in bed is black. I have a correct painted band now so I will use that. My pickup currently has none on it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jpage Posted March 14, 2013 Share Posted March 14, 2013 I had a '28 open cab, we sure did love that thing. At least you can take the top off, can't on '28-'29. Have fun! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
