My girl friend, Bless her heart. ordered a set of sub rails for my 30 pickup as a christmas present the other day but didn't relize it was for a 28-29 tudor well when she relized she freeked out parenoied she just spent $300 on them she told me what she had done and I was wondering if the sub rails were the same. I know the full length ones can be trimed down but what about the shape of them are they the same ? im sure the company will take them back if they will not work but whats the use if they are the same. I noticed the part numbers are different in the repo books but is that just for the customer.

Did you ask the manufacture if they were the same shape? I'm curious since no one has been able to answer your question. Hopefully they can just be cut to length as you suggested.

I wish I had a girl friend that would buy me car parts, but I doubt my wife would like it.

CarlG · 12-07-2011, 06:18 PM

I just spend my money on my "A" rather than a girlfriend. Wife is OK with that.

jojofilo88 · 12-07-2011, 07:19 PM

sounds like a keeper gf...my ex gf was embarassed riding in my A...notice the "ex"

85930tudor · 12-07-2011, 09:54 PM

Mine buys me parts and parts lots......But then she calls my Dad to come and get what he wants or needs when they get here. Makes Mom happy that he dont have to spend money on his 29 woodie. And makes me happy to help out since Im paying for the parts, And thank you to all the veterans out there and a very Merry Christmas to all!

Richard/Ca · 12-08-2011, 01:46 AM

I'm sorry what was the question again? All I remember is the Boo-Boo's

Popeye31 · 12-12-2011, 08:49 PM

Well the sub rails cam in and they are the same as my 30 trucks so I will just trim them down and rivit it together.

Glad that worked out for you Popeye

Popeye31 · 12-21-2011, 10:09 PM

update on sub rails . they looked the same at first glance but I went in the garadge to see where I needed to cut them and they are different. I can make them work with a little chop cut rebuild so I think i'll just use them. But if any one is intrested they are different.

Jim Parker Toronto · 12-21-2011, 10:18 PM

So,..... no Boo Boo's? Merry Christmas to All...

Tim · 12-21-2011, 10:23 PM

You should stop calling her your girlfriend and start calling her your wife

. Any woman that will spend money on your car addiction is a keeper. Mines been ordering the wrong stuff for 20 years this May, I just put it in a pile or use it somehow and keep truckin'.

Happy Holidays,

Tim

PS next time you must show the Boo Boo no matter how big or small.

I am happy to hear you are going to use those parts. Any girl friend that would spend $300 on your hobby is definitely a keeper. Shame on you for even mentioning that it may be wrong! I remember an old cartoon showing a guy and his gal driving his old car and the caption stated that true love was letting your girl friend drive your Model A. When we got married (1966), we left the church in the Model A Town Sedan. My wife used our Model A as a second car. She used to love to go to the bank and throw the money/checks down into the tray at the drive-up window. Since then my wife's modern car sat out in the snow and ice while the Model A stayed in the garage. She never complained. Who knows, there will come a day when you want a "new to you" Model A and it is a whole lot easier if she is urging you to buy it! I remember my wife following me around Hershey for three days looking for some part. Finally on the last day I did find it but it was way too much money. I was about to walk away when my wife told me in a very stern tone that if I didn't buy it she would divorce me! Needless to say that part is installed in my car. Oh such a wonderful hobby to share with the wife or girl friend.

Happy Holidays everyone, Ed
