the long wood block i have looks like it should fit . the three bolt holes line up with the wood block holes. i am making the side bracket to the frame .
interesting diversities right down to the cowl base.
the books all show that the '28-'29 coupes, roadsters, phaetons, tudor sedans and pickups had the three hole long wood block then in '30 it was shortened and straightened . much different later.
so now was there an earlier third style, much shorter ?
very interesting.
thank you.

Yes, the models with wooden floor sills had the sills extending under the cowl structure. The double carriage bolts went through the front end of the side sills.
