Default *Question* 1929 model a roadster doors

** Question** Are the doors on a 1929 model a roadster and a 1929 model a roadster pickup the same? Thanks for your time, Mike 775-750-2400 or email [email protected]

They're also the same as 1929 phaeton doors

Close, but not quite. The '29 Roadster and Phaeton had outside door handles. The 82-A Open Cab had the equivalent of '28 Roadster/Phaeton doors (no outside handles) regardless of whether the Open Cab was built in 1928, 1929, or 1930. This is not a huge deal as they can be converted either direction but I thought it was worth noting.

Thanks for the clarification Marco, but should it be pointed out that the 82-A was actually a Closed Cab pick-up bodystyle? I am pretty sure from my experiences that the doors off of the 82-A will NOT interchange with the Roadster or Phaeton bodystyles, nor the 76-A cab without extensive work?

I wasn't thinking of the door handles as I have outside handles on my ute and forgot that the US pickups don't have them.

Oops! It was inevitable that I would slip up sooner or later!!! Yep, need to subtract 6 from that :-)
