Hi guys
Looked at a 1929 roadster (open cab, the top goes down) pickup for a friend the other day and neither the left or right fender is welled for a spare tire. Did an Model A's come this way? I tried doing a search on the forum and couldn't come up with much. Just curious.
Thanks
Scott

Hi Sconners.
The top on a RPU does not originally fold and the spare tire fender well was usually on the drivers side.

Actually a 28-29 roadster pickup top assembly doesn't even come off. It's affixed to the body. The 30-31 was made to lift off, having grommets and turnbuckles.
