Thread: Model A Parts for Trade

Tweet

Im new to the rod scene. I am trying to put together a budget Model A roadster.
I have a large selection of Model A parts to barter with.
I am looking for a Roadster body, Dropped front axle, running flathead, and brake parts.
Smal list of what I have available: ( as well as lots of small parts that will be on a "ask if I have it" basis)
31 Model A truck. Basically a rolling chassis not assembled front axle, bed, body, frame(no horns) Drivetrain available
Various 4 cyl engines
4 truck bodys
a few front wishbones
a few radiator shells
various light bars and lights
Delivery truck rolling chassis and drivetrain (1ton?) no bed
4 door body (unknown year at this time)
lots of OE wheels
etc etc
Parts are not at my location so please give a few days for response.
My lingo may be off, so please dont flame
would prefer to barter, not sell.
All parts are New Mexico Stored for many years.
My father is a restorer.
Pics available, ask me if I have it!

Well freight from New Mexico is not cheap, but maybe you have some small parts. Trade is a problem for me since I only have one extra Model-A frame, useless except as a pattern. I have 4" stroker crank for a flathead V8 with rebuildable rods and an aluminum single-pot intake for a flathead. I also have a '50 Merc flywheel and used pressure plate (rusty). I am building what is so far a totally reproduction '29 roadster but I would like some original parts. How about a rear tire mount for a spare? Maybe the iron bar mount for a fenderwell spare, left and/or right?
So far I don't see you mention anything close in value to the stroker crank which is worth at least $250 as is with rods (you can get a new one from Speedway Motors but not that cheap!). I might be interested in buying a headlight bar outright but I don't have anything else to trade. How about the single-pot (truck) aluminum flathead intake for a headlight bar?
