    IMG_4716.png Using the Tudor doors and cowl is GENIUS! Way better than extending the cab. Moving the box back provides room for the longer doors, without having to lengthen the frame.

    "26-"27 Model T Tudor doors will interchange with '28-'29 pickups. Not sure if Model T coupe doors are the same.

    Lots of folks seem to be confused by the interchanges. The 26-7 coupe and tudor doors are the same size as the 28-9 truck. But there are some minute details that aren’t the same. Hinges change a little, latches have at least two variations, and the inner panel changes to correspond with the latches.

    The 28-9 tudor doors are totally different from the truck doors and don’t readily fit. The 26-7 truck doors are not the same as 28-9 truck doors either.

    The T and A doors are slightly different but I meant that they would bolt up and will fit.

    302 Ford w/toploader, 2 1/2” recess. Interior floor was stock except for small crescent moon shaped section added to the bottom of the toe board

    The 351 “Windsor” is only slightly different than the 302
    A “Cleveland” 351 is definitely a larger combination
    I’ll probably get slammed because my
    engine/truck looks too much like a street rod.

    Whatever…
