The stripe on a 79A is on the flat part of the sheetmetal not the reveal
moldings as is comman on MOdel A'. The stripe outlines the panel. There are lots
of Ford Archive pictures showing the correct stripe, most were in the Model A
News article in the late '60's - early '70's on 79A's, reprinted in G.
DeAngelis' book.
Looking at some pictures in the Photo section a couple other things come to
mind. The interior flat painted surfaces were masonite, or masonite like
material, not wood. The headliner if you want to call it that, ie. the interior
side of the roof, was also masonite, not chicken wire. Rough side was out,
covered by the sheetmetal.
The truck we had was restored from a nice original built in October 1929,
finished the restoration in 1975. Pictures are under Jim & Pat's Delivery. It
may not be correct per the Judging Standards but it was as close as I could make
it to the way it was made. Too bad Henry didn't have the Judging Standards to go
by.
