My brother in law and Father in Law swear that it is a 1929.
Also, the car museum in syracuse, Kansas which is 15 miles from Holly, Co. has a 29 and says that this one is a 29.
I don't have the 1930 Model Year Introduction Date, but believe it was late '29. Many States used the Calendar year as the year they put on the title regardless of what the manufacturer says, so a 1930 model sold in 1929 could be titled as a 1929. What's your title say?
This link and info says that the Model is an International or a Universal, the series is an AC or AD, it also says that the number 5 is Kansas City plant.
The Filling Station is only giving part of the story. The AC & AD Models are passenger cars and 1/2 ton trucks. The 1-1/2 ton trucks in 1929 are Series "LQ" and in 1930 they are "LR" with two wheel brakes and "LS" with 4 wheel brakes.
The tech paper that peggy linked me to says that the four wheels with brakes was changed in 1930, but not as an option.
4 wheel brakes was a mid year change and was not an option.
Heres what you said above. Did you just have a typo?
Your engine casting number is for a (1930) engine with a date code of J 9 9;
J = Month (August)(I don't believe they used the letter I)
9 = day
9 = year (1929)
Is it a 29 or 30?
Nope it's not a typo, you have a 1930 model year engine that was cast in 1929. They did use "I" (eye) so the letter J = October.
I don't mean to seem so dumb. But I'm not getting it.
There must be subtle differences between the two
Also, the dash in mine doesn't have as complete a dash as the dash and dash gages in the pictures of the 1930 tech sheet that Peggy sent me.
Uhggggg!!!
Are the pictures of a Series LR or LS?
