johnfromstaffs ◊ 2009-02-14 12:45	Not easily. YA 1947 to 1951, YB Autumn 1951 to 1953. YB has 15 inch road wheels, a hypoid bevel final drive, twin leading shoe brakes and a front anti-roll bar. Looks to be a YB if you look at the wheel/tyre size ratio. 16 inch wheels would have looked a bit thinner. -- Last edit: 2009-02-14 12:57:53
