When did they stop using the wooden blocks between the fenders and running boards?

Thanks,
Stephen

They were used on the 1927 Model T.

1921?

The vendors parts catalogs offer 8 piece block sets with usage through 1920.

Our October 26, 1926 ('27) T has blocks between the running boards and the support brackets but not between the running boards and the fenders. If it is supposed to have them there, i don't know anything about it.

RB Blocks- https//www.modeltford.com/item/4822B.aspx price slightly higher than original 4/twenty cents.

For '26-'27, front fender flange mounts to running board flange, no blocks
