Re: Tires for my '30 AA dump truck
I'm sure they will work on the rear, running singles only. I wouldn't use anything bigger than 6.00 on the front for brake rod clearance. The big tires on the back may give the truck a slight rake, but you will get the advantage of tire diameter to give you a poor man's high speed rearend. Will the...

Tires for my '30 AA dump truck
I have been having a problem finding some affordable 600 X 20 tires for my truck. I came up with four new old stock Firestone 750 X 20 tires with tubes and liners. Has anyone tried using this size on Model AA truck like mine? Maybe just on the rear. It looks as though I would have fender and steerin...

Re: Good sheet metal
Bill - have a great time and enjoy.
The old rust can wait and is not worth getting worked up over.

Re: Look what followed this Newbie home the other day !
Well I got the fender on and the adjustments made and welded back together. Actually I think this right fender is in better shape then the original left fender. Both are pretty rough. Also repaired the left door hendges that someone had torched off, and patched the bottom quarter of the door with so...

Re: Look what followed this Newbie home the other day !
That is good news that an A fender will fit the AA truck. I think I might be able to come up with one of those.

Re: Look what followed this Newbie home the other day !
Regarding the fender that is missing - I have a couple '27 Essex Coupe fenders and just for kicks I compared and held in place the Essex fender to the AA. To my surprise it is very close. With a little welding and splicing alomg the frame mount it would work and be passable for the original fender. ...

Re: Look what followed this Newbie home the other day !
Shelby - Thanks for the input and encouragement. To put this body back complete I am going to need a right fender and a drivers door. The fender is missing and the door is rusted off several inches at the bottom. Also, the previous ower cut the door hendges off (the door portion) with a torch for so...

Re: Look what followed this Newbie home the other day !
Shelby - I'm not sure I understand what you are saying. Do you think the back of my cab was added on to the original '30 AA cab? I can't see any signs of it being change but I will look closer if you think it does not look original to the truck.
Thanks
Jim

I'm not aware of it being anything but original, but I suppose it is possible. What makes you think in may be a car body?manyolkars wrote:Was your cab made from a passenger car body?
