Hi everyone, I'm building a trailer for my AA truck and I'm using a modern electric brake axle with eight lug hubs. I'm trying to make it look period correct so I want to use some extra AA wheels that I have. I know I can get someone to make custom adapters, but I was just wondering - Does anybody k...

Hey Guys, Got my engine together and have been running it lightly for a short time now. As I run through the gears, I am getting a knocking sound. It begins knocking in first gear just as I'm about to shift to second, then again as 2nd is topping out and about to go to third, it knocks, then the sam...

Well, I took it all out...wasn't that bad. There looks to be a stop on the rear knuckle like you said. The gear on the back of the transmission is showing little to no wear but the driveshaft coupling is another story. I think someone before me replaced the gear but used the old coupling. There's a ...

Thanks Keith, I bet you're right. I'll check that when I pull it. Look forward to meeting you.

Is that collar a disc? Is it a C ring type of clip? In other words: If mine doesn't have the stop, is it something easily fabricated? I've searched online high and low and can't seem to find these parts, so once I get everything out I'm taking them to a local machine shop and see if they can make so...

Will do.

So how many of you will I see at the Fall Meet in Hershey PA October 8th thru the 12th?

Thanks, I hadn't thought of using cardboard or masonite but that's a good idea. Oh, and duct tape!...no tool box is complete without duct tape. I had a friend (late) who would say "beat to shape, file to fit, and paint to match".

I appreciate it.

If your going to replace the coupling shaft I would go with the service
replacement one with the u-joint at both ends.

Any idea where I could get this?

Thanks for replying. A picture is truly worth a 1000 words. Yeah, I'm about as far ahead as you can get. Guess I'll be cracking it open again though. Since I'm going to get back into all that I'd like to replace the gear and drive shaft coupler as well. Anyone know where I can get those things or wi...

I think I might have screwed up on something. I saw a picture somewhere of the gear on the back of a 4 spd transmission that had a cone shaped bolt head with a spring on it. It looks like it's supposed to help center the driveshaft coupler? I'm not sure what the spring is for, maybe to keep the driv...

Hi All, I want to put a rear bumper on my truck. The brackets are there just screaming for the perfect bumper. I don't want to go with just a piece of channel iron. I want it to have a little design. I've looked at hundreds, maybe thousands, of images online and I didn't realize until now that most ...

Hey guys, I got my tires, flaps, and tubes today. Maybe something of possible interest here. Something I noticed with the tubes right away. The valve stems are straight and about 4 inches long. I was told these were the tubes for the AA. But they weren't going to work. The stems were so long they wo...

Thanks everyone,
Any advice on the flaps and tubes?

That's a nice looking tire. Do you happen to know off hand how many ply it is?
