Re: AA Headlight conduits

Pretty sure that later AA's had headlight conduits like a wire loom with heavy coated woven fabric material; not metal. My original '31 AA has them. The Judging Standards say "Observe the condition, end ferrules, size and finish on metal conduits encasing wiring to the headlights and horn. The...

1930 AA - Former Beer Delivery Truck

Not mine but I found it on Craigs List in Phoenix. Interesting possibilities as a former beer delivery truck. I like the advertising panel just behind the cab - great patina! I have copied the wording of the ad and a photo in case Craigslist takes down the ad. Fred http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/...

That's a great Story Thank You. What Movies? Love to look for him! I can name them but unless you have been in a movie yourself you'd probably be disappointed - as many of you know who have provided vehicles to the movie industry or worked as extras, it's not always glamorous.

Henry, 1931 Steeltop Stakebed - 40,000 original miles

I was posting a reply to a question someone asked me on the Ford Barn about my AA and thought I'd share a couple of photos of my late '31 Steeltop Stakebed (indented firewall) here on the AA forum. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/809/moviebartlettextras.jpg Someone had seen this photo a...

Re: 1930 AA157 NOS Front Cross Member For Sale

Hi Chris, yep, it's a '30 (Neil Wilson confirmed it for me); part no. AA-5017. The Service Bulletins have a page devoted to the changeover - see Figure 1081 on page 528.

As shown above it has already sold and is on its way to North Carolina.

Thanks,
Fred

Want to find an original sidemount bracket for a '28-'29 Model AA Express bed. http://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/640x480q90/855/4iob.jpg It would have been riveted to the side of an Express box with a plate on the inside of the box for reinforcement.

Re: Steering

It depends on the year of your truck. The steering was the same for both regular Model A's and AA's and the 7-tooth steering assembly was used from introduction through March 1930; the 2-tooth sector first appeared in February 1929 and continued to the end of production. Either type is acceptable f...

Re: 6 volt vs 12 volt system

Hi, I converted my '30 Model A to 12 volt several years ago and love how quickly it starts now - you impress everyone at the gas station when you touch the starter and the engine fires up instantly. Also I converted to halogen headlight bulbs (hidden behind the original lenses) and it's like drivin...

Re: Info

No offense Chris but I agree with Neil Wilson - that red one is a Johnny Cash deal; looks like they mated two regular Model A pickup beds end-to-end.

Here's a photo of an actual '28 open cab Express truck.

Re: 1930 Model AA Engine and Transmission Worth

Peter:
Measure the wheelbase (where the tires touch the ground). Most Model AA's were 131-1/2 inches; some were 157 inches.
