dear REM, i am a 37 year body repairman and cut my teeth on model a's. my most recent resto was a 29 pickup. i do not know exactly what a 82a is, (square cab or late style) but i know 29 doors well. if you need advice on the 29/early 30 type then fire away. dick kinney U.P.

greetings old ern, there are many worm drive rears for 29's, but if you need that ratio for a bevel type rear,(the rare one),i have a nice assy for sale. good luck ,Dick Kinney. if nessary just leave a post here, I check in once or twice a week.

i am out of patience trying to find a tourque tube and shaft for my rearend, so i am going to sell it. first, i dont know what it is worth, but i know its rare. second, i would like to see someone here get it and not have to fight for it on ebay. i cannot manipulate photos into this computer so they...

i still ned to buy a tourqe tube and driveshaft for a 29 bevel gear rear end. it is different from a worm drive, and a 30-31 bevel rear, and does not share those parts. it looks like the regular model A car rear end but twice as big. as before i offered a finders fee of i think $100.00 and that stil...

bradshaw, thanks for your reply. i have studied the worm type outer tube and they are a completely different shape. i have not seen the inner drive shaft of a worm design but because of length differences, it could only contribute to the cut and splice solution. there is a man in Pa. that has the ex...

mr. scott , please be advised about interchanges of wheels. although the "bolt pattern" fits a given application , if the center hole does not hug the bearing hub you invite disaster. the lug bolts were never meant to carry all the loads the vehiles could encounter. happy motoring , dick k...

i had to sight match the underside of an origonal hood when i found myself in your position. i found an area of virgin color under a grease spot andknow it never was bleached by the sun. when the match was done the pigments were measured on a scale in grams. therefore the formula is repeatable at an...

hello dlbauer, my dad who passed 13 years ago was a avid model a nut and worshipped henry ford. he bought every book on the man and his cars he could find. he told me more than once that at the beginning of ww-ll the russians began fighting the war on horses. he said that henry gave or sold all the ...

chris, i too had to stick a warford in a 30 frame. i found the third x member to be in the right location for the rear mount of the warford with the simple addition of two extra holes. however i to had to use the go around 29 brake shaft, so i measured and drilled the thirty frame to be the exact lo...

what you need is an axle from a car as they are the same as early 29 AA's. be sure to keep your aa spindles, drums, wishbone, shocks etc as they are aa only. the bare axle beam, king pins, and spring perches, will interchange from a to aa. if there is something i forgot please hold out for a more ex...

hello hkdude, this is dick kinney in michigan. i am not one of the brains on this site but maybe i can help you sort out something. i have never even seen a "dual hi unit" except for drawings. what i do know is the warford over/under drive,cause i been inside of one a little. the gear shif...

:( hi buckwheat, glad to hear your recent sucess with the motor. after the way you told that one i wish i was there to wittness it. i havent been in a deal like that since me and dad tried to fire one up on the floor, out of the frame. it took fire right away too but we knocked it off cause we blew ...

i have a 29AA rear end that is shortened for a doodlebug and need to make it long again. it is not a worm type, it is a 29 beveled type, that is to say it fits the 6 spoke wheels and looks like the regular model a rear, but is twice or three times as big. the drums are 14", the backing plates a...

Hi Buckwheat, this is dick from the up. hey i just refurbed a 29 c/c pickup this summer at work and the owner got all his wood from macks, it took roughly an hour to tune it in,but went in ok.this included the door post , complete roof wood and seat back sticks. after seeing some of the compound cur...
