Hi All, I've been a member here for awhile but never had much to say but I just have to Shout Out today...... Finally after working off and on for the last 8 yrs or so I got the old truck far enough to fire up the old engine today..... ran nice and ran it for about 20 minutes... still needs a lot of...

Sorry I didn't get back to you sooner Neil, The bracket had been broken off flush with the edge of the gas tank and the steering column had been wired to the bolts along the upper dash to hold it up... Only the small flat part that was riveted to the gas tank remained. I'm not going for a perfect re...

Thanks, I will search further on this... and the tip to go to a different model clamp.... cliff

Now that I knew what to look for found it fast..... thanks again....

I need some help as to just what I should do.... I'm rebuilding a '29 Model AA and the bracket that holds the steering column to the underside of the dash/gas tank is broken. Only the piece that is riveted to the gas tank is still there. Can I weld something to this piece to make a bracket? I haven'...

Thanks everyone for the ideas... I had forgotten that i had the Les Andrew books and found that article.... lots of help there. Doors shut okay but the cab isn't quite square when measuring in the x pattern... will need to figure out how to square it a little better. Always something to keep the bra...

Hello all, I'm working on a '29 AA and ordered new top wood for the cab as there was none when I got this cab.... my question is do I have to modify the wood? It doesn't appear that it fits correctly without some cutting and refitting.... it's a AWD-1033 kit from Snyder's. I don't mind refitting and...

Thanks Bob, more than likely right as the AA spent it's life in western North Dakota.

Hi all, I've been a member for a couple of years but never got to starting on my old AA till this fall/winter. While working on the cab I found a number stamped into the center crossmember where the wood and metal floor pan meet. The number is TC10143, would this be a cab production number? It's dif...

It's too cold in ND to keep that up there... let me come get it> LOL

Great buy I'd say.

Bob C. Thanks for the snyder number... somewhere I had overlooked it....

Hi All Looked thru quite a few old posts but not sure what I found is what I was looking for :) I am in need of the two inside seals on the rear brake hubs and one bearing, I haven't seen them in my Snyders catalog but could have missed them. Any help on numbers or such would be appreciated. Also.. ...

Thanks.... I had soaked it overnight with some krano kroil oil and this afternoon it broke loose from the armature shaft... Looks like it will clean up okay.

Hi all, Started a rebuild on the starter today for the '28 AA. This starter has not been used in maybe 70 yrs. How does the bendix come off the armature shaft? Is it threaded on or just a push fit? The spring, tip and end bolts and shaft key came off just fine but the gear and threaded area the gear...

Let me clarify a little here... I have the engine upside down on an engine stand so no weight is on the cap of the main.. so being a newby at Model A's I don't understand how the center line would be affected by taking out some clearance... On the tinfoil method... I have tried that and yes, I think...

I am working on a '29 Model A engine and the front and rear mains are fine and within tolerance of .0015 clearance. The center main is at .004 with plastigage..... Is it acceptable to file the cap on a model A... seems I recall my dad doing that. I queried it and find info on filing the Model T caps...
