I second that desire for affordable hub caps. I am not motivated to buy caps for more that I paid for the tire!

Besides the clever answers, ha ha, does anyone have some old rusty beat up ones I could pound into shape and spray paint silver? I just need two.

I read in an old brochure from 1928 that the AA was rated 1 1/2 tons with singles, 2 1/2 tons with duals, although Ford did not supply duals at that time. The frame is stout and the springs are tough. i have to load two tons just to get the truck level, and my body weighs about 1200 lbs. Does anyone...

I am curious what motivates people to switch the charging system. I once was told by a Model A car driver that I must not drive my truck if I use the old 6-volt generator. While its true I only put a few hundred miles on a year, I have never had a problem that I could blame on the generator or the v...

Now I don't profess to be an expert, but that looks like a 1929 with the 28/29 style axles. Nothing wrong with that, but the 1930 with this cab had the wider axles that took duals on the rear.

I am not a tire expert, but all tires are not created equal, even when they are called by the same numbers. This is a truck tire and is not dimensioned like the existing 7.00-20 car tire they sell. I don't know that it would fit duals, but that is not what I have. I would not put it on the front, ei...

Thank you for the kind words. I examined lots of pictures to come up with a design for the tailgate. Myself I like the steel spoke wheels, so I am destined to have singles. But...if my singles can combine for 6300 lb capacity it will be almost as good as duals. I did once back it onto my lawn with 4...

More info, if anyone is interested.

Action shot for reference.

A bit of information that I got from Coker Tire. At the end of October, they will have a new tire from Firestone. A truck tire 7:00-20. 35.00” diameter, 8 ply with a load rating of 3150@90 PSI. $230.00 each. Currently they only have 7.00-20 car tires. I am tempted to put a pair on my rears, but I ne...

By the way, I think I used good old fashioned woven asbestos that my father had from way back.

If I can thow in a comment. I can stop my AR version 1928 AA Dump Truck empty, or loaded with two tons. I do need more planning when its loaded and I can push pretty hard. I also changed the front pads myself. Just want you to know that it can work. My wife can stop it empty. Hang in there.

What makes it rare is it was only used for 28 & 29. A six bolt will not work. The SAE Six bolt was used from '30 through today. I now have one but others on site would be interested. If you truly find a four bolt remember your friends here.

Here is a site with some interior pictures.

By the way, what size tires do you have one the rear of that '29? I've considered stepping up a size for more payload. I am running 6.50x20 rears and 6.00x20 in the front on my '28 dump truck.

Very nice truck. Thanks for the picture.
