Stakebed - If I am incorrect, someone please chime in and correct me. But as far as I know, the carriers are the same for the high-speed and the low speed. The worm and the ring gears are whats different when comparing one ratio to the other. The high speed has 31 teeth on the ring and 6 on the worm...

Chris, I think Red probably clicked on one of the the photos above and viewed the folder with the other 40+ photos. The worm drive is seen there. - Elfox

Yup 131" wheel base, and I am sure those students felt every bump along the way... definitely a school of "hard knocks!"

Have anyone seen where the rear spring clamps are rotated on the rear axle? Just wondering how they could get that way???

The weather held out, and I was able to take many pictures of the 29 School Bus. Here are two of them. I believe that if you click on one of the pictures below, it should take you to the folder where the remaining 41 pictures are located. Leave comments please! - Elfox http://i1132.photobucket.com/a...

I didn't find out that it was a school bus until I talked to the previous owner. I don't plan on restoring it as a school bus, but plan on using it for parts for my other '29. The bus has a high-speed rear end, and some other miscellaneous parts I needed. It was a really good bargain, especially onc...

I didn't come right out and say it, but yes I did buy the school bus. Here is the original ad, but please don't call the seller, as I have already bought it. There is really nothing left of the bus body, unfortunately. http://seattle.craigslist.org/kit/pts/4042603652.html Also please note the intere...

I found an ad for a '29 AA on craigslist today, so I drove an hour to check it out. Found out it is a '29 Ford school bus. It has a 4-speed transmission (AA-7060 is what is stamped on it I think) which I didn't know was an option in '29? This thing has alot of peculiar iron on it, like frame extensi...

Thanks for the advice. I don't have the matching (worn) female end to this spline, and I would rather not mess up the female spline that is currently installed in my truck by using this male end before it is fixed. This worm was purchased only recently, in hopes to install the high-speed gear set in...

Spectria - This is the only pic I have at the moment of the pinion gear. It appears to be in good shape. I don't know that I would trust my abilities enough to try and weld up and file down the splines myself. I don't think I have enough talent to keep the shaft from warping while welding. I can cou...

Spectria - I don't have the female spline that fits onto the worn spline shown here. Is that what you need a pic of? Or do you want a pic of the end near the thrust bearing?

Actually, the driven gear is in really good shape, along with all the bearings. The driven gear still has allot of life left in it. I think this wear on the splines was caused by water intrusion into the area of the spline, as it is/was really rusty. The brown area is all oil-soaked rust.

I just bought a high-speed rear diff, and the spline obviously needs some work. I have talked to a machine shop, and the repairs could get pricey. Does anyone know of a reputable business that does this kind of repair? Thanks, Elfox http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m561/elfox1/High%20Speed%20rear...

I saw this ad on craigslist, and thought I would post it here - I am sure someone out there wants a PTO.

He is asking $250 for the engine/tranny, not sure if he would remove the PTO and sell it separately.

A couple weeks ago, the wife and I decided to visit Tillamook National Forest, and found this AA at the front doorsteps of the Tillamook Forest Center. It was a nice surprise on our tour of the park! http://i1132.photobucket.com/albums/m561/elfox1/20130714_142020_zps3c191d25.jpg http://i1132.photobu...

Hey fellow AA'ers - I was advertising to buy some AA parts on Craigslist, and I got a reply from a guy that wondered if I wanted to buy an entire truck. I have no idea what it looks like, or its condition, but it might be a steal. I asked if he wanted me to post it here for him and he agreed. If you...
