Re: new member

I think Russell was asking about the pedals, not the plate and disk.

Did I get that wrong?

Thanks for the info about the larger disc...

Re: regarding the rear springs

Hey tt, There was an A-Frame of about 20 feet mounted just forward of those cracks. Along with a monster winch (see photo) the truck was last used for as a yarder to pull Redwood and Doug Fir logs off of Nor Cal Mountains. I have since carefully cut and ground all those bits off to bring the frame b...

Re: Paint or coat before/ after assembly?

The parts lists are not going to help on the finish for the Cab hardware. If I have the cab disassembled, I would want to get a good primer on all of the connection areas before assembly (even though Ford did not). Ford had the complete cab assembled with the wood before any painting. This excludes...

Paint or coat before/ after assembly?

In the post about "Cab inner back photo's", Mike's inner cab is painted after the wood slats are in place. (it's beautiful, BTW) I am wondering what the protocol is in general regarding painting individual parts, then assembling so the newly treated hardware shows, or do you put it togethe...

Re: Old ICC License Plates from AA?

Hello Neil, how about based on chassis serial number, you probably have gone over this before.

Is their a vehicle registry, maybe for fleet sales?

I have been told it was built in 32 for the US Mail, as a 31.

Re: Old ICC License Plates from AA?

Dave: It sounds as if your truck has been altered several times. Are there any former parts on the truck that are no longer being used, like, let's say brackets on the rear portion of the frame? Or, long running boards that seem like they're not needed. Or, rear fenders? Hydraulic lines? A P.T.O. t...

Re: Old ICC License Plates from AA?

Thanks, I found that out also, and I traced it to a US Gov site that requires some sort of search of the National Archives, which I attempted and struck out.

They even sent me an e-mail explaining I would have to hire some sort of advocate to search for me.

Don't ya just love it?

Re: Old ICC License Plates from AA?

No Problem, thanks for trying to help. Maybe I just thought that with as much expertise there is here regarding AA's that someone would know. I just can't help thinking that many of the AA's that hauled goods must have had these plates. I even see them on ebay for sale, but they don't seem to know a...
