Selling EArly 28 Fire Truck

I want to sell my early 28 w/fire truck body. The engine is needing a rebuild but does run and drive pretty well. It is not a show truck and needs more than I’m able. Too many projects. I’ve had it about 15 years. I’m going to start at $12K. I'm in Tulsa. If you are interested, please send me an ema...

Re: Carb float adjustment issue

Sounds like someone has bent the attachment arms on your float.
It should be adjusted with gaskets and not bent to get to the proper height.
There is lots to read on the net about carbs.

Miles Driven In 2014

I drove my AA 547 miles during 2014.
I should figure up how much gas that took.
Maybe I will do that in my spare time. :lol:
More fun when spring arrives.

Re: Engine & Tranny Wanted

Stakebed, that's a good question. I have never been inside any of my A or AA engines. I want to learn but also want to replace my tired engine along with my transimssion, which has a broken 1st gear. A fresh engine and tranny would be the best of all worlds.

Engine & Tranny Wanted

I would like to rebuild an engine for my 28 AA and have started searching for one that needs rebuilding. I would also like a complete clutch assy and transmission.
I have no clue what these units go for.

Fuel Filter

I’ve tried installing an inline fuel filter on the tube coming from the sediment bowl a couple of times with poor results. Seems the gas doesn’t run through the filter quick enough and the truck runs rough. The filter is about 1.5 diameter X 1.5 length. Anybody ever used a filter like this with bett...

Re: Wheel and Split Ring Wanted

I reviewed the wheels on ebay but I'm sorry to say I have never used ebay and guess I need to learn.

Re: Locking Ring

I have a hard time getting my arms around how they even got it off and then back on when I had my new tires put on.
So what I think I need is another complete wheel with ring to get it all right.
Anybody have a decent one for sale?

Locking Ring

I have had a solid locking ring on one of my rims. The others have the split. Now that I need to have the tube patched am not feeling all that happy using this solid ring. This is for my early 28 and I am now going to search for a replacement ring with the split. Anybody have a good one that I might...

I got the complete assembly in last night. I loosened up the spring perch nuts and freed the perched. I removed the spring and then put a piece of angle iron across the fronts of both perches to be sure they were straight w eachother. Installed the spring and left everything kinda loose. I put the s...
