Hello Ray,
I would like to see the pictures. I didn't see these AA's when I was there many years ago. If you happen to have these pictures in high resolution, please send them to my email.

I for got the front spring! It is unique (heaver leaves and 12 of them). [b]AA Front End Parts (prior to February 15th 1929)[/b] (1) AA-5310 – Front spring assembly (12 leaf with each leaf being an AA part except leaf #12 = A spring leaf #10) (2) AA-5330 – Front spring clamp (2) AA-5455 – Front spri...

Hello Stakebed, Below is a parts list of the AA front end parts for '28/'29. Parts not listed are A parts. Your March truck should have the "after February 15th 1929" parts. [b]AA Front End Parts (prior to February 15th 1929)[/b] (2) AA-1105 – Front hub and brake drum assembly (all right h...

For an early '30 AA it would most likely have had '30/'31 commercial head lights off the assembly line (see picture). These are the same as for the '30/'31 A passenger car except the buckets are plain steel and were painted black (A passenger car buckets are stainless steel). The rims are stainless ...

Yep, the easiest fix for "your '28" truck is to call it a 1930! Given that it has the flat #4 cross member, then the front and rear ends (plus wheels) are correct for 1930. The cab mirror location is correct for late '28 through mid '30. The cab, hood, fender, and aprons are correct for la...

Note that I have a May 1930 (A3310631) 79-A panel delivery which has the threaded gas cap as well as a threaded radiator cap. My information is that the gas cap was sometimes the twist style but not the radiator cap on the 1930 commercial (with '29 style cabs). Given the month of my 79-A, I am guess...

Bruce, It is likely that you have an early 1930 AA (not a 1928 AA). The front end on your truck is for a '30/'31. The brake drums are the same size as the rear brake drums. This style of front end has a wider front spring than the '28/'29 AA's and requires a '30/'31 front cross member. The #4 cross ...

There is no welt between the front fender and the running board. The running board is designed so that there is a space between the two parts (allows water to drain and allows junk to collect).

Here are more pictures of the front fender welt installation.

Okay s147881,
I happen to have some pictures of installing some front fender welt on a truck with the 82-A closed cab. There is a limit to three attachments per note. So, here are three pictures. I will add more in another note.

Hello s147881, If your truck is like the picture in your message, then it has the 82-B cab (started after about June 1930). Otherwise, your truck would have the 82-A cab and be the same as a '29 as far as the radiator, hood, and related sheet metal. If you can post a picture of your truck, then it c...

Ford did not offer a vacuum assist. I have seen one AA chassis which had a vacuum set up.

Later wheels (late 1933 to ???) have a larger bolt pattern and center hole. The rim on these wheels are the same size as the 1930 through 1933 wheels. So, it could be possible to unrivet the rims and use the centers from a 1930 AA wheel. The later wheels used a solid lock ring and I would believe th...

Club member Anders Jansson (in Finland) is in the process of making the sleeve style frame spacers. He sent me some samples. I used one for the photo shoot in the newsletter. He will make a couple of different lengths. For those lengths not made, a longer one can be cut down. I was hoping that Ander...

Hello Phil, For 1930 and 1931 Ford provided 6:00x20 tires (front and rear) for dual wheel trucks. Trucks with single rear wheels were provided with 6:00x20 front tires and 32x6 high pressure rear tires. The 32x6 size terminology translates to 6:00x20. The six is the tire height (inside dimension). S...
