Re: 6 volt vs 12 volt system

Does anyone know if there are higher wattage 6V headlamp bulbs that can be used in an 6V system? Also, what is the current rating for the original generator? I would think you could get more than enough brightness out of the original system if it is set up optimally.

Re: 28-30 vs 30-31 radiator splash shield

Thanks, I should have thought of that. So now I know that the splash shield won't work on my truck. :( If anyone wants a 30-31 splash shield, there is one here in western WA. He is asking $10 for it.

28-30 vs 30-31 radiator splash shield

I need a radiator splash shield for my '29, and have located one that is from a 1930 truck. I know they changed the style about mid-1930, but I don't know exactly what changed. Does anyone have any pictures of the differences between the two styles so I can be sure to get the correct one for my truc...

Re: 4 sale Spring perches, Shackles, King pin bolts

I am not sure if the AA perches are heavier duty, but the ball sits higher on the AA perch than the A's perches did. I know this picture doesn't show it very well, but notice how the ball is not in line with the top of the perch, it is higher, almost at the same height as the hole where the front br...

Re: 1916 AA (who'd a thunk) for sale

This is a BRAND-NEW model AA! Hasn't even been released to the public yet. Maybe they tried to update the year and goofed - now says "2016 ford model aa"!

Re: High speed rear end gears

The number of teeth on the brass gear divided by the number of teeth on the spiral gear determine the ratio. High-speed rear ends have 31 teeth on the brass gear and 6 teeth on the spiral gear. 31/6=5.166666666 or 5.17:1 ratio. Low speed rear ends have 29 teeth on the brass gear and 4 teeth on the s...

Re: Floor mats?

So what range of years are the floor mats interchangeable? Will these 30-31's fit in a 28/29?

1930 AA for sale near Seattle

I don't know the seller, but saw this and thought I would pass it on to anyone interested. Hate to see the old iron go to waste or recycle.

Re: rear end ID

I posted in the other thread as well, but here is a link to some pics I took of my rear diffs that show the stampings for both the A and B (low and high speed respectively) rear ends.

Re: rear end ID

I posted some pictures of the stampings on my two rear differentials - both are '29s. One is a high speed and the other is a low speed. Here is the link:
