I'm not an expert on AA WHEEL wheel removal but I don't think all that much heat is helping because you don't want all of the heat transferring to the axle because it will expand along with the hub. Also I would use the old wheel to transfer the hole pattern to a piece of steel at least 1/2" th...

Sorry to hear of your sad situation. It is/was a fine looking vehicle and although it suffered quite a lot of damage it should be repairable.

Does your dis-assembled AA157 include a 185-A platform and a set of the 186-B stake racks?

It does include a platform and stake racks, I'll have to check to see if its the exact ones you mention.

That's discouraging, I was thinking about trying to sell my complete, un- assembled 31 - 157 stake for
$1500

Dang, this truck was one of the only trucks on this website that actually still hauled loads (past photos)
Guess its still working, sort of a retirement type job indoors.

Dave, don't get discouraged, nothing sells on this forum.
