I am curious how many weight classes of trucks there were. Was it like today with F-150, F-250, F-350? I'm getting conflicting info concerning my truck, I thought it was the same as any AA truck,but somebody mentioned that my truck is a heavy duty AA. The front springs don' match anything. They are ...

I have a good hood and radiator shell available if someone needs one, for a 1929. They were stripped to bare metal and red oxide primer brushed on in 1954, there is surface rust coming trhough primer.

I measured some springs, the 13 leaf was 2 5/8" and the 14 was 2 15/16".

Bob

Mine measure 2 1/4", Are you talking about the height of the stack or the width of the leaf?

I'm trying to figure out why my truck only has 10 leafs, the first 3 on the bottom are much thicker than the top 7, if I put a 13 leaf on it, it will Jack up the front end! I think I will just take mine to the local spring shop and have them replace the broken leaf and refresh the set with new bushi...

Starting January 1930, the AA used a front spring which was the same width as the A chassis rear spring. I suggest you know what you need before taking to a vendor tech. Same goes for b...

Mac's doesn't have a clue. "A" Springs has the one you need. http://www.a-springs.com/4b.html

I went to this site, they say it is 14 leaf, but mine is 10 leaf. You guys are great library of information on these trucks, thank you for your help!

I ordered a front leaf spring from Mac's, the tech told me that the A and AA were the same part#. Well, when it arrived, it is 1/2" skinnier in the width, as are the shackles. My truck measures 2 1/4" wide, the new spring set is 1 3/4". Can someone clue me into what I'm dealing with h...

This was what it looked like when I bought it

I can't post photos that I took with my phone!

Bob C, well this all makes sense now, I knew the dump body was 1930 because there was no hydraulics prior to that, The 4 speed tranny also had me confused as well as the Budd wheels, I thought maybe somebody had upgraded it at some point, but this was a one owner truck prior to my purchase. The roof...

Why do you say early 30 truck? The door pillar changed in 30, I bought this as a 28
