early 28 aa front end

Post by Ford Truck Nut »

My Front end on my truck Is in sad shape, the axle itself is bent, the springs are flattened and have been repaired, kingpins wishbone and spring pearches are all worn out. Other than the hubs is the front end the same as a car?

Assembly line 1928 AA's - front end assembly AA parts:

springs, clips, clip plate
spring perches
spindle connecting rod
hub and drum assemblies
spindle bolt lock pins (wheel stops are longer)

Many (most) 1928 AA's were converted to the 1929 AA spindles. This resulted in different hub and drum assemblies as well as the bearings.

The remaining parts are A.

Anyone see something I missed?
Regards, Neil Wilson

Not that I am aware of. My early 28 has A backing plates as far as I can tell.
