Did Pickups have AA engines?

Post by Mrbilman »

on occasion I see a Pickup advertised with an AA serial number. We're some Pickups built with the heavier AA clutch / AA engine?

The answer to your question is complicated by the fact that so many people are calling a one and a half ton chassis truck a pickup. If you are referring to the light chassis pickup, they were probably not built with AA engine/trans assemblies.

I wonder if a lot of AA's weren't cannibalized for their cabs, engines and titles to build pickup trucks?

I'm thinking maybe if the car or pickup had the 4-speed installed at
the factory in late 31 they may have had an AA number.

That sounds quite feasable. Especially, since Henry liked to use stuff up.
