Re: Hello from the great white north
Welcome to you and your fine looking late '30 or early '31 AA truck!
So what's with the "racing A" engine on the back?
BTW don't forget to give us some info on yourself in your "profile".

Re: Hello from the great white north
I'm from New Brunswick. The picture was taken a few weeks ago and the old truck I just got it in December 2014. I,ve been trying to by it for the last 23 years. The restoration was completed in 1990 and I put the first 4 miles on it when i drove it home in December.

The engine on the back is just something I put together this winter. It looks good on the bed. It runs and idles good.

Re: Hello from the great white north
Congrats on the truck! Nice to see the east coast represented.
I carry a few spares to, but not an engine...........maybe I should?

Re: Hello from the great white north
Spare parts are always good!
I was wondering were I could get by a rebuild kit for the u joint. I have a vibration when a lay of the gas at 25 mph.
Thanks

"Looks to be a Late '30."
Can't see the radiator shell badge in the pics, although I think Henry used up some leftover blue badges on some AA's in early '31.

Hello,it has a black emblem on the shell. I guess some trucks from Canada had a different color.

Re: Hello from the great white north
I think the truck was built after August. It has the round speedo in the dash panel.
