Recently acquired this gem. 1930 AA flatbed, dual wheels. Excellent mechanical shape; body unrestored. Only gauge remaining in the cluster is the ammeter, which works. First thing I want to do is restore the instrument cluster.

Re: Newbie: 1930 AA flatbed dualie
NIce rig with great patina! I like the support strap rigged to hold the running board up. Are the deck stakes made of wood? I would love to see a picture of the inside of the racks for ideas for mine. I do not have enough steel stakes to restore all my racks so I may just us wood stakes for now. Again nice truck, make her safe and put her to work!

Re: Newbie: 1930 AA flatbed dualie
The Ammeter, Fuuel gauge, and Speedometer are the only gauges it has. Speedometers can readily be found on eBay.

Re: Newbie: 1930 AA flatbed dualie
Is the running board a wood board? Seems like someone took the term "board" a bit too literally.
What about the other side? I'm sure someone in this forum could help you find original running boards.
Also, please put in your "profile" a clue as to your location.

Those running boards are FORD'S original diamond metal running boards. Also welcome to the AA club Rick, very nice AA to enjoy and-or restore. Shelby, Sacramento.
