AA Stake Truck Rack Connectors

Post by KenJ »

I am trying to find rack connectors for my 1930 AA Stake truck that use 1/2 diameter pins to connect the panels instead on the over lapping offset plates like part numbers AA-88304 ad AA-88305. does any one know where these can be purchased?

Thanks

The type of connections you reference are shown in the article at https://aafordscom.ipage.com/aafords-pdf/187ae.pdf. The 189-A racks are for the 1931 187-A platform. A 1930 Stake Truck would have had an 88-A platform with 188-A racks. These racks did not use the hinged style connections.
