Am I the only one who can't figure out what he wants?

Chris, you are not alone.

I typed Timken ford, images and there were pictures of a white dual axel dual tire truck,???

[fordman88]

that would explain the "3 axle" part...
if thats the case, i would love to have one also hahaha
i have looked at a lot of the old tandem axle kits and wish i could find or make one!!

I found 2 photos of the white AA with 2 rear axles. It is in Russia! Too bad there is not more research on the Model A and AA Fords that Henry showed the Russians how to build. It seems the AA Ford was the most common truck in Russia in the 1930's. I will try to post the link here:

It says 1929 but obviously it is mid-1930 or '31 model. The Russians probably kept on building these for some years after 1931.

I think the Russian GAZ AA was built into the early 50's, see these links

Bob, I followed your links. Lots if fascinating information there!
Russia built the GAZ-AA from 1932 to 1950. Amazingly the same as an American AA Ford. Over 1 million produced! Apparently few exist today however. I guess there are not that many antique truck collectors in Russia.
For a few years they built the GAZ-AAA which was a 3 axle, 2 ton truck. Production figure is 37373. It seems to be the "Ford-Timken".
During WW2 Lend-Lease America shipped 167373 4WD Chevrolet trucks to Russia which they called G7107 & G7117.
(the production figure is suspiciously similar to GAZ-AAA figure. Russian stats are always problematical).
Also, after Packard was done building the 1941 models, the dies etc. were shipped to Russia. The Russians gave the car a Russian name and it was the luxury car for the politically connected for many years. One was "captured" during the Korean war and brought to the US.

Several aftermarket companies made dual axle conversions for the AA. Here is one I saw at the Turlock swap meet a couple years ago.

If you could be a bit more clear on exactly what you are looking for it would be helpful.

Guys:
I think I found a photo of what he's looking for. GAZ-AAA truck was the triaxial variation of GAZ-AA (truck based in the American truck Ford-Timken). Here's a website with several great photos of them.

Think it's going to be hard to find one unless he's in Russia or Germany.

This is a very rare car in Russia. Their remains no more than 10 pieces. Recently found another one.
