Looking for Model A pickup bed parts(sides, post sockets, rear 'U' w/sockets, etc). Rusty, bent, incomplete OK! Yes, I'm on a budget, so I have to fabricate!! LOL! I live in Sacramento,CA., so 150mi+/-? 707-676-0222

Still looking! Does anybody have leftover parts from a PU bed 'build'? or a bed that's only good for parts? I'm looking for posts & sides & a rear frame to mount the tailgate against/into. Please, check your sheet- metal 'scrap-piles'!! see my previous post.

I don't see much point in trying to "make" a Model A pickup body for an AA. Why not spend your efforts making up an Express body and end up with something like original. The TT express body was basically the same size and design as the AA express body. And, the TT express is easier to find. I have a document covering the TT to AA express conversion (i.e. what are the differences).

We have a TT Bed, it actually came from up near Sacramento, it will probably end up on the back of one of our AAs. There is an AA express "clone" done with a TT bed near my brothers house, it looks nice and only the "experts" can tell its not an original.
