shocks on front end
I have a 1929 AA CCPU early on, it has the A front suspension. Do this come with front shocks, was that a oppision.
Re: shocks on front end
The 28-31 AA came equiped with front shock absorbers, part# A-18015-8
I believe your reference to CCPU is the Closed Cab Pick/up? Which is a Model A.

Re: shocks on front end
Only the AA's through 1929 came with front shocks. And the shocks are A parts. The spring perches are different for the AA and carry an AA part id.

Re: shocks on front end
Don't forget the shock arms are longer on the AA! Bob E.

Re: shocks on front end
Yea, I forgot that the arms are AA unique. And, there were several different designs.

Re: shocks on front end
I have heard that in 1931 some models of AA had front shocks. Hearse's and Parlor panels if I heard correctly.

Re: shocks on front end
As far as I know, some of the '31 AA's (like the ambulance) came with rear shocks.

Re: shocks on front end
Do you know what the part# is for the AA perches? I just realized I installed the wrong ones in my '29 AA truckNeil Wilson wrote:Only the AA's through 1929 came with front shocks. And the shocks are A parts. The spring perches are different for the AA and carry an AA part id.
Thanks in advance -

Re: shocks on front end
They are easily identified as there is an AA on them and the ball sits up higher than an A. They are hard to come by.

Re: shocks on front end
Hello Elfox,
The part # is AA 3030 AR, I do not see a # stamped on the one I have , the best way to know is they have AA stamped on them and the ball is set higher, see attached pic,------ Should you find an extra one let me know, I have every thing ready to install except one perch.
Regards Brian.
