Ortho or Roundup for this AA

[Brother A]

Found this AA today. I was wondering if you would recommend Ortho or Round-up for the first step of this restoration

Why does the hood look so long?

Also, what does the little sign say? BTW, for me it ain't about the Ortho or the Round-up. I'd be more worried about Mr. Snake!!

It looks like a hood from something else that covers a little of the radiator and cowl. It looks like it has a 28/29 cowl with a '31 radiator shell.

If that is poison oak, crossbow may be better.

Also, what does the little sign say?

"1929 Model AA One Ton Ford Truck"

Notice that the sheet metal is 29 style, but look closely at the gas cap, it is a 1/4 turn late style cap. The headlamps are 30 style, the chassis has the budd wheels with the huge brakes. That all points to an early 30 AA, with the 29 style sheet metal, as was common until about june of 30. The hood is obviously from some other vehicle, probably a 30-31, as I can see the faint line of the reveal around the louvers.

That Coke sign is probably worth more than the truck, any American Pickers out there?

Well at least two.... my wife and I were picking blueberries there today.

Think of it as an AA chia-pet. Thanks for sharing the pic.

See post #5.

Now Clem you must write 100 times "I will read all posts in the future".

 

[Clem Clement]

Thanks. I missed that.

I say drive it as it is. You can't beat that kind of "patina" and you will get a lot of lookers!

 

[Clem Clement]

I also love Patina. Years ago there was had a 29 Packard attend local meets. When was placed next to a fully restored Packard, guess where the crowd was

How about leaving it as it is and just landscape around it..

Looks like a CHA CHA CHIA AA. I wonder how many bullet holes it has.

I would check for bullet holes but Brent has me worried about "Mr. Snake"
