Bump. Cool old truck!

1930 Ford AA 1 1/2 ton flatbed truck for sale. Nice barn find farm truck. Frame stretched to 183" with 1932 BB rear and springs. Cab very solid, minimal rust in doors and cowl. Frame and subrails good. Engine turns, but is not original to truck. Truck rolls and steers. Tires don't hold...

You'd have to change quite a bit. The radiators are different. The adapter to the front cross member would have to be removed to accept the 85 hp engine. The 60 hp transmission is small and would have to be swapped for the larger 85 hp box. The rearend is geared 4.44:1 which should also be...

The car serial number is stamped on the left frame rail by the steering box. The frame number on the 60 hp cars starts out 54-xxxxx. The number was also on the top center of the transmission bell housing. My car doesn't have the original trans in it as the trans number doesn't match the frame...

Here is proof that not all 60 hp cars had the tube. My mid-'37 60 hp sedan has the I-beam.

Doing a little work this winter on the '37. I need to rebuild the water pumps. Before that happened I freshened up the front suspension. The king pin bushing were worn pretty good. I happened to have a set of rebuilt spindles ready to go so swapped them on. I also installed all new tie rod...

The firemen at the show with a freshly restored '25 LaFrance fire truck really liked it. I am going to build a small Richfield station at my house to house the truck and some of my petrolia. I have a 60" Richfield sign, model 39 Tokeheim pump, and several other Richfield items. The station...

I am going to fab up some rear fenders soon. Probably will go from running board up to just over center of tires to keep most of the mud in check.

I was invited to attend the Oak Hill Invitational Car Show at Oak Hill Country Club last Sunday. Oak Hill is the private PGA course in Rochester, NY. Many very expensive high end cars in attendance...and my $800 homemade wrecker truck. Check out the puddle of rear main oil on the parking...

I agree. In my car club of over 140 people I am the third youngest at 38 yrs old. Most of the guys are 55 to 80. Same thing when I go to cruise nights. I'm the youngest guy there 99% of the time with a car older than 1970.

I'm slowly collecting everything to build an old Richfield gas station. This truck will be displayed at the station as a service truck. I got these repro Richfield decals and put them on the doors of the truck. I love the spread of the Eagle wings over the Richfield sign. I still need to...

I wouldn't trust any foreign tires on an old lawn cart much less on my valuable old cars. Go with one of the American companies that make them in the USA.

I shot a quick video of my tow truck when I was out running it around the other day. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKlE74JdGRQ

After cleaning the cowl tank and installing a new fuel bowl I was able to run down the road and shoot some outside shots. Engine runs well and even got the truck into 4th gear. There is a pretty wide ratio between 3rd and 4th! Those big rear tires really throw some mud with no...
