Re: Judging standard history…. March 1969 MARC standards. 23 pages, fairly vague. Two comments stand out. No chrome plating of engine components, no metallic paint colors, though it does list color schemes and upholstery types

There is a technical article on the ford vintage. VFF. The link I had provided does not work, so I have removed it. This is the most informative and easy to follow article that I have seen, concerning the adjustment of the cab and doors on the A and AA truck cabs. Although it is written...

Before you bolt the torque tube up, be sure to pack that u-joint cavity full of grease. It takes a fair amount of, and it’s easiest to fill it first. Yes, the forward grease zerk on the torque tube is for the u-joint. Best Regards, Stewart

Geezer, CW Moss Ford Parts shows they have the step plate emblems you are looking for. Search their site for part #. A-16400-E. I tried to reply to your want ad directly, but for some reason, the site wouldn’t let me. Best Regards, Stew

For the past couple of days, when I want to look at any of the For Sale or Wanted areas of Ford Barn, I get ‘403 Forbidden’ . I am logged in, what’s up with that ?

82-B cabs did not come with an inside mirror, only a driver side door hinge mounted mirror, which used a number of different brackets, depending on the application. There is much truck information at www.aafords.com At the site, choose the following, in order. ‘Site Info’ ‘Index Body Details’...

Snyder’s Antique Auto lists a DVD for this. Part #. A-18801-L. $24.95 It was produced by the Diablo A’s club. I have not seen it. Snyder’s Top replacement kits for the AA also come with instructions, that you can view on their website.

Re: Books on “AA” trucks Two I’d recommend. 1. Ford Truck Owner by A.G. Mc Milan. 280 pages of Ford truck specifications for 1928 - 31. Also shows truck bodies, etc., available at that time. 2. Ford Trucks since 1905. Year by year info on models, yearly changes, etc. from...

Werner, I know that it can be done. Many years ago, I had a cousin who worked in stained glass, making windows for churches, etc. I had a similar mirror, but the glass was broken. He was able to cut and bevel a replacement glass, and somehow removed the silvering from the back, and did a...

30-31 style has this type of venting.

Smith and Jones Model A parts have them listed on their website. www.snjparts.com

I bought a set for my ‘31 AATruck from Snyder’s , I compared them to the originals, and they were spot on. I don’t know if all venders handle blocks from the same provider, or if Snyder’s makes their own. I also bought reinforced rubber belting from Tractor Supply to make my own pads. I don’t...

We now end our broadcasting day, and bid you a pleasant good evening.

This is from the January 1931 Service Bulletins. It also describes servicing the AA rear axle, among other things. If you don’t have a copy, you should get one. Very helpful book. Hope this helps
