    30-31 gas tank

    According to the JS its a Jan 1930 gas tank that was only produced in January before changes were made. Was blasted and primed a long time ago and is in pretty good shape. Small 1" dent on the top drivers side. Inside looks decent with some light surface rust forming. All the underside brackets...

    what to do with that pass side drum light plate bracket

    I posted this over on AAfords.com but thought I would share with you guys as well. The 28-E29 drum taillight has a non removable license plate bracket. I know you can cut the ears off but I'm not one to cut parts if I can help it. So decided to just come up with a plan while still retaining the...

    28/M30 CCPU door window frame removal

    Does anyone have a secret to getting these to slide off? I've removed the 3 screws at the top and understand it has to slide straight up on both sides. Does anyone have a trick to remove them without destroying them? Ive been spraying and soaking the best I can with liquid wrench for the time...

    28-29 model A cab

    Pictures are from when I bought the cab a few years ago. Only things I've done is soak and remove every nut and bolt with liquid wrench. Only things left standing are the rear panel and cowl posts and header panel. I have all the pieces besides the gas tank that I plan to use on another cab. I...

    28-M30 CCPU hinge nut size

    Ive searched and came up empty but can anyone verify the size of the square nuts that hold the door hinges onto the door post? I think they are 9/16" square...

    WANTED: Rusty 28-29 stone guard

    Toying with the idea of finding a rusty stone guard then painting it black to blend in better to my 29 AA which would have the black radiator shell - to me it would look weird with a shiny stainless one in front of all the black and be the literally only shiny thing on the truck...Cant say ive...

    what was it like to buy a new model a?

    After going thru the stressful new car buying experience of today, what was it like 90 years ago? I know Ford advertized the price for thier cars - was that negotiable like it is today? Did certain dealers offer to do things like add something at no cost just to get you to buy? Like I'm...

    AA jack handle reproduction interest

    Hello all, I needed a jack handle for my 28-29 style jack. As we know the jacks seem to stick around in corners of sheds, basements, and garages but the seemingly simple handles disappear with time. Original handles dont show up often nor are they cheap when they do. I got the illustrations...
