So i think i found the body number on my 28-M30 style truck cab but i cant figure out where it was made/when. It looks like AU3244 but from what i can tell theres no assembly plant called "AU". pics: it might be A then 03244... would they put leading zeros in the number? seems like i waste...

Hello all, I got my cab back from the mediablaster and naturally a handfull of pinholes showed up in the drivers side lower cowl area. The body shop recommended of going ahead and getting the patch panels (i really only need the drivers side if someone has a spare) but im wondering how well they...

So its come to the point Ive got some good money ******* into bodywork and paint on my AA project. Ive got the title in my name and active antique plates for it but no insurance due to it being in 4000 pieces for years. With all the wacky weather and whatnot im starting to get a bit...

Hello all! Got 3 similar but separate questions: I am in need of any books or websites that go into good detail on installing the wood into the 28/29 CCPU cab including the body blocks and pads down below. Ive heard Les Andrews Vol II has great detail on the roof wood but does not mention the...

If youve ever used a Haynes manual you owe it to this guy. https://haynes.com/en-gb/john-harold-haynes-obe-obituary?fbclid=IwAR1bcgTDDSvQDIYe7mb6Gi7IaOvahNPnnCtAKYe6CpW3ZIj_wHwjo2tNWCA

found this while looking for work related stuff: https://www.mpja.com/Battery-Cutoff-Switch-100A-12_24VDC/productinfo/34780+SW/ cant say ive ever seen one with a lever. Might make for a hidden rod operated one, easier to kick on off with a foot, might be easier to operate in a push pull fashon...

I plan to go again to roam around towing my cart (boulder) functioning on nothing but beer and fried cheese curds lol - maybe no hail storm this year! One can only hope haha. FYI bring a pocket full of ziplock bags to waterproof your car keys, wallet, and cell phone incase you do get drenched...

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...

Map pocket with 3 strips still riveted to it. Usually attached to pass kick panel. email for more pics but should be plenty. $20 obo +S&H. 20171104_112710 by Bob Bobbington, on Flickr 20171104_112719 by Bob Bobbington, on Flickr 20171104_112725 by Bob Bobbington, on Flickr 20171104_112731 by...

https://www.flickr.com/photos/150894781@N05/shares/0q682X 28/29 cab I bought in IA for my AA but then along came a nicer cab so this one has to go. Pics pretty much speak for themselves. I do have the rear window piece not pictured. No gas tank unfortunately. Negotiating and trades welcomed!

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...

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...

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...

Its only about a month away! Hopefully the weather is nice. Been pretty good last few years. Someone will know: What new repro parts vendors show up? I know its someone with a T and usually on the pavement on the corner by the tower. I need to get some minor things and want to call and place...

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... These are the square nuts inside the door post channel that hold the middle and bottom hinges to the cab. The top is threaded holes in...

Hello all, I just bought this so I could hook up some strobing LED lights someday to the rear of my AA to be seen. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B018QME112/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Says 5v-11V input and steps it up to 12V. Mine under light load was 12.24V with 7.2V...

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...

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...

Wanted a pair of nice original long splash aprons for the 28-M30 131" wheelbase AA. I know the rootleb repos are a spot on nice reproduction but I haven't used a reproduction part yet on this truck and would like to keep it that way... I do trades/partial trades/or straight cash.

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...
