1929 AA Truck

[Tony G]

Hi,
I bought a 1929 AA Falstaff beer truck last month.The title and the documents from Falstaff back in the 1980's indicate its a 1929. When I got to the frame numbers it reads AA 268103 which puts it July 1928. It has a 2 tooth steering gear and 14 inch rear brakes & not dual wheel. What is the real year of production? I should add that the body from the door hinge pillars back is made by a carriage company and the rest is Ford.

Thanks,
Tony G.

Hey Tony I would love to see some pictures of your truck - sounds really cool!

What ****** is in the truck? Are the headlights "TWOLITE" or plain buckets? What color is the steering wheel?

Maybe the cab & chassis was in inventory at the carriagemaker for a few months before the truck was built.

The headlamps are 2 lite repro. The ****** is the usual 4 spd and a worm drive rear end. The steering wheel is black and the open style early type convex looking.

So far it sounds like a 29. Could a digit have been missed on the frame? There should be a star at the start and end of the number.

It has the stars.
