Differences between the A and AA cabs?

[28ACoupe]

Were the cabs on the A and the AA the same size/shape? Or, were the AA cabs larger?

Same cab per given year. Rod

 

[flatford39]

Same cab, front fenders, hood, front splash apron. The hoods, front fenders & front splash apron also are the same as the cars.

That makes things rather easy.

Thanks

Related question,...are any bigger than others? When the new 31 SW is up to snuff, I'm considering a project.

Everyone feel free to tell me I'm nuts.

I have a 1994 F150 4x4 pickup that I've had since new. It's fairly banged up (grandson) but still runs well.

I have this vision of taking the body off and melding an A or AA cab and fenders to it.

Easy? Difficult? Impossible?

If you've got money, nothings impossible but isn't going to "look" right. JMO

I have contemplated picking up an f350 diesel crewcab longbed truck and removing the cab and bed to build an AA flatbed that could carry a couple tonnes and still do highway speeds.

It can be done, but as others have mentioned: At what cost...

I guess if I'm honest with myself (too much of a dreamer really) I'd sell the old F150, buy a nice Model A pickup...or actually any Ford PU up to 1941, and start making payments on a nice new F150 4x4.

My problems with the new PU's is they cost more than my first two houses, together!

aa frame is 171 5/16 long wheelbase is 131 and width is 41 inch accross at the rear so if you duplicate that platform and can figure out how to attach the body , runningboards and hood radiator assy than i guess what the hey cant be worse than .......

Do you mean like this ? If this truck didn't have Whitewalls it would like it was factory issued. L O L !!!!!!!!!

I see a lot of Ranger chassis being used that way. The F150 is too big. They were making a fiberglass 36 cab for just that a few years ago.

Way cool Delivery Don! In search of answering my own question, I found this:

Today, undoubtedly the least expensive and simplest way to go hot rodding is by mating a classic pickup truck body to a modern chassis and V8 engine. That’s exactly what Chester shows you step-by-detailed-step in his new eBook, “Hot Rod or Rat Rod: How to Mount a Cheap Antique Truck Body on a Late Model Pickup Chassis for Under $3000“.

I was thinking of something like an extended cab....

My first thought was: why?
Easily answered: Because.

But spdway1 your answer is better. LOL

Henry should have built that!
