Hi Guys
I have started a restoration of a 1928 Canadian built Model AA dump truck.
I am looking for any information to get replacement split rims and wooden spokes as well as a spare wheel.
Does anyone have details of the wheel and tyre sizes they could forward me.
rear wheels presently are thicker than the front and have 32X6 tyres.
Any information on the wheel specs would be great.
Andy.

For spokes, you could try Stutzman Wheel Shop in Ohio. It is an Amish owned business that makes spokes for everything from covered wagons, to our beloved Model T's. 330-897-1391. Be advised that they are true Amish, and use a community phone, so you have to leave a message and they will get back to you.
 
thank you for the welcome and information.
stutzmans wheel shop sounds just like what im looking for , reviews on the web are top class.
bob that link was most helpful ,, thanks again

Thanks Gunmetal
I could rebuild anything from the fifties and sixties in my sleep but I am sure I am going to be all over this site over the coming years Its like learning a whole new forgotten past held together only by the brotherhood of few who work to share the knowledge and keep it alive.
Haven't wanted to learn so much in years.

HI Andy
I Have a RH Canadian AA truck Flatbed with wood spoke wheelsl, but need some photo's of the doors inside and outside. On mine i am missing the doors. Not sure if the door was partly wood and metal. My truck is still nailed together with pins (Cab rear body work). will appreciate if you can maybe mail me some photos.
I know Coker (USA) makes these rims and tires. maybe try them.
