Information on "Transition" (1927) Model A

I will be seeing the truck again in the near future. What should I take photos of or what should I look at. The owner doesn't do the internet but he's very knowledgeable, he was a seebee and also an auto mechanics teacher in high school. I know those things don't make him a genius but he's a pretty smart guy. One thing that did give me pause though, he did ask if I could believe these transmissions took 600 weight grease. I didn't even try to explain (what I had learned here) that it's not 600 weight. He's old school and isn't getting on a computer, he's smart enough no question but for some reason refuses it.
 
JEFF P./Mn- That's kind of you, i appreciate the offer, but thankfully I managed to post two pics (piston and rings) yesterday concerning looking for suppliers. As I said earlier on this thread, I plan on starting a new thread ( finally posting pics )sometime to determine if what we have is a T body on the A chassis , or whatever else... Thanks again !

Was he a mechanic? the rest of the seabee rates just broke stuff. :)

'79 to '82..nobody shot at me..we did do hurricane recovery and helped build Diego Garcia.Great way to learn a trade,if you put your head down and worked they kept piling it on..2 years in,20 years old, inframe overhauling TD25 international bulldozer engines..
 
To all who have served - thanks for your service.


I have a cousin that did a tour in Nam. Was different person when he returned. Was some type of medical aid, not sure if it was in a Mash, or a medic aid on the
front line. Anyway lost a little of his sense of humor, will not talk about it, but still is OK, just different.


So I have always had a lot of respect and thanks for all who have served, but have very deep respect for those that served in or close to the fighting.
 
Hello All - I got some time and decided to just continue on this thread. But first, since the last few post were about the Veterans, then I'd like to wish the Vets a Belated Happy Veterans day ! As in I hope you all enjoyed your day of honor..
I was just a humble dental tech myself from 1987-91 on Mcguirre afb. So here are some pics
 
Interior 1 - I apologize that the lighting (for now) only allowed me to take decent interior shots of only the dashboard-steering wheel and I think only one or two pics showing the pedals. Note that this is a Right hand driven car.
