Sitting for 61 years. The motor is a combine motor turns. Trans gota be a AA. I hope. Door bottoms are still solid. Tank looks very clean. Original starter was in the cab. Radiator has a little fan chew on it. Headlight buckets are stamped Ford. Frame is a cheverolet. I must love Model A's. :D

Good for you.
Tell us more about that there carbulatater, dissy and especial coil mount(:>) We Aers have a lot to learn. (I'm sure youknow I'm not pickin. I love to see what folks did during tough times to keep ther work vehicles in action.) I'm loving them Maypops as well. How does the jingle go??:

"These are MAYPOP Tires
They may pop today or
they may pop tomorry,
but they surely will pop!"

Congrats on the find.

That surely is one cobbled together truck. But I love it and think that you should restore it as is so you can show people today what people had to do back then to survive. And yes that is a Ford 4 speed ****** with what looks like a coupling shaft (can't see it totally). It also looks like the cab used to be a coupe?

I have a running A chassis that I believe will have to put the body on and just build a bed out of some barn wood. The gentleman I purchased it from, told me that his father and uncle are the ones who took his Sunday going to church coupe and a parts from another body. He told me that is father slide off in the ditch and tore the rear end almost off of it. They pieced them together and used a 29 or 30 Gleener Combine engine. Bought a AA trans for $1.50 dollars from another farmer down the road and WALA. The brakes were never hooked up they would haul hay and feed out to the cattle and had to let it roll to a stop. He sold the steering assemble out of it to a gentleman restoring an A for 10buck in 1972. His son got it running in 1987 and that was the last thing ever done to it. "For Now" I am just happy that the scrappers didn't get it.
