What year model AA truck is this?

Can't believe it tooke 7 minutes to type a reply with an iPod. Now it's old news!

We have a 31 dump truck outback, it may be used as finance leverage for the coupe.

 

[columbiA]

It appears to have 1-piece splash aprons so it,s likely a 31.

 

[Tom Wesenberg]

It looks like it has a 29 left headlight from a car and a 1930-1 truck light on the right.

 

[Chris Haynes]

if you bought a new '29 in 1930, it will now be a 1930 truck.

Where did you ever get that idea? Titles show year model and year sold.

 

[james hitchcock]

Nice to finally see what you were talkin about. 30-31

Where did you ever get that idea? Titles show year model and year sold.

Depends on what state that you are in and what year when it was licensed. In the State of Washington, in the thirties, many new held over unsold trucks from the prior year were given a year of manufacture for the year that they were first sold to the customer. I haven't seen it done the other way around though. When a new truck was first released in September, it was always licensed by Washington State as the year model that it was intended to be built for.

'lilredcoupe: Moot point on this one. Many early 30's trucks may have had a 29 cab/fenders. Henry used up old parts first. Yhis is a 30/31.

It's got a '31 radiator shell with 1 piece splash aprons so I would say it is a '31.

The photos appear to me to show a Two Piece Splash Shield, as it should. AA's used a two piece splash shield throughout '30-'31 production.
My Late '31 AA has the two piece shields.
Also, the same AA Radiator Shell was used during '30-'31.
It is clear it is not an early '30 nor a Late '31 All Steel Top Cab.
This brings us back to the original question.

If this does have the two piece splash shield nose section, is it spot welded or bolted to the front fender?
Does it have a flat or indented firewall where the fuel exits the tank.
Also, not certain when, there was a change in the dimension of the Seat Riser.
Later production seat risers are smaller (front to back) than earlier production and would have an unused hole for a rivet which was used for the earlier style seat riser.

What type instrument panel does it have. Round or oval speedo?

I'm going with 1930 because of the two bar bumper and blue Ford emblem
on the radiator shell.

The splash shield is spot welded to front fender. Not sure if the ford 7 volt regulator on the firewall makes any difference or not. I do not have a title on the truck and the bile of sale only has Model AA and Body type 2D. The engine number is hard to make out R4-I3539m the best i can tell. I'll get the number off the frame once I start taking truck apart. I attached a couple more pictures.

 

[darrylkmc]

All evidence leads to your AA being a 1930. Blue emblem on radiator shell, early '30 (1929) oval speedometer dash, flat firewall, spot welded splash shield at front fenders.
Engine number and body type 2D (Two Door?) really do not matter as far as identifying the year of your AA.

I just deleted my answer, because I wrote it before I got to page 2, and the right answer was already here. But that's a nice truck!

 

[Rien]

my title says mine is 1930, but vin says '31
have you ran your engine number yet?
also, are your metal stakes welded on 'cause mine are and they are poorly done.

 

[Mike in Louisiana]

No I'm not sure about engine number couple of the numbers are hard to make out. The stakes are riveted.

Love the way the paint looks now!
