I have a AA 1928 Truck with wooden spoke wheels
cannot find much info or photos about these wheels, I think some canadian and Australian trucks had them from factory, Does anyone have any info
 
Guessing you work for the government with triplicate posting. My understanding is the early 28 Canadian trucks had wood spoke wheels. I am not sure about Australian built AA's. Rod

Wood Wheels were made and marketed to the Ford Model A owner as an 'after market' item. The set of 21" wood 'artillery' wheels that I have for my '28 Phaeton were made by the Moto Wheel Corporation. That is the same company that made the 19' 'bent-spoke' (think 'Kelsey-Hayes') steel spoke wheels for my '31 Dlx Coupe.

They were whittled out of aluminum on a CNC mill. Probably not that hard to make, ....just would take a long time to earn the $$ to pay the bill! ;)

I would think that there would be a fair market for them. Especially since the CNC part was already done.
