New guy in North Idaho 1 Attachment(s)
Hey everyone thanks for the add. I picked up a 31 A truck a few weeks ago and look forward to getting it running and driving. This is the first really old vehicle I have owned so it will be a learning experience for sure. I got a pretty good deal on it but slowly I'm finding out why. It hasn't been run in a couple years and needs some wring finished and a bed. I slid under it yesterday in an attempt to lube it and discovered a bunch of bolts missing and little things. It's ok because my grand daughter loves it and wants to go for a cruise this summer in CDA Idaho at the big show called Car D'Lane June 19th so I better get to work. Heres some pics of the truck I'm sure I'll have a ton of questions.

Re: New guy in North Idaho Nice truck. Get that grandbaby under there helping you. That will be some quality time she and for that matter you will never forget . But the best thing is it keeps grandma home washing clothes instead of spending parts money on video games or cell phones.

Re: New guy in North Idaho Start by investing in some Model A books and join the local Model A Club in the area, I think the club in Spokane is the closest to you. It is a MAFCA Chapter...That is Model A Ford Club of America.

Re: New guy in North Idaho Take lots of photos of everything before you take things apart. It will give you something to look at when putting things back together and will make a neat book or web site when you have it back on the road. You will probably need to clean out the fuel system as that seems to be the biggest problem after they sit a while. There is lots of electrical info on the site and youtube, it may just be a small issue.
I am building one from parts to use off road, guess I like a challenge. https://sites.google.com/d/1v64GNI3E...tgo7LoKDO/edit |
Re: New guy in North Idaho You will have lots of fun with that truck. I just bought a 31 Victoria and I am finding all kinds of bolts that were inserted but it was too much trouble to put on the lock washer or cotter pin and nut! Your goal is to make it safe, make it reliable, enjoy the hobby, make new friends and go out to eat. Good luck, Ed

Re: New guy in North Idaho Les Andrews red book is invaluable for the new model A Guy.
I highly recommend Berts Model A for parts, books and info. They have been there for 40 years and do nothing but Model As. I believe it is Modelastore.com. If not just Google Berts Model A. |
