Re: Skills Necessary To Own & Operate A Model "A"

I think the Model A is a fantastic car to learn the basics of mechanicking on. Everything is pretty easy, but not too easy. If you have a good attitude and a willingness to dive in, the car will...

Re: 31 AA rescue

Your truck looks great. I have used 0000 steel wool on gun finishes. I have a few big 0000 wheels for my drill press that I could chuck in a hand drill pretty easily. Might be worth a shot.

Re: 31 AA rescue

One thing I need to do sooner than later is some conservation work. Like I said, I think it's fair to call this truck a survivor in its current state and I don't want to take that away from it. The...

Re: 31 AA rescue

That old truck started up today- https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xy0xIjZTJU8

Running on gasoline in that video, but we've still got a ways to go. I put a new wire harness in it and we had to...

I've bought stuff from them on a couple occasions. No issues to report.

Re: 31 AA rescue

I went on a bit of a shopping spree... Eckler's had a bunch of stuff in the open box/clearance section of their AA category. One of the things I nabbed was a window channel kit, which on their site...

AA truck bed platform

Hey guys. I am working on getting a '31 AA going again and am looking for any AA bed platform, but preferably the 187A as that's what my truck was built with and I still have some of the original...

Re: 31 AA rescue

By the way, seems I lucked out with the transmission case. I scraped away all the old dried up gunk around the common crack points and it seems solid! So we're in business.

Re: 31 AA rescue

We were plugging away at it today. It was cold as hell and that hampered our progress badly. Item one was cleaning out the cab... I didn't think to take an after pic of this (cold) but we found some...

Re: 31 AA rescue

That Waterlox sounds like the way to go. I don't ever want to do this again on this truck. As for a color coat, I'll probably paint the cab wood black over the sealer before installing it. When it...

Re: 31 AA rescue

Bob, this is an awesome resource- thank you!!! I would never have found this on my own. I can't find the roof kits in stock anywhere so I guess I will be having to cut my own material for the skin....

Re: 31 AA rescue

I have had several Model A bodies up to this point but never reached the point on any of them where I was re-wooding them, let alone upholstering them. The wood is on the way, so I will be at that...

Re: 31 AA rescue

Thank you, Bill! Someone up in Missouri offered me one of those beds and I wish I could make the trip to grab it. Hopefully I can find one closer to home, but it doesn't look too hard to fabricate...

Re: 31 AA rescue

Externally the drums looked good and the brakes did stop the truck (at being-dragged-with-another-truck speeds) so I'm not too worried about them. Of course they could be slightly warped or what have...

Re: Prices going through the roof?

I have watched A prices skyrocket over the time I've been involved in the hobby. A few years ago I feel like I regularly saw complete but non-running project As under $2500 while rough runners could...

Re: 31 AA rescue

I like to save old stuff and hate to junk any old iron that could still put in the work. I'm a believer in mech brakes and took the time to restore those on the A chassis I put a 26 T roadster body...

Yep, it's a lot of work for sure... When I got into this hobby my intention was to put this V8 into a coupe I had dragged home but I fell in love with the banger and the V8 fell by the wayside. I had...

Re: 31 AA rescue

Noted. I only saw it briefly while crawling under the truck to look at the cab from below. It was 11 degrees so I didn't spend a lot of time looking. :p

Re: 31 AA rescue

Thinking about options today.

So if my engine runs but the transmission is toast, I either need to look for another case (the gearset is probably OK), or look at other transmission options. I have...

Thanks, guys- Joe, lots of good info... I didn't observe any cracks on the transmission while I was under it but I'll look closer next time I'm with the truck. It has been outside for quite a long...

Model A gauges

Hi guys... digging into the parts I received with my '30 pickup body. It came with a pretty nice dash cluster and all three gauges affixed to a late '31 (firewall shutoff) tank.

I think the dash...
