I am new to this forum. I recently acquired a 1929 AA plateform stake bed truck. From what I've read online it is a 82-A Closed Cab with a 88-A/188-A Stake Bed. The truck is in pretty good shape, considering its age and I've fallen in love with it. I've started repairing some of the rust. The cowl under the tank had cancer on both driver and passenger sides which I have cut and patched. I have removed the doors and purchased patch panels from macs for both lower inner and outer sheetmetal. most of sheet metal on front of the truck has been removed for treatment.
I have become familiar with many of the old car swapmeets in central california and started hunting for parts. The list of parts Im looking for is getting bigger and bigger and lately I've started researching rear fenders for AA Trucks. Most of the posts I've found about rear fenders are on Express Trucks. From what I've been told the stake trucks with long running boards and rear fenders are rare. My AA has the long running boards with rear fenders, not dually rearend.
Are the rear fenders on Express trucks the same as stake bed trucks?
Where can I find replacement fenders, brackets, original or remanufactured for stake beds?
My truck has a quarter of a fender left on the passenger side and nothing left on the driverside (part of skirt on driverside has been torn off from tire failure).
My dad and brother have had Model A's for years. As kids my brother and I would help my dad with his 29 Phaeton. As years went by my job, family and other hobbies have taken my time. Now the old cars have come back to me, bringing taking me back to my childhood and once again bringing my Dad, Brother and I back together.
