A lot of the Canadian 29 AA s used a Timken rear end w -a removeable cover.They also had open drive shaft & cable brakes.In an old issue of Vintage Canada it stated that there was a bumper crop of Wheat that year & Ford couldnt get enough rear ends for trucks needed to haul the harvest,so they modified the chassies for the Timken rear ends,wood spoke wheels were also used.The wheels were similar to the 25-27 TT rearwheels,but with AA hubs & used all around.Most 28-29 AAs in Canada had Brantford cabs that had a lot of wood in them.
