Default Re: Barn fresh AA farm truck

I looked at the truck last night before the big rains came. The tank had a mount on the bottom of it, but someone along the way cut it off. You can see there is also a ring mark on the column where the tank drop used to attach. Must have been loose or damaged so they added the later '31 style bolt on column mount.

The wheels all match and do not have the reinforced hub. The right front hub looks like it is raised in the picture because of mud on it, but is flat and is the same as the left front as well as the rears.

As for the rearend I suppose that it was extended and had a BB rear installed maybe right in 1932 or 33 as it was originally used to haul coal in PA before it came to NY and became a farm truck. I can see the original AA frame is inside the channel iron frame extensions. Also the springs sit on top of the rearend, not cantileaver like all the other AA pics I have looked at. I definitely want to lift the cab to see if the AA serial is still visible.
