The Ford Barn

TK in LA · 12-21-2016, 10:53 PM

Recently acquired a mid 1928 AA flat bed (88a) and it was semi-apart. I've checked the AA site but can't find this bracket. I believe it's part of the bed but not sure. Didn't find any holes yet that match. Any ideas?

Hmm i dont recognize it but clearly a factory made item... Looks like it clamps down on a rod of some sort.

Looks like an anchor bracket for a sway bar. Have you been racing this AA?

Could it be a spare tire stop under the bed? If you had two I think that that would be a possibility. Another possibility is some type of Stake holder. You might ask Neil Wilson with the AA club.

I don't recognize it as any part of the bed assembly. Possibly associated with some type/style of side racks. The remaining paint looks like it could be a match to Rock Moss Green.
Definitely not a spare tire anti rattle piece.

Have any pictures of your new find???

Thanks guys for checking this out. There are two of them but they show no signs of wear from rubbing or use. No witness marks from mounting.

Tom, You may be right. The guy I got the truck from did have a couple of Mustangs. HUM???

Tom, why don't you drive that truck over to my place and leave it for about 3 or 4 years and I will see if I can find a spot to install that bracket?

Will you be at the horseless carriage meet on the 31st. ?

Morning Mark! Will be there rain or shine. Might even take the '41? See you there!

Ok. Thanks.

Dimensions might help. How big or small is it? What size are the holes?
