I have problem with rear brake drums removal, see attached photos, is it right style to remove? It is very tight and stucked. Then there is a wedge and wedge groove, no need operation in drum removal?

Other question is: what is right and original gloss in frame paint?
And what parts are maybe semi-gloss, hi-gloss etc...

What is right colour code of frame paint.

English is not my mother tongue, I hope you understand what I am asking

The MARC / MAFCA Restoration Guidelines stat that the rear axle should be painted with a semi-gloss black paint.
I would recommend that you purchase a copy of the Restoration Guidelines. It has a lot of information on Model A vehicles, including 116 pages on the AA trucks.

Try to find some 1932 drums. They are cast iron and don't fade like the pressed steel AA drums.
