I would guess it wasn't the cargo weight that added up,it was the body and the top heavy situation,and the long wheelbase that was needed.That body would never fit on an A chassis,and there was no mid range truck betewen the A and AA.Must have been pretty good pies,look at the building security behind the truck.They probably weren't delivering to a prison.

Would that have been a real late 1929 AA with the type of dish wheels that it's got, or has it been up graded.

I've never heard of "Supreme Pies", but heard of "Miracle Pies". Painted on the side of their truck: "Miracle Pies. If it's a good pie, it's a Miracle".

It appears the body builder made their own version of the slant windshield, but with the top forward rather than laying back.
