Keep in mind that the front axle was identical between the 28-29 cars and the 28-29 AA truck. The only thing that changed between them was the spindles/backing plates/hubs/brake drums which were replaced as part of a "Service Recall" done late in 1928 at no cost by Ford for AA Owners.

You can tell the difference between A hub components at 5-1/2" lug bolt center/center distance and AA hub at 6-1/2" lug bolt center distance. Also A lug studs are 1/2" and AA lug studs are 3/4".

I recently acquired a 28-29 AA front axle missing the steering arms on both sides. These would be the same as the A steering arms - of which I have a spare pair.
