I think you should leave it on the AA frame. This is mostly an originality minded people site...... IMHO it would be a nice addition to the AA restored survivors.

It looks very restorable. I once had a rusty unrestored AA. I got it running and it was just about the most fun Model A I ever had. Those spoked wheels and hubcaps are probably worth some money.

Stupid Q: Will those huge wheels fit on a Model A? Maybe the hubs needa go with them.

I agree with keeping the 1928 AA together. It looks like a very good survivor.

I'd leave it on that chassis...the wheels are killer ! And I probably wouldn't even paint it...but that's me.

Nice looking patina on the truck. I would keep the truck as is and drive the wheels off it.

Hey mytlow,

How early is your early '28? Engine number? Body number?

Thanks.

Dean

I have a 28 AA engine if you want to keep it on the AA frame. Does your new truck have an engine number with the double AA in it?

PM me if you are interested.
