1930/31 AA Truck stainless hubcaps .
My 1931 AA Truck has stainless hubcaps on the front . I thought this was peculiar to English AA trucks . I was watching on "You Tube" "1930 Ford Model AA Walk Around " at 13.18 mins there looks like a stainless cap on a USA truck . Just wondered if you had them in USA as well as England .

If this is the video it just looks like a beat up hubcap painted silver to me.

Re: 1930/31 AA Truck stainless hubcaps .
My 31 AA has screw-on hubcaps the color of the wheel. But...since we are on the subject, the rear has a nut with cotter pin, and looks like something can screw on to cover it to keep it clean. Did they make something like that for the rear?

Re: 1930/31 AA Truck stainless hubcaps .
You are missing your rear hubcaps . They are nickel plated mild steel and not available in reproduction . I think you will find used on "ebay" etc etc . Just paint your front ones silver they will look well better ! The lug nuts should be nickel also .

The hub caps were cadmium plated as were the lug nuts. The rear hub cap is similar to the front cap but long / taller and had internal threads.

Here are mine. Can see the size difference between the front and back.

Re: 1930/31 AA Truck stainless hubcaps .
I checked Ebay for rear caps, $100 each. I'll keep looking, but if anyone comes across two at a reasonable price, shoot me a line. No grease exposed on the rear, so it's more of a dust cover, no big hurry.
