New to Ford Model A

[MoparDude318]

Hi there. I’m new to Ford, I’m a Mopar guy but I decided to take on my Father in law’s 1930 Ford AA, who sadly passed away 6 years ago. I just started working on it. Not much to look at really, it was an old ranch truck and they cut the cab in half.


I just got it running. I was having a timing issue and followed the advice on this forum which helped me so I decided to join.


I’m not doing a restoration or anything but would like to make it a more complete and serviceable truck. I bought some new parts from All Ford in Campbell, Ca, nice to have them close by as I live in Hollister.


Just the usual stuff, I put a new tank fuel valve, fuel line and glass fuel bowl. I bought a rebuilt Zenith carburetor from a friend of mine to replace the Tillotson that was on it. I replaced the intake/exhaust manifold gasket, among a few other small items. Easy stuff. I bought 2 new 6.50-20 tires for the front along with the liners and tubes.


I'm in the middle of doing a head gasket as it started leaking real bad when I went for a test drive.


I'm looking for one more wheel so I can put the duals back on.


Anyways here are some pictures.
