Default WMS of the bigger AA trucks?

Wondering if anyone knows the WMS to WMS of the bigger 5 lug AA trucks. Or maybe even just the track-width?

Such as the AA-131

overall width across single rear hubs, 69 1/2". overall width across dual wheel tires, 76 7/16".
This info is from the reprint of the Ford A and AA engine-chassis manual.

Sorry for being late, but thanks.

Next question: Anyone have a picture of a bare frame for a model AA truck?

131 1/2" wb version. How wide and tall are the main rails?

As you all can tell, model AA's are new to me, but I do know they are hard to find compared to regular model A's. Thinking of making my own rails, and then finding a closed cab (type 82) to put on it. Not a resto by any means, but at least something I can hit the backroads with.

BTW, thanks for the pics.

A friend of mine cut up an AA frame and hauled it in for scrap. It was in good condition before it got cut up, but I never saw it in time to save it. He said he figured no one would want a truck frame.

My experience so far has been the other way. Lots of frames and full running gear available but 82 cabs are as rare as hens teeth .
