Re: Making the GAZ AA
Nice photos, such a neat part of Model A history, they were really put to use during the war.

I think it says "change we can believe in" or "Yes We Can".

Re: Making the GAZ AA
Post #1, photo #6, shows why the communist system failed - of the seven workers assembling the truck - only one worker is actually working !
While in the US, of seven assembly line workers, 5 or 6 are generally working.. .. |

Re: Making the GAZ AA
English built AA trucks had the same "dropside" beds . The sides and tailgate were easily removable as the bed sides had male "pegs" and the sides had steel straps with a hole in the end . A key was slotted through one of the pegs to secure the sides and tailgate . At the end of the bed was a stake with a "flipper " key at the top to secure the sides end . This system was very easy to use way better IMHO than the more clumsy USA stake bed setup which were not fitted here . Maybe in USA there was a requirement for higher sides .

Re: Making the GAZ AA
Interesting to see that at pic no 6 on the first batch they have gone to the indented cowl and the wood cab . This looks the very same as the wood cabs fitted to Dagenham built one ton trucks which also had the indented cowl . These were built into 1936 . I dont think GAZ AA ever had the Budd steel top cab although late 31 AA trucks had them here .

Re: Making the GAZ AA
Ronn, Once I had to go to visit a senator's off. up in the Meadowlands. It was in
in the 4 or 5 story Zxxxxxxarelli building. While there, I noticed NJ's other senator also had space there and some lesser notables as well. Curiously, they were all all of the democrat persuasion. Not a Republican among them! While leaving on Rt 17 I noticed some roadwork being done. It was a private contractor, the name on the trucks? You guessed it! The same name as on the building! Did I just see NJ's Corruption in action? Or was it just coincidence? Terry Quote:

Re: Making the GAZ AA
I'm not a Russian speaker, I'm sort of a "Russian reader" When learning any language that doesn't share our alphabet, that has to be the first task. Ah, Bay, Gey, Dae, Yae........Are the beginning letters of the Russian alphabet to 32 letters the last being a Yah, which is the famous reversed, upper case R, and it is the word for "I" (Me). Anyway, You go from learning the alphabet to grammar and spelling, I've only got the basic words down. and I've never had a Language lesson, Russian or otherwise in my life. In answer to your question, no! But I wish I could!

Re: Making the GAZ AA
The car being made on the production line side by side with the GAZ-AA in the 1st photo is the GAZ-M1 (1936-1942) known as the “Эмка“/”Emka”. A heavy redesign (suspension was completely changed for Russian conditions) of the 1934 Ford Model B 40A four-door sedan.
