Default front parts interchange between A and AA

All;
Today, I adjusted the front wheel bearings on the 1931 AA, along with the drag link and aired up all the tires to 35 psi. No more wobble!!. I do want to rebuild the steering linkage. Will the A parts (tie rod, tie rod ends, steering arms, drag link) work on the AA.

Thanks

uhh AA tires are supposed to be like 60 psi or something like that.

im not 100% sure on the 30/31 AA... most of the 28/29 is interchangeable

The tire sidewall says max inflation is 80 psi., now considering that
the tires had 20 psi in them, it rides great with 35 psi, I do not want to chance over inflating and start getting un even tire wear.

The Service Bulletins show 45lbs for 600x20. Tie rod and steering
arms are different than Model A, tie rod ends and the rest are the same.

I'd go with 45 to 50 lbs. in the tires.

The tie rod is an AA chassis part but the A chassis tie rod would work. The steering parts are all A chassis parts (including the steering column). This can be verified by checking out a Ford parts price list for 1931.

I run about 35 pounds of air pressure in my 32 BB tires unloaded. Of course if the truck is loaded it would make sense to pump up the tires to capacity to avoid the duals rubbing etc. Even at 35 pounds the bias ply tires are riding on the center of the tire tread.
