Book Suggestions (1930 Model A Truck)

[Mitchal]

My dad just picked up a 1930 Model A truck in fair-good condition.
Can you recommend some books to help us get started. (repair, reconditioning, ect)

Are tailgates steel or alum.

Thanks

When you say Model A truck do you mean a pick up or
AA big truck?

Pick up.

The tailgate should be steel. Good books are the Owner's Manual, Restoration Guidelines, Service Bulletins, as well as parts books from some of the Model A parts houses, such as A&L, Bert's, Bratton's, Snyder's, and others.

Also, the truck has a wooden tail gate with a metal Ford Emblem on the back?
When I look on line I only see metal tail gates. Is this wood tail gate original or did Ford only have metal tail gates for the 1930 trucks?

Thanks

Mitchal, I found this book invaluable when working on my pickup. You can purchase this from Snyder's Antique Auto. Afordman31
