Driveline, Suspension, Brakes, Electrical, You name it,,, It's been rebuilt, reconditioned, and/or restored.It has been carefully assembled and everything had to be correct including the additional vintage geared tilt mechanism in which the custom bed box sits on. It is functional as you can see in pictures.The woodwork on the occupants' box and doors is beautiful, well made, and worthy of accolades as is the bed and stake side rails.This AA starts, runs, and drives as good as it looks.Rare on its own merits and a must for any early vehicle collector. The Model AA Ford is powered by the same 201-cubic-inch (3.3 L) engine I4 engine that the Model A Ford used. The engine produced a maximum of 40 horsepower at 2,200 rpm. The engine featured an up-draft carburetor, six-volt generator, 2-blade fan, mechanical water pump, mechanical oil pump, electric starter and four-row radiator.All of these features were identical to the Model A Ford except the radiator.The engine could also be crank started if necessary by a hand crank that is inserted through a hole in the radiator shell.The Model AA was based on a chassis that was similar in design to the Model A Ford, except it was substantially larger and heavier to accommodate the work this truck was designed for. Model AA Ford has a four-speed manual gearbox. The transmission is geared lower than the Model A Ford to provide more torque to move a loaded truck. This lower gearing reduced the top speed of the truck when compared to the Model A Ford. The transmission also featured a lock-out on the shift knob for reverse that required a lever to be activated with the thumb so reverse could be engaged. This was done to prevent accidental engagement of reverse while the truck was in motion.Early trucks had a worm gear rear-end that limited the top speed of the truck. That rear-end was replaced by a ring and pinion differential to improve the speed of the truck. Later models were fitted with braces on the outer casing of the rear-end to provide additional support to the rear-end housing. The suspension of the AA Truck was similar to the Model A Ford in the front end. A leaf spring is centered in the front "˜A' frame over the front axle.Shock absorbers were available for the front end. The rear suspension differed from the Model A Ford. The AA had leaf springs mounted to the chassis and shackled to the rear axle. The rear suspension did not have shocks.These beautiful and simplistic vehicles helped pave the way to our nation's industrial success story and forever shaped automotive history worldwide.Thank you for looking at our AAGood Luck Bidding!
