AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? 5 Attachment(s)
Here are some pictures of an AA plumbers truck. Was it originally an AA express truck?

Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? I don't think there's any such thing as a individually name truck. Looks like the AA express. Nice looking , there was an article several years ago regarding Craig Landon's express, in the restorer.

Not an express since there are no fender well inside the bed.

Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? Neil,
For 1928 through 1930, the Budd supplied, Ford sold, express body was the 89-A. The 89-A basically looks like a pickup body except larger. For 1931 and the AA131 chassis, the Ford sold express bodies were the 195-A express (light duty), 239-A express (meat packers), and 242-A express (heavy duty). All of the above (except the 239-A) can be found on the AAFords site. Go to http://aafords.com/aa-body-types/, scroll down the table to the Express section and then click on the body type to view. There is also an express truck gallery at http://aafords.com/open-bodies/expre...truck-gallery/. The cargo body in your pictures is not any of the Ford sold cargo bodies. |
Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? Quite a few years ago I bought at auction an 28 AA closed cab, original paint, 28K miles, long running boards, rear fenders, spoke wheels etc. But with no rear body. It had been a stake sided flat bed potato truck out of Aroostook county and they probably took the body off and used it on a newer truck in a later year. I had a after market, well made, express type body(looked similar to the one pictured) that slid right between the fenders perfectly. In a moment of weakness I excepted an offer from someone who saw it. The interior panels and seat were all intack and good condition and I took a load of pictures before it left but something happened inside the camera and none of them came out.

Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? If it was a plumbers truck it would have a rack for lengths of pipe

Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? I can't tell from the photos - are those factory Ford rear fenders and long running boards ?
Neat truck, anyway... |
Re: AA plumbers truck or is it an express truck? Neil, did it have a history as being a plumbers truck or signage? Just curious why it's called a "plumbers truck"
