31 AA rescue

[trevorsworth]

Externally the drums looked good and the brakes did stop the truck (at being-dragged-with-another-truck speeds) so I'm not too worried about them. Of course they could be slightly warped or what have you but I'm sure they will be good with a good clean up and servicing.

Kinda kicking myself for having given away so much of my Model A stuff over the past couple of years but I went through my stash and came up with some stuff for the truck! Headlight lenses, a good Zenith carb (and a good Tillotson as a backup), a new distributor cap, spark plug leads, spark plugs, a belt, a generator, body blocks, a voltmeter, the interior door handle I'm missing on one side, a window crank, window regulators, and a few other bits and bobs.

I was also able to find a set of tires at a local tire shop for $120, although they are radials and will probably be kinda ugly they will be great for now considering 'correct' tires will run me over two thousand.

If the motor runs and the transmission isn't freeze cracked, I think I can get this truck all the way back together and on the road with less than $1600.

$901 later after tax and shipping - got the body wood ordered as well as window felts and a brake rivet tool. Let's do this!
