1930 model A pickup with square back?
I'm looking at a 30 pickup and I noticed it has the AA cab. Did any of the small pickups come with the square back?
I know nothing about these and I might be in left field about the AA cab. Go easy on me. Lol Thanks! |

The pickup and AA's used the same cab, fenders and hood.
They used the 1928-29 sheet metal till about June 1930. Last edited by Bob C; 08-14-2023 at 07:32 PM. |

Is it rare? More or less desirable? Than the later 30? |

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
I agree with the others that it’s probably a 28-29 body. For me the more square design looks taller and out of proportion. Some owners put wooden rails on the bed which breaks up the tall square body and improves the appearance.

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
My truck is an early 30 and has the square back. No expert but I'm wondering if there is less room in the square body? I'm tall and I have a hard time just getting into mine.

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
The 30 used the square cab until June.If it is a 30 square cab,it should have a quarter turn gas cap,not the threaded 29 style.But,gas tanks got changed so it could still have the wrong tank in it.What makes you so sure it is a 30 to begin with?Paper is not an accurate way of dating things.

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
The reason I say paper is meaningless is because in my state they didn't start titling vehicles until 1964.And,the year of the vehicle shown on the title was the year the vehicle was sold in new,not the actual manufacture date.My uncle bought a new 69 SC Rambler,it had sat on the showroom floor until he bought it in 1971.First title was issued in 71,with the year of the car as 71.I discovered this when I bought the car years later.Then it was explained to me how the N.H. title system works.Manufacturer doesn't issue titles,the state does.

Some say it's a 28-29 cab sone say early 30 trucks came with carry over 28-29 cabs. Others say A and AA are the same yet when I google images I find quite a few AA 30 trucks with square back cabs. Again, I know absolutely nothing about these and it looks to be a deal and I'd love to post pics but I'm too ignorant to figure it out |

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
In a nutshell,
28 through Early 30 A's and AA's used the square corner cab. ~June through End of Production A's and AA's used the rounded cabs. If someone is selling a 1930 P/U that has a square cab, I wouldn't worry much. just my $0.02 |

More or less desirable?
actually the later 30-31 cabs tend to be a little more desirable. more room and rodders tend to prefer them over the "phone booth" cab. In the end- which do you prefer? |

Re: 1930 model A pickup with square back?
What Keith True said in post # 10. Early 30 trucks with a square cab that looks like a 28-29, should have a quarter turn gas cap like the “usual” 30-31 gas cap on passenger cars. If it has the 30-31 gas cap, you can be confident it’s a 30. If it has the threaded 28-29 style cap, you can’t be sure either way.
