I think that is a TT box not AA, no wheel well.

I agree

[GPierce]

I think that is a 31 wide body bed based on the tail gate and hinges. My 30-31 bed has no wheel well.
Before and after.

Either A or T, it’s worth buying.

The bed in question is for a TT big truck express not the small pickup.

The ad said Model A Pickup.

How many folks posting claiming this is
not a Model A pick up bed have actually
clicked on the link - gone to the listing
and reviewed the description and all
of the images ? …..

I am not - nor do I profess to be
an expert in determining what a
Model A steel truck bed turned
into a trailer would look like ….

But - lacking actual measurements
of the bed listed for sale - it does
not seem logical that an accurate
conclusion can be reached ….

Count the stake pockets.

[trulyvintage]

So there were never any Model A
steel bodies made with 6 stake
pockets in OEM or aftermarket ?

You did say it was very rare and hard to come by.

Never - trust what you read in an auction listing. Decide for yourself if it's correct and what you need.

It is NOT a bed for the small A pickup.It could be mistaken for the express bed for the AA though,but it has no wheel indents and no bolt holes to bolt the rear fenders on.The TT express bed has the fenders mounted to brackets mounted to the frame,not to the side of the body like the AA express bed did.This is for the big AA trucks,not the pickups on the passenger car chassis.

Here is a link to the different AA express bodies.

I found this in a field yesterday. The gentleman who lived there gave me a tour. The insides of the box still held the tools and parts used by the telephone company.

I NEED That!

There is a lot of old trucks on that lineup. It is an hour away from me, I wouldn’t mind going and walking around but not that kind of auction.

[ModelA29]

Did the TT and AA use the same bed? The auction bed agrees with the picture of this AA bed where it's flat where the fender mounts. Did AA with dual rear wheels get the indent for the wheel to clear and single rear wheels not get it?
