Default You never know where you find em!

In Vermont taking care of family property when I found these jewels. They are actually at a friends place (he builds racing engines and has done some restoration work recently NOT these), and I think are for sale but I never asked a price.

One is an unrestored AA from what I can tell. No telling the age of the cargo body.

The other is a full restoration but I am not sure how long ago. This one has a great steel cargo body added.

Anyone interested, I can give you a contact. But it is just fun to know that there are many still kicking around that you just don't know about.

Thanks for posting a few new Model A photos.

For some reason, appears we never seem to get tired of looking at them.

As the saying goes, GOLD IS WHERE YOU FIND IT. You would have next to no chance of finding anything as good as that in Australia.

Ray, yes the restored truck has a dump body. I am not that familiar with these trucks but the dump is driven by a PTO driven through a driveshaft to the hydraulics. One end of the driveshaft has a "universal" made of a ball end with a drive pin through the equator of the ball that mates with two groves in an outer housing. From what I heard, someone a few years ago drove down the road with the PTO engaged and that was the end of the lift. I think this can be repaired but it is not working now.

I have not talked with the owner, but I do know that he is eager to start on the restoration of a V8 1934 BB so he may be motivated to sell.

Thanks for the info. I was inquiring for a friend who isn't quite as ready to purchase as I thought he was.
