Re: New here with model ar questions
Love the truck! I thought 28's rear window was up higher? Could be wrong though.

Re: New here with model ar questions
earlier parts were also carried over for 3 months in passenger cars and longer in commercial vehicles.

Many states didn't even require vehicle titles until well into the 1930's. So when people did finally register their vehicle, many times it was done from memory, or even worse, not even from the original owner. Engines can come and go...not a very reliable source of information after 90 years or use.

Re: New here with model ar questions
Well I for one care about the value of what I have,It gives you a better taste in your mouth when you are right side up..Enjoy that AA for what it is,a good old truck..reckon in a pinch you could shake 8500 out of it if you had too..not many can say they are that far to the 'good' with their model A's,most cats are underwater..the market is falling through the floor for restored cars,hell the hotrodders are buying them and cutting them up they are getting so cheap..

Re: New here with model ar questions
I'd like to see the cowl welt where the hood panel fits against the lower vertical sides of the cowl. So where the rear of the hood panels with louvers touch the cowl is what I'd like to see.
The Restoration Guidelines is an excellent book to have, and you can learn much about your truck from it. The SERVICE BULLETINS is also another good book to own, but try to get the full size, rather than the smaller yellow book. The radiator cap is one of the older cheap reproductions, and much better ones are made today, or you can buy a good original. The perf strap for the coil should be replaced with a good coil bracket, or with an original coil with the bracket spot welded to the coil. One at a time, you can improve small things like this and add value to the truck as you keep driving it. Can you find a tank date? |

No, it is on the engine side of the firewall, driver's side.

Re: New here with model ar questions
That # 112786 you gave from from the title is an engine # that was made on May 2 1928.. That does not mean its original to the truck.. The gas tank dates did not start until mid 1928, so that truck should not have one.. Looks to me like a lot of 1929 parts, Trans, Clutch assy, even the floor boards are late ones. The gas tank has the high choke rod holder, The front motor mount "Looks" to have not been Cut ??.. And many more items make it a 1929..Still a nice fun truck @ a good price..

Re: New here with model ar questions
Jsain10, your truck is definitely not AR, but does look very nice. The more you learn, the more you'll know it's not. I don't want to be unfriendly, but I don't want you to be chasing rabbits. You got a good deal, so sell it or drive it. pAAt
