Found In 1976 -1929 Ford AA Arden Dairies Of California Delivery Truck Fully Restored
This 1929 Ford AA Truck as found in the foothills
of El Campo, California around in the early 1970’s by Bob’s family when they were out motorcycle riding and on a return visit his Dad made the owner an offer to buy it which was accepted. The truck was owned by Arden Dairies which started in El Monte, California in 1904 and grew to be one of the largest milk producers in the state. The truck had several leaf springs added. The wood bed was lined with tin - soldered - equipped with water drains and sent out each day full of ice. Jim |

I remember my grandfather having an A truck with a cab exactly the same in the early 50's. It had obviously been a delivery truck with "drink sunshine cordial" sign written across the cab and we knew it as "Sunshine".

More of this! ^^^^^^
I'd like to see the rear fenders and how they attach to the bed. |
