Thumbs up 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.

Bob was a teenager when he and his brother
starting helping their Dad restore the truck.

Here is the truck waiting for me to pick
it up in his Dad’s garage.





Bob & his Dad at pick up in Bonita, California.

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".

I have to admit I’m pretty envious, super cool truck.

This Beauty is staying in the same family.

Four generations of fine furniture repair is what they do.

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