: I am having trouble convincing my neighbor as to the year of his AA truck. Someone told him it is a 30 and I have told him it is a 28 or 29. I don't know why he is listining to this other guy. I have a 29 roadster and am finishing my fathers 29 PU. The cab on the AA is of the 28-29 style (box shape) not the rounder later style. The motor is one I put in out of a doodle bug because it ran. The motor I removed problably has been changed but I don't have the years and motor number lists for the A ford. The wheels are the large truck type, not the early wire wheels. Can anyone support me so I can convince him. I know the doors on the 28-29 are the same as the 26-27 T coupe, tudor. Is there a frame number that will date the chassis? What are the motor numbers for 28,29,30? I don't care about the month breakdown. thanks -- Tim Moore.
I have a "29 style" P.U. that I am sure was made in 1930. My
title says "30" and by checking out the various production
changes in the running gear, etc. I think it was made about
March, 1930. The gas tank filler is the screw on type and not the later twist-on type as was mentioned as a possibility by
someone earlier. At the moment I can't locate the motor number I wrote down off of the frame at one time (it doesn't match the one I am running).
Sometimes there is a date on the firewall part of the gas tank that helps date the body. (Mine doesn't have this).
