Would someone be kind enough to help me identify these axles? Guy doesn’t know year. They are $120 so I think it’s a deal but I’m not 100% sure...
Considering this my summer project instead of the Model AA. But I can’t decide. I know as I’ve looked at everything I am falling in love with...
I found that the stock axle I have is a heavy duty bevel gear axle that Ford put in its trucks in 30/31. I might have a 5.14:1 ratio if it’s the...
Do the F350 spindles that fit your AA axle come only on 57-60 trucks or do you know if the later spindles fit? Are there any disk brake options...
Ok. Another random question. I’m getting ready to purge some old cars my dad has as farm art installations but I’m worried I’ll discover I should...
Gorgeous!
I'm back! I have done absolutely nothing on this project. I sat in the cab on a fruit box and made vroom vroom noises yesterday so I'm inspired....
I'm still searching for parts to get things rolling with. The earlier craigslist parts didn't go anywhere because They never responded to me....
@patmanta you're awesome. Thanks for all the help!
@patmanta do you think that this 1936 front suspension and drop axle are a good deal? 1936 Ford Dropped Axle- 1936 1940 1947 Banjo Rear Axles...
Where can I find a Model A front end to replace the beefy Model AA? I like speedway's disk brake conversion but I'm not too hot on the front end...
Also, what if I didn't use the 8.8 rear end? Any way to hotrod the stock differential?
@patmanta I'm sold on the AA spring setup and I see how to do that with welding on the 8.8. What do you think about shock mount location? Should...
Ha Ha. I see what you did there. Making fun of someone with an incurable disease. Actually, the pin striping predates Michael, or at least his...
For the rear I could do what Osage Orange did and weld something to the axle but I would delete a bunch of springs.

These are some pictures from a while ago and may be not specific to what you guys need to see but since I won't be home before dark, these will...
So, I need to get rid of the AA stuff for mockup? Or just the spring?
The rear here looks like mine. So keeping those awesome springs is not an option... I most definitely want the disk brakes and the 8.8 rear end...
Thanks to everyone for comments. I will get home today and take some fresh photos and post them if there is any interest. Any suggestions for...
I will try to get some fresh pictures to post and try to ask advice as I go. Do you think you've got a picture or two you'd be willing to share?...
I have a 31 model AA truck that I'm excited about hotrodding. I'm looking for a parts list and what to do refresh and lower my front end using...
Well, Here's what I have: http://s904.photobucket.com/user/ludwigglers/media/IMG_2193.jpg.html?sort=3&o=10 Any advice is welcome!
Hi folks. I guess this is the place to be. Thanks for allowing me to be here. I mowed a sweet old lady's field and asked for her Model AA...
