  • This video is a brief narrative pictorial of the Ford Model AA truck that was build between 1928 and 1932. I enjoyed researching this out locating this historical vintage photographs to compile this video. I don't see many of these and so I was amazed at how many different variations of the truck and the chassis were manufactured.

    When I am not making images for my normal (if there is such a thing) bodies of work as a photographer, I make plenty of fun videos for my Model A that you can find on this channel too. Be sure to check them out.
    As to gear, I shoot a variety of full frame Nikon cameras and lenses. Most everything is shot on a tripod to produce the sharpest images possible.

    My 1930 Ford Town Sedan has eyebrow fenders and still has the original interior. It's certainly worn but it still is functional. I have rebuilt the driveline, suspension, and tie rods, installed a modernized Model A motor with oversized intake valves, insert bearings, and a high compression head. I also have a lightened flywheel and V8 clutch. The car comfortably cruises at 50MPH but I've had it up to 60MPH. I have also insulated and installed sound deadener which has made the car enjoyable to be in even at 90 degrees.

      Hi Dean. Like you, I saw trucks I never even knew existed and still powered by that beloved 4 cylinder. Truly an amazing motor and vehicle!

    Absolutely fascinating content.
    As a modern Ford truck owner, I so enjoy seeing these forerunners of my beloved F-350.
    I look forward to your future episodes.

    Can you do a video on the forgotten Model B and BB trucks? I have a 1934 157 inch wheelbase BB truck that came from Great Falls MT. It was used until 1963 when the engine broke. It was left sitting in the field until 4 years ago. Replaced the engine with a similar flathead V8. It now runs and drives again with most of the original parts still on it including the brakes.

    Hi Ken , great video! Thanks for the AA technical info! My friend told me of a 1930 Express,131" w.b. in a barn free for the taking, back in 1985. I stored it a few years, but had to sell it. The 195-A, one of my all time favorite trucks!! The stars aligned and I found a 29' Phaeton! Another all time favorite? Thanks for your videos!!

      Hi Rick. I believe he is subscribed to my channel based on previous comments he has made so I would presume that if he wants something, he would reach out. Thanks for asking!

    I love the big panel trucks but it seems every one has disappeared. I never seen one in real life nor in any youtube.

    • @kensmithgallery4432
      @kensmithgallery4432  Před 4 měsíci

      I never have seen one either. Perhaps they are in museums but all I ever see are flat bed or stake beds. Thanks for watching!
