As the and became and needed to be replaced, began initial designs on the and Model AA in 1926. Basic layout was done rapidly and mechanical development was moved forward quickly. Body design and style was developed and then outsourced to various body manufacturers, including Briggs and Murray.
The designs of the Model A shared parts and materials with the Model AA Ford, notably the body, and interior. The AA usually received plainer interiors than their car counterparts. The Model AA followed similar design changes to the Model A during the AA's four years in production, often delayed anywhere from three to nine months. The mechanical changes and upgrades were done during production of the vehicles.
Body changes that occurred between 1929 and 1930 were also integrated into AA production, but leftover parts were used longer in the heavy commercial. Contents. Mechanical details The Model AA Ford is powered by the same 201-cubic-inch (3.3 L) engine that the Model A Ford used.
The engine produced a maximum of 40 at 2,200. The engine featured an up-draft, six-volt, 2-blade, mechanical, mechanical, and four-row. All of these features were identical to the Model A Ford except the radiator. The engine could also be crank started if necessary by a hand that is inserted through a hole in the radiator shell.
The Model AA was based on a chassis that was similar in design to the Model A Ford, except it was substantially larger and heavier to accommodate the work this truck was designed for. Model AA Ford has a four-speed. The transmission is geared lower than the Model A Ford to provide more torque to move a loaded truck. This lower gearing reduced the top speed of the truck when compared to the Model A Ford. The transmission also featured a lock-out on the shift knob for reverse that required a lever to be activated with the thumb so could be engaged.
This was done to prevent accidental engagement of reverse while the truck was in motion. Early trucks had a rear-end that limited the top speed of the truck. That rear-end was replaced by a to improve the speed of the truck.

Later models were fitted with braces on the outer casing of the rear-end to provide additional support to the rear-end housing. The of the AA Truck was similar to the Model A Ford in the front end. A is centered in the front ‘A’ frame over the front axle. Were available for the front end. The rear suspension differed from the Model A Ford.
The AA had leaf springs mounted to the chassis and shackled to the rear axle. The rear suspension did not have shocks. Final assembly of the GAZ-AA., 1943 The controls in the Model AA are entirely mechanical, except the in later models. The brakes are mechanical and the truck has four oversized drum brakes to stop the vehicle.
The mechanical system is a pull lever system that applies the force from the pedal to a pivot that pulls the brake rods that expand the brakes in the drums. The brake light is activated when the brake pedal is pushed. The brakes are proportioned more toward the rear drums. The parking brake is a chrome lever on the floor with a release button on the top. The windshield wipers started as hand operated and later models were powered by vacuum diverted from the. The horn button is mounted in the middle of the steering wheel assembly. Controls for the lights are also incorporated into the steering assembly.
The switch was a three-stop switch for parking lights, headlights and high-beams. The tail-light lens colors on the AA underwent several changes during the production run. Two levers are mounted on the steering column to adjust the engine. The left lever controls the manual advance of the timing. Adjusting the timing of the engine changes the time that a spark will occur in the combustion chamber and those changes affect the performance of the engine. The right lever is a manual control for the throttle. The throttle can be adjusted to ease the shifting of the transmission and the idling speed of the engine.
Underneath the dash on the right side is the choke rod. The choke can adjust the flow of fuel from the carburetor into the engine. Turning the knob on the choke rod clockwise closes the fuel flow, leaning out the engine; turning the knob counterclockwise opens the fuel flow to the engine. The gauge cluster includes three basic gauges.
The cluster is in a diamond formation, with the start key and pop-out locking switch is on the left point. The top of the cluster holds the gas gauge, which directly connects into the gas tank, behind the dashboard.
The right point holds the amp gauge, which shows the charge rate of the generator. The bottom of the dash holds the speedometer and odometer. Additional gauges can be mounted below the cluster if desired. During the production of the Model AA, the wheels were also changed. Spoked wheels similar in appearance to Model A wheels but much heavier were used during 1928–1929. Twenty inch 6 slot disc wheels were produced by Budd for Ford.
In 1930, a new style 20 inch 5 slot disc wheel was adopted. These wheels were used for 1930 and part of 1931. The final wheels were a further modification of the 1930 wheel, with a raised center to reinforce the wheels and allow spacing of dual wheels in the rear so the tires would not rub against each other.
The dual wheels were used for a variety of body styles, including dump trucks, tow trucks, tankers, fire trucks, and flatbed. Wheel nuts changed with each new style of wheel to meet the changes made in the designs of the wheel. Special wheels were produced for ambulances, buses, and funeral coaches. Variants. 1929 Model AA The Model AA was available with a number of options. Two wheelbases were available, 131.5 inches (3,340 mm) and 157 inches (4,000 mm).
Various body styles were available on different chassis. The Model AA Ford was available in a variety of body styles from the Ford Corporation. Specialty bodies include: Funeral Coach, Ambulance, Express Pickup, Dump Truck, and a cab without a bed. The cab only model was sold to customers who wanted a custom body to be built by an after-market company. Corporations could have custom paint and other modifications made by Ford for fleets of vehicles.
The purchased a fleet of vehicles from Ford that had custom built bodies by outside builders. Overseas production. 1929 Ford Model AA at the Ford licensed the manufacture of the Model A and AA to a variety of nations, notably the Soviet Union. More than 985,000 GAZ AAs were built in USSR from 1932 to 1950. The GAZ version had a cargo capacity of 1,500 kg (3,300 lb).
A model with stronger 50 HP engine and wartime simplifications is often named, after the engine. In October 1931 a Model AA was the first vehicle produced at Ford's own new in England.
The Model AA was also built in several nations in mainland Europe under license from the Ford Corporation. At least three Danish armored vehicles (FP-1, FP-2, and FP-3) were based on the chassis.
Present day. A 1929 AA still working in, Uruguay, in 2005 Today, enthusiasm for the Model AA continues.
Preservation and restoration of these vehicles remains popular. In the United States, there are two national clubs.
One club supports the Model A/Model AA hobby and one club is dedicated specifically to the Model AA. The Model A Restorers Club and the Model A Ford Club of America, along with the Ford Model AA Truck Club work to support members with technical advice and support along with displaying members vehicles as they are being restored. In some countries, like Uruguay and Cuba, Model AA trucks are still in use, more than 80 years after their introduction.

The 1935 Ford's combination of price, practicality, and looks vaulted the company ahead of rival for the sales crown that year, with 820,000 sold. 1935 Model B Woodie The 1935 Ford was a thorough refresh on the popular -powered Ford. The engine was no longer offered, leaving just the 221 CID (3.6 L) to power every Ford car and truck. The transverse suspension remained, but the front spring was relocated ahead of the axle to allow more interior volume. The body was lowered and new 'Center-Poise' seating improved comfort.
Visually, the 1935 Ford was much more modern with the grille pushed forward and made more prominent by de-emphasized and more-integrated fenders. A major advance was a true integrated trunk on 'trunkback' sedans, though the traditional 'flatback' was also offered. Outdated body styles like the Victoria were also deleted for the year. The wooden panels were manufactured at the in the Michigan Upper Peninsula from Ford owned lumber. Two trim lines were offered, standard and DeLuxe, across a number of body styles including a base, five-window, three-window coupe, Tudor and Fordor in flatback or trunkback versions, a convertible sedan, a woody, and new Model 51 truck.

If one got the optional radio, it replaced the ash tray. 1936 Ford Model 67 pickup truck Chevrolet regained the sales lead at the end of 1936, but the Ford still sold extremely well. A new club cabriolet model was introduced with a fully framed windshield and weatherproof top, and the convertible gained the popular integrated trunkback design. The look was updated with an inverted pentagonal grille with all-vertical bars beneath a prominent hood and three horizontal chrome side strips (on DeLuxe models). A concealed horn, long a prominent part of the Ford's design, also brought the car into modern times. The new trucks continued with the old grille. Other major changes for 1936 were the use of pressed steel 'artillery' solid wheels instead of wire wheels.
