The truck is a 1930 Model AA Ford, the car behind is a 1930 Model A Ford.

Grant Taylor Would the truck have same motor as the car.

Graeme Tucker
Lyn N Moe Ford AA trucks had the same engine as the Ford Model A car 28-29 the same 3 speed gearbox I think the 30 had a 4 speed gearbox truck larger chassis and bigger wheels with much larger low ratio diff.

Grant Taylor
Graeme Tucker Correct. The 1930/31 AA was a much improved unit.
