    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.

    Actually, it's amazing how great a design the A was and still is.I can only assume that in today's world, there's not one vehicle produced that can last the way our beloved A 's have.Get out there and run your A's and enjoy the response from all the folks. THX KEN BE SAFE AND ENJOY!

      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!

    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!!

    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 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!

    Low (granny) gear in an AA is a lower ratio not a higher ratio plus there is an add-on under drive - direct drive unit that was available to create a low range or all speeds in the main trans. I had two of them before selling one to a guy in Utah.

    2:31 only slightly over loaded, 😮.
    7:56 looks like a starting shaft for the air plane engine, interesting .

    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

      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!
