They are a neat old truck. I have a 1933 BB with a wrecker boom on it and it gets tons of looks and comments. They aren't much for travelling any distance since they go about the speed of a Model T only a lot more growly.

Steve, Folks, Some first ideas on this project:
1. Get it out where people can see it. (Hope there will be some interest) 2. Service it to be running and moving/stopping safely. Not planning a full refurb. clean and paint as I usually do. This might remain somewhat as it is. 3. Try to have some fun along the way, meeting new folks and opening some new doors in life. 4. Trailer it to some events for show and tell. (even if static display) Its a good story. 5. If I could drive it to our local antique equipment shows within 40 miles within the next 2 years and not break the bank It will have met my expectations. 6. Meet some new friends that may help me along the way. 7. Long term goals = None! Its just a day at a time. 8. Maybe the kids, grandkids, or great grandkids will have some fun with the truck at some point, even if its just to set in the shade next to it. 9. Could use as part of our hobby business promotion too.
Regards, Chris

Thad, Thanks! It will be another journey. I plan to share some of the trip with you folks too. All new to me. I have been stuck in the 50's. We are stretching a little here. But these are relatively simple much like a tractor. I like the idea of low complexity. At my stage in life simple is better!
Some additional pics while I got you!

Like a new baby, you take a lot of pictures!

Ok I was asked to start a thread on this truck project. Its not home yet, maybe in a few days. Saw the add in the local tractor show newsletter. Checked it out and here is what friend Jim and I found:
Stored up on blocks for 70 years by the same family! Moved one time 20 years ago to the current spot. Last time it was on the road was 1952 ish, about the same time I was born. Truck was about 20 miles from me. This 1932 Model AAB was used in a local well drilling operation to carry pipe and water tank.
The owner and I seemed to hit it off and he is a shirt tail relations to Jim too. We looked it over, took a bunch of pictures, thanked the owner and left. Since then I did a bunch of research on the net. Talked to everybody I new and made a offer on the truck. As normal we negotiated some. Friend John a Model A guy went to look at it again yesterday. and after lots of looking we came to a agreement on the price. These working trucks of this size and type are not too common. Probably about like a Edsel Station wagon. Not many made and not kept or sought after. As compared to a Deuce coupe car.
Dual rears, I think they are 7.00-20's yea 7 of them!
The cab, compact, 4 speed (check box) non syncro, e brake and dump controls. Battery is under drivers floor board, gas tank under the non stock seat bottom.
Yea 65K miles on that seat.
Turn signal switch I dont think this is factree?
Left signal
more to come. Regards, Chris
