Overview

The table following lists the five cabs used on AA trucks. These cabs were also used on the A-chassis. The 76-A open cab was not available on the AA until May of 1928. The table contains links to individual cab type pages.

The 82-A closed cab was considered and referenced as the “AA cab” through April 1928 in Ford documentation. Rear body bolt holes were slightly modified and the cab became available on the A-chassis starting May 1928. The FMC ART only shows combined counts for cabs used on the A-chassis and AA-chassis.

The gallery is a collection of photographs of Ford cab and chassis AA’s.

Ford archive photographs have not been found of cab and chassis AA’s with the 76-A and 76-B open cab. Consequently, Ford drawings are shown in the gallery.

Chassis seat 75-A information (photographs, drawings, or counts) have not been found.
