A 1931 ''AA''. Basically the same as a 1930, but it has the updated one-piece running board splash panel. A 1930 model would have a two-piece panel with the parting line running vertically just below the door hinge line to the running board.

The radiator shell lacks the ''Widows Peak'' below the space for the Ford emblem- that was only used on the 1930-'31 ''AA''s for some unknown reason. Perhaps gaining an extra inch of exposed radiator cooling surface?
 
Warbaby,the widows peak was only used on the light trucks,not the AA's.The painted steel shells used on the AA's were straight across like the one in the picture,and were deeper too to accommodate the thicker radiator used on the 30-31 AA's.I've been looking for a painted pickup shell with the peak for years.I've had plenty of AA shells.That truck in the picture is also a pre-August 31,that's when they came out with the all steel roof,this one has a piece of tin covering the old fabric roof.
 
With the added lights, clearance (and is that a directional under the horn?)I think it has some miles on it.
 
Production of the Model AA truck was moved to the Soviet Union. They produced nearly
a million of them up into the 1950's. The engine was produced for about 20 years longer,
and was one of the options in Soviet jeeps. These are now collectable. At the end, they
used oil pressure, insert bearings, and counterbalanced cranks. [I'd like to know if
they were really Model BB engines, which had larger bearings.]
 
Mom is behind the wheel with the 2 yr. old in the cab. You can see Dads arm and shadow on the left of the picture. He is loading the bales. Kids are wearing shorts so they don't were holes in the knees of
their ,,goin to school pants.
