Foreign Ford A Trucks
A lot of factories/companies abroad made their own AA Truck bodies and some of them were sold by the Ford Motor Company. In Sweden there was a lower salestax if the car was assembled in Sweden. That was one of the reasons why Ford Motor Comapany almost to 100% imported just the AA chassis from USA. As you can see on following photos from Ford Motor Company A/Bs (Sweden) magazine "Ford världen" 1932 the Swedish AA bodies were different from the American built bodies.
The Ford trucks low maintaining cost and Fords very good technical standards was some arguments that often were used to sell Ford. This photo shows one of the AA trucks that was sold during 1932 from Ford Motor Company in Stockholm. The construction of the beds and the size of the cab differs from the American trucks. We normally did build the trucks this way and the narrow or wide beds were almost never used. Compare the cab of this truck with the trucks below .
This is a 1930-31 AA sold 1932. It was equipped with black headlights and black radiator shell.
AA trucks used by "Olaus Olssons Nya Bilimport" in Stockholm . The front bumpers looks like the bumpers that were used on "normal" Fords, as the Tudor.
