Pretty nice. Probably was a flatbed, short running boards and 48-52 bed.

Nice tonner. Too bad the bed isn't original. Probably impossible to find a decent proper year p/u bed.

No rust and runs good for $9k, not bad. A great way to pick up lumber for cheap.

There are a couple 42-47 tonners in a junk yard in Sturgis. With beds on them.

42-47 tonner beds are too wide for the earller tonners. 42 and later got 2 1/2" more width between the bed sides and the inner wheel housings. I narrowed a 46 tonner bed ti fit my 38 back in the 80s. The 2 1/2" width increase came at the same time as longitudal leaf springs and open drive line. That truck would easily carry 40 sheets of 3/4 hardwood plywood..... On a slant with an 8') 6x10 under one edge of the load . Pretty horrible vehicle for a cabinet shop having only 46" between the wheel housings.

Maybe it's just the wood spoke wheels throwing me off. A's or AA's never had them.

I save the most depressing for last today. This beauty is at a price range I could afford but I bought my 47 so there you go. Too little too late, darn, $10k is a deal and a half!

Wood spokes and different cab

Here is the skinny of it. Most of the Canadian AA's had cabs built by Brantford Coach, thus they were called Brantford Cabs. They are a little different then the American built cabs being they are mostly wood with sheet metal covering and that goes for the doors also. The American AA's had the same cab as the pickup truck much more metal with far less wood than the Canadian Cabs. That is why the Canadian AA's with the Brantford Cabs are scarce. Often these AA's had the wood wheels and the fasteners inside the cab were Robertson("Square-drive" ) instead of slotted screws.
