You should check your local library or book store for references on Ford trucks. I have been kicking around the idea of adapting the Eastern Express Gaz AA kit into a US Army Ford truck from the 1930's. As far as I know, the GAZ factory was set up by Ford in the early 1930's as an exact copy of their other facitilities, and used standard Ford designs. As years went by, the Russians deviated from the original Model AA design, but early production model Gaz AA trucks should have been pretty much identical to the Ford Model AA, needing only the distinctive Ford logo stamped onto the radiator.

Hi Niceto see one of my article appear on the site , I did have information that you can from the basic kit convert it into over 100 different types of vehicle makers , the most basic changes are bonnet style , radiator shape , engine louvers more or less and in some cases none at all , and lastly the roof shape . Ford was the most copied vehicle in the world . A few that come to mind are International , Bean , White , Morris Commercial , Standard , Fordson , Bedford, Renault , Fiat. Opel , the list is endless , just need good original photo and study differnces and then make the changes to the kit hey presto as per my French Ford cheers ian
