Vehicle Description of the Model TT from Wikipedia: The Ford Model TT is a truck made by the Ford Motor Company. It was rated at one ton. It was based on the Ford Model T, but with a heavier frame and rear axle.The rear axle had a worm drive and crown wheel,unlike the Ford Model T's Crown wheel and pinion. The worm was located at the end of the driveshaft and above the crown wheel. The wheelbase of the car was 100 inches and the wheelbase of the TT was 125 inches. It was often equipped with a 'ruckstell axle' or some other accessory gearbox which allowed the truck to have an intermediate gear between low and high, which was useful for hill climbing. It was often sold as a chassis with the buyer supplying the truck body as needed. Mass production with Ford produced bodies ran from 1925 to 1927, but production of the Ford TT had started with the first TT chassis being released in 1917. It was very durable for the time, but slow when compared to more modern expectations. With standard gearing, a speed of not more than 15 m.p.h. was recommended, and with special gearing, a speed of not more than 22 m.p.h. was recommended, according to Ford Dealers Data Book 1923. Standard worm gear ratio was 7.25:1, special gearing 5.17:1. My 1922 Model TT: Mine is quite the survivor. Runs and drives great. Other than new upholstery and a new roof, the truck is unmodified and stock other than what appears to be a period correct Muncie 3 speed transmission upgrade with the required frame extension. Drive shaft and torque tube did not have to be modified. Newer rebuild of the original 4 cylinder engine, period correct rewire, new linings on the parking brake, new fan belt, new starter switch, brand new tires all around, extra door glass for the passenger door, rebuilt carburetor. Mechanically this truck is in excellent condition. Very minor rust here and there which has been coated and wouldn't spread anyway in our Southwestern desert climate. I wouldn't change a thing. Cosmetically, she exudes a wonderful 89 year old patina that is too perfect to mess with in my opinion. Trucks can be restored over and over but are only original once. Please call Chris anytime at 435-669-1470 (I'm in Southern Utah-100 miles north of Las Vegas) and I will be happy to answer your questions. Good Luck and Good Bidding.

Prior to this, my understanding is Ford only sold the chassis and aftermarket builders added a custom body. Thanks for the knowledge.
