The 1925 TT I was talking about on Monday is back.
Some of you who have been around here a while and go to the swap meets here on the east coast and even Hershey might recognize the name Al Good, he owns it. He was also an member of MTFCA.



And yes, it is 'a driver'. It's converted to 12V and has an alternator.
Along with the truck, he has a garage and a car hauler trailer full of Model T parts to sell. Including 2 rolling Model T engine test stands (with running engines in them) made from Model T's from the fire wall to the radiator. 2 26-27 frames sand blasted and painted. I don't how many coils in boxes with "Ford" written on the sides. Fenders, axles, axle housings, TT drive shafts and housings, wish bones, rims with tires mounted on them, tires and I don't even know what else?
His house looks like something you would see on that 'pickers' TV show and one of his neighbors 'ratted him out' to the county so he has to clean things up. He's 78 and his Mrs. is 79 and he just doesn't have the energy for much of this anymore. The trailer load is on it's way to a swap meet somewhere here in Florida but he could easily fill it again from the garage.
He has given me permission to post this here but he's not the internet type, so if you want to know what he has, you'll have to call him at (941)474-1776. He lives in Englewood Fla. That's about 30 miles south of Venice Fla.

That is a good looking truck,I wish it was closer as I would really like to look at it.

It's pretty nice George. The frame and under carriage has black paint on it but it's not fresh black paint. It looks like this truck has been taken apart and put back together but it was a while ago. I know the cab is tight. We had a "gully washer" of a Florida rain storm this morning and there was no water in the cab. Quite frankly, I forgot to ask Al anything about the truck. I was too busy getting a guided tour of the piles of Model T parts he had in the trailer and the garage.
He might not get the 15 grand he's asking for it but he knows what he can sell Model T stuff for, he's been doing it a long time and I can promise you, he ain't going to 'give it away'.

George, you could drive that truck to California in only 40 days.

Somebody needs to find the "rat" and make thier day miseable.They shouldnt bother that old of a fellow about something so dang silly.Judgeing from the truck,looks like his stuff would be good quality.And if it is in a garage,what the heck is the nieghbors complaint?

Forty days,come on I don't want a speeding ticket.

Well Mack, it's not all 'in' the garage and this is Florida where we have a lot of old retired people and 'Homeowner's Associations' who have nothing better to do than measure the height of their neighbor's lawns. I call them "Condo Nazis".

We had a neighbor who liked his lawn tall. A local group told him it needed mowing more often. He agreed he would mow it weekly, but first he put on a set of 12 inch wheels for his mower.

That's my kind of guy Steamboat. Down here where I live in Florida, it rains almost every afternoon in the summer. You can mow the lawn on one Sat. and by the next one, it will look like you haven't touched it in weeks.

'Specially if you have any Bahia in your lawn. That stuff grows so fast you can watch it.

Here in the California Central Valley the summers are hot and dry. If you miss a lawn watering you have a desert. When a sprinkler at our neighborhood park fails, within about 2 days you can see the brown circle.

Pretty much non-T, huh? But at least it's a TT thread and I'm a TT guy!

You excused Henry, I started the topic. I did what I set out to do, getting some exposure for Al's truck.
I was raised in Fresno. My Mrs. was raised in Bakersfield. I know exactly what you're talking about.

Dang, Dennis. Fresno, Bakersfield & Modesto. Sounds like between you, your Mrs., and me we have all the high spots covered!

Do you guys in Fresno and Bakersfield have to play Sacramento River Delta Smelt games, or do they let you water more than twice a week.. Also,if they don't let you water, do they charge you an unreasonable rate because you are not using enough water to pay for their inflated wages where they get a pay raise every year for not selling you water ?

I haven't lived there since the early 60.
I was going to comment about the idiocy of turning off the irrigation water to protect that stupid 'Minnow' I used to swim in the irrigation canals with.

I lived in Sacto in the mid seventies when moon beam became Gov. I remember the water Nazis telling me to turn off my lawn sprinklers. I lived one block from the American River, all the run off went right back into the river. No matter I was a scofflaw! Now I'm on a well and can pump what I wish.

Love your truck. I've always wanted a TT, that's what started all of this in the first place.
I would have bought that one (not for 15 grand) but I just don't have any place to put it?
When I had the custom engine built for my 27 Tudor, the end game was to have was to have the the numbers matching engine rebuilt absolutely stock, (by Tim Foye up in Mass.) buy a TT, put the stock engine back in the Tudor and put the custom engine in the TT for more power but the economy and my daughter's breast cancer has brought all that 'frivolity' to a screeching halt.

Dennis, The picture is of my old TT found in Paso Robles back in 1961. I bought it for $50.00 sold it for $2000 in 1976 when by daughter was born. Loved that truck. It was a 1922 chassis fitted with 1925 cab by the dealer Ellsworth Harrold Ford in the 20's.
