Another Museum Victoria photo.
Caption-"A T Model Ford delivery van belonging to G.R. Carter, Cash Grocer of 225 Glenferrie Road, Malvern."
Were all Australian TT front wheels changed out to rear wheels? So many of the old pictures show them that way.
You wouldn't need but one spare. I could certainly see the advantage.
I agree, Hal. One spare size would be an advantage.
My TT has had 4.40/4.50 X 21's on the fronts and 6.50 X 20's on the rears ever since I can remember. Interestingly, I found a Firestone 30 X 3 1/2 spare (with rim)) wedged up between the bed and the chassis. That spare had been there a very long time. It was not just flat, but the rubber was cracked everywhere and hard as a brick. I imagine the truck (an '18) came factory equipped solid with solid rubber tires, so the presence of that spare is a little mysterious.
I ask the same question. I was advised that they changed in 1925-26.
A couple of photos of TT's in Australian Museums.

Sorry the photos are back to front. I have put the wrong museum names above each photo.
They sure do make them look more 'manly', don't they?
Good question, I honestly don't know, I have never gone that deep into 'TT's. Years ago we used to take all the standard 'T' parts and scrap the rest...
Does anybody have a later Canadian Parts Book, say 1926? It may have a clue or two.
