OK, I've did a few searches for someone who sells plans for the wood body T's and TT's. I've found the folks that have the ready made bodys (out of my reach at this time) Just looking for plans to use as a starting point. I have access to a shop, lumber etc. and I have a few ideas i'd like to put to paper before I start.
Scott, with the stretch in your chassis there is unlikely to be a ready made set of plans for a truck body which will suit without modification. If you get photos of various trucks, not even Ford necessarily, and note how they are put together, you will have a good idea of how to proceed.
You have the firewall, the floorboard risers and seating position already set for you in the original stuff. Don't be afraid to change the seating/driving position to suit yourself. The rest is really up to how it all goes together. Standard practise with stretchers and cross pieces will get you the tray set up. Finding/making the ironwork brackets and such is the hardest thing.
I have a wonderful collection of photos of commercial bodies built in New York. These were taken off a set of glass negatives and given to me by Ben Ostergren from Northridge in California. If you have a preference for a particular body/cab style, there is bound to be something among them. Let me know if I can be of any help and I can email scans to you.

Allen when you send out the scans can you also send me a copy. jcassara@optonline.net
Thank you !
I have a 7' long wagon body that goes on a extended TT From the Field mfg Co.
I will take a picture this weekend.

Wagon Works sells plans for TT body.
For those who might wonder which TT frame and the comment about stretched see the photos at:

For plans I would highly recommend you contact Jay Cramer – who runs the Wagon Works mentioned above. His e-mail is: jaycramerataol.com (replace at with @ ) Below is another photo of his Ton Truck body that you would need to also strecth to fit your chasis. But his plans would give you some great ideas on how to lay out the frame work etc. even if you decided to build a different body.
Also I would recommend you ride in a couple of Ts and TTs to get a better feel for what you would like to restore/fix up first. I was only going to have one running T I personally would prefer the car chassis. It fits in a standard garage easily (watch out for tall tops). For the TT – if you have a standard garage – be sure to measure the garage door. If it is too low for an enclosed cab, you may want to consider a open cab so you can get under a standard door easily.

This new home made cab came with the TT project I bought a few years ago. I don't have the plans for it, but I can take some pictures and measurements if you want them.
