A friend bought two Rear Wheel Rims at Hershey for his 1926 TT truck and neither one appears to be usable.

This one is the correct 23 inch size, but only fits a Firestone wheel.

Firestone Rim

This one appears to be missing the latch assembly and the correct type is unknown.

1926 Rim

Can anyone identify what each rim fits and if either is a correct TT rim?

Upper picture is indeed a Firestone rim. Type E and did not come on TT trucks.
Lower is Kelsey and did come on those 1920-1924 TT trucks equipped with Kelsey wheels. The ends did not bolt or latch together but just nested, it may be complete unless the hidden tab is broken.
Most 1926 TT trucks came with 20" Firestone rims.

Layden is correct on the bottom picture. Dave

John,

I believe you want to see the one at: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Ford-Model-T-TT-Rear-Wheel-Rim-sandblasted-very-nice-con dition-one-ton-truck-/271082554190?pt=Vintage_Car_Truck_Parts_Accessories&hash=i tem3f1dc7834e

It is listed as 4 3/4 wide and about 25 inches in diameter. I'm not sure what the diameter for the different TT wheels were. Hopefully someone will confirm that is one of the styles used by Ford or post a correction.

Respectfully submitted,

Hap l9l5 cut off
