I heard that Coker was still doing them. Not sure where I saw there add but it was within the past couple of years.

I just looked up the truck in my 1925 Martin Parry dealers catalog and it is an absolute perfect match in every respect.

1925 No. 320 Steel Side Panel Body, Type C with Martin-Parry Roller Doors.

It was available in M-P Pekin Green or M-P Wine.

"A handsome body of rakish lines and a distinctive appearance for the one ton chassis with 96-inch loading space behind the drivers seat. Dust proof and weather proof. Regular equipment includes two tire carriers, one on either side, to provide for rear as well as front spare tires, double ventilating windshield, sun visor, double steel doors in rear, two-section spring cushions, lazyback, toe boards, combination running boards and fenders, lamp and license bracket, and bolts for attaching body to chassis." 955 pounds net, 1230 pounds crated. $213.75

If you can zoom into the photo on the toe-board below where it says "Hemlock", that is where the spare tire bracket should have been before it was removed...

Jay - What a GREAT picture! And a great slogan,....."Anywhere Without A Spare".

Those solid tires have always intrigued me, and still do! If I lived back in the Model "T" era, and had a Model "T" for hunting, fishing, camping out in the wilderness, I'd want a set of those tires for "peace of mind"!

Clever, parks in front of a competitors storefront to advertize his product and block theirs.
