Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2014: Field Body Co- Any more out there?

After selling my last T in 1987, I'm Back! I'm now the proud(?)owner of a 1923 T with a "Light Express" body by the Field Body Co. of Owosso Michigan. There seem to be many T's with bodies by other manufacturers, but I haven't seen much of anything about T's with bodies made by the Field Body Co. Are there any more out there? P.S. I'll post a picture or two once I figure out how to resize them.

If I can re-size photos, anybody should be able to. I hate working with computers. As for passwords? that issue should be with the computer itself, not the website.
But don't expect me to explain it. I hate computers (and the computer people that keep changing things that work into a game of "hide and seek").

Dennis R, Welcome back to the world of Ts! I hope you can figure how to re-size and post photos. I would love to see some. Is the body a good original? Restored? Remake? Running or not? All have a good place in the model T world.
Drive carefully, and enjoy, W2

All you need to remember is that a computer is more stupid than your local idiot. Remembering this helps me to be semi-literate on the computer.

Thank you for the responses. I will see if I can resize pictures this weekend. The T was a "Dupont restoration", I would have to guess it was restored in the early 70's. It used to sit outside of a local nursery for years under a California Pepper tree. For those of you who don't know these trees- They shed leaves and berries which are very acidic, which gave the T so much "patina" you can see right thru the sheet metal in a few places! I runs and moves under it's own power. I'm currently rebuilding the front and rear axles before taking it "down the road". I plan on leaving it looking "as found" for now as the body is actually very solid. We've named it "Hope" as in I hope its still for sale, I hope It runs, I hope I make it back home from my "test drive" and of course, "I hope the Sheriff doesn't catch me"...

Thanks again! Dennis
