Model T Ford Forum: Forum 2018: T Truck doors
Top of pagePrevious messageNext messageBottom of page Link to this message  By Kim R. Wynn on Wednesday, June 13, 2018 - 09:47 am:

I have no experience with body panels on the T Truck cab. A friend has a 25 T Truck (closed) that his 99 year old father left him. The doors have been removed and replaced with wooden 1/2 doors. He would like to put full doors back on it. Are truck doors specific to this application or will another body style door fit? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I ve either heard or read somewhere that Ford 28-29 hardtop pickup doors will fit the TT enclosed Cab. If I read it on the I’Net then it’s true ;o)

George, You may be correct. There is an outfit in Castlemaine, Victoria which makes doors for the A model pickups. They are exported to the USA. We visited the facility on a T model tour I was on. It was mentioned that the same door was used on a T model, but as we never had closed cab TT s in Australia, I have nothing to go on to verify this.

If you Google the Rod suppliers they should come up.

George, As far as I know they will not fit. The 26-27 Coupe doors will fit the 28-29 Model A pickup. As far as the TT closed cab, I'm pretty sure you are stuck trying to find a pair which as stated earlier is like finding hen's teeth. - Matt

Here's a cab with doors on e-Bay. It's in Joplin, Missouri. $1150.00 and you pick up. The rest of the cab could be sold to recover some money. It's listed as a 1927 Ford cab. https://www.ebay.com/itm/MODEL-T-truck-cab-HOT-RAT-ROD-FORD-FLATHEAD-V-8/1231662 66758?hash=item1cad481586:g:VG8AAOSw~gRVoyYn

Late cab with the oval style switch opening.
That cab sucks for that money! IMO.
And I thought I had poor stuff here. Yikes.
Interesting thread! Hope your friend finds some decent doors.
:-)

Duey I agree but if you are in a don't have situation....I'm a retired autobody repairman so I would look at a lot more junk. Ha

Matthew, I did a Google MTFCA search and found a November 2010 thread in which this was discussed. Our Forum Friend Hal Tucker used his real name back then - Harold - and said “The 28-29 1/4 Ton closed cab pickup doors are almost a direct switch with the TT closed cab doors....But the Model A pickup uses window cranks and the TT uses window straps. easy and common swap.” I think this is where I read it. Don’t know how to attach that thread but if you Google: ‘MTFCA interchangeable parts, T’s and A’s’ you can follow the discussion. How ‘bout it Hal; you still feel the same?

Try Model T Haven in Iola, Kansas: Mark Freimiller. He has a website.

I had a 28 AA and it had curved doors that were like the model T Coupe. I still have the Coupe.

George,

Fred is correct. If you look at the 28-29 Model A pick-up cab they curve inward at the bottom. The doors have the same curve. The TT steel cab is straight up and down. That's why the two won't interchange. - Matt

Link to Model T Haven is the 2nd post. That would be as good a place to start as any

Contacted Model T Haven with no luck. I will keep looking. I may have to purchase a complete cab that has re-buildable doors. Thanks all.

Kim,

I have a closed cab 25. The doors for this cab are specific to this truck. No others will fit. Hard to find, yes, but I am sure there are some still out there.
