Front view of original 24-27 Ford TT Truck needed

If someone out there has a frontal view of an original 1924-27 TT Truck, please post it here or email me. We are trying to match the radiator shield and fender apron and want to study original photos. Thank you

Keep in mind the “radiator shield” (sheet metal panel covering the bottom radiator tank and through which the crank handle enters) is wider for a TT of 24-27 than for a Model T.
I don’t know why I turned out this way. My parents were decent people.

Bunch of photos that you might be able to glean some info from; https://www.google.com/search?newwindow ... 80&bih=854
Even the older era ones, who knows what may have been factory or what might have been replaced. TT's restored today, could be 100% correct or 100% wrong re the radiator shell and fenders or even 50/50. ;)
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

It's not a truck, but it's an interesting comparison of the prior low radiator next to the new high radiator.

I like the two "supervisors" bringing up the rear. :)

Is there any reason why the TT apron should be different from the car aprons? The radiators are the same. The additional front spring leaf should have nil effect. Are the frame cross members different?

T and TT front crossmembers are different.

TT is Ford part # 1122

Dan, the TT cross member looks heavier than the car one, but still the same basic shape. Is there a 9 leaf front spring Y mount with the hole for the extra mounting screw below the crank handle hole? Otherwise the standard radiator apron should still fit, as shown in the photos above.

Thanks for the nice photos guys. Allan, sorry, I do not know about the engine mount difference if any on the TT. I was helping Julius Neunhoffer out on a project of his, but will ask him for you next time I see him.

This photo was taken in '27 but I can't tell what year this TT was from.
