I have no connection to this sale, but it is an intriguing truck if it is the real deal.

I've seen a lot of WW I Model T Ford Trucks but never one classified as a "Troop Carrier"

I wonder how long he thinks that WW1 went for?

Hum…….New Egypt. Not far. Might take a look. Not interested just shopping.

I think the owner has a vivid imagination. The first impression I got was that it was a farm worker transport that doubled as a some sort of bulk hauler (such as hay) in the field. Just does not strike me as a WWI troop carrier. Jim Patrick

Interesting truck. Fairly early as TTs go, but I don't see anything that makes me think earlier than 1920, unless literally everything has been replaced with later stuff! (That's a joke, son!)
It looks like a fairly rare extra nice originally truck, which in itself says it wasn't a military truck at all! The military trucks were solid, quick and simple. Built to be tough, and reparable in the field. No fancy woodwork and pleated upholstery. The rear area looks to be a nice multi-combo box/bed not unlike what Dallas Landers has beautifully restored.

Probably a typical modern fool that forever and ever believes what some idiot told them when the idiot had no clue whatsoever what he was talking about.

It actually has the potential to become something really nice!

That's a fantastic '13 body under there. The beds nice too. The plywood in the cab looks to be several decades newer. Like Pat used to tell the bar maids after pointing out all their flaws "...but put it all together and I'd go for it".

The first thing I thought of when I saw this was the Landers Special. Not the same, but reminiscent.

I can't help but be amused by the sellers comment that he's not sure whether or not the 1920 engine is original to his WW1 truck. Maybe the war didn't actually end when the history books suggest.

The bed is not unlike the heavy wooden horse drawn waggons we had prior to the coming of motorised transport. Many of those featured finely crafted details and extensive decorative chamfer work like this. Whilst it does have a resemblance to Dallas's truck, the workmanship/design appears to be different. This one is more decorative than practical.

The distance from the flat ( seat) board on the side of the bed would meen the passengers would have to have long legs to reach the floor. What an ineresting truck.
