Amazing ! Fantastic examples of aftermarket Model T bodies ! And I had no idea our Army utilized Ts for Post libraries šŸ¤” Every Army Post I’ve ever been to required 14-18 daily work hours and during the era of these pictures, I’m aware of a high degree of illiteracy in the ranks. Go figure. Also found interesting the mish mash of ā€œacceptable yearā€ parts on some of these. Once again; thank you Tom for sharing 😁

The first picture looks like it had been in an accident. The top over the cab on the 20th picture is interesting. Looks like it had been the rear part of a top adapted to fit in front.

These are all wonderful photos. The above photo caught my eye. First because the body appears to be made by someone with basic carpentry skills, and probably not made by a commercial body builder. Even at that, the framing of the cowl is more "sophisticated " than one might expect.
The second thing that caught my eye is that I believe this to be a brand new TT chassis. Look how perfect the paint / sheet metal / spokes & rims are. Even the front mounted license plate is pristine. This photo could be documenting the truck's "madien" voyage. What a treasure to see.

The trim on the barn tells me he was proud of his carpentry skills. The miter on the cowl was probably done on an old compound miter box with a hand saw.
