Re: old photo tt on tracks
Herb,
Thank you for posting this photo. It is the first photo of a TT cab the same as the one I own. Now I have a photo to assist in reconstruction of the pieces I have.
Does anyone know who may have built this type of cab? It is very close to a Martin Parry but a bit different.

Re: old photo tt on tracks
The TT on tracks has a bead in the metal panel on the door. The front roof line is straight and has the upper 1/2 wind shield that tilts. All caracteristics of MP cabs.
Not sure about yours but its very cool. Love the metal brackets and one piece windshield. I wish mine had slider doors.

Re: old photo tt on tracks
Dallas,
I believe this truck had no doors originally. Someone added doors later that were hinged at the windshield. I believe they should be suicide doors so when they're open, they are not in the way of access in/out. The panel you see in the photo is the cab side with the opening window. I sure wish she looked like the photo now. This truck sat in front of an auto restoration company as an advertising sign. With about 30 years of that, there is/was little structural strength left in the wood. I salvaged as much a I could and plan to rebuild as it was, as best I am able. It is my wish to have it look 1/2 as good as yours as I will then know I did a GOOD job. Not sure if I will ever be able to match the outstanding job you did.
BTW. this truck has a grain dump bed I am planning on recreating. I've seen only two of these hand cranked cable, NOT CHAIN, dump trucks. I'm sure there are many out there, I just have not seen them YET.

Re: old photo tt on tracks
Its a great looking truck Terry. I think you have more to start with than I did. I took mine piece by peice and rebuilt it. Tim Morsher was a great help on pieces I was missing. I really enjoy seeing these old trucks coming back to life. Keep us posted on any progress.
