1926 Model TT Height

Post by CatGuy » Fri Apr 07, 2023 2:52 pm

We are not moving, but will need to expand the garage! I'm hoping someday to get a '26 TT that needs to be restored (it's painted, but not assembled). In trying to figure out the dimensions, I have that they are approximately 65" wide and 155" long. What is the height of one? It has the enclosed cab.

Sounds like your TT project is at about the same state as mine. Finishing the cab and getting ready to put it back up on the frame. I have a C-Cab, but I know that both factory cabs are quite tall. Though I cannot answer your height question exactly, I can say that they will not fit in a standard 7' high garage opening. We need garage doors that have one additional panel for height clearance.

Good luck with the completion of your truck.

My ‘24 TT is just above 7 feet tall. Probably 7 foot 1 inch. Mine is a standard cab, not a c cab. They are pretty darn tall. :lol:
