1925 TT or?

Post by John kuehn » Fri Oct 11, 2024 10:26 am

Is this a 25 TT with the lower radiator apron missing or it a low cowl TT. The photo caption said it was a 25 but I’m not sure.

Lower radiator ‘apron’ not missing. It’s there. It’s just the 1”+ sheet metal covering the bottom tank. So I feel it’s a pre ‘24 TT

Low radiator = 1917-23 model years

Because I see what appears to be a rear fender, I would say it is most likley a Model T and not Model TT.

Looking at the spare tire, on the driver's side, it is obvious the spare is NOT the same size as the front tires. THUS it IS a TT.

Yes. I was thinking it is low cowl era TT. The cab is a TT cab I think. I guess whoever posted the picture thought it was a 25. What’s curious is it looks like it has a small Texas license plate besides the older plate in its usual place. The post card size plate only appeared for just a very few years.

Very small cab for a truck, I dont think it is a TT, 17-23 T.

After doing a TT search on google there were LOTS of variations of the bodies for trucks and no telling what people did to modify a T chassis to use for a truck. There are some from a google search that came close to what’s shown in the post but not exactly. Interesting photo anyway.

It is a low radiator T. I lean towards it being a T Pickup rather than a TT. There is a rear fender. The tyre size difference may not be of any consequence. The left front looks larger than the right, and there were 4.40 x 23" clinchers available at the time also. If it had a factory cab, it may be a different story.

When I built my huckster, I put a wall between the cab and back which is what I think that it is. Agree about the tire, too small for a TT rear tire. Going with huckster on car frame.
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:
