Re: A “custom truck”!
That's a great one Les. It looks like they got their money out of that T. The update of a late coil box, a flat horn and a rear fender from who knows where shows some ingenuity. The pretty lady is dressed a bit nice for farm work.
Thanks.
Rich
Thanks.

When did I do that?

I think the coil box is actually the original one relocated and hanging off the radiator support rod

Looks like it’s time for the low cowl metal firewall too. The wooden one is definitely about gone!

Re: A “custom truck”!
Maybe Canadian look's like it has a driver's door at least it has hinges for one. Look's like maybe a spare mount on the running board also. Jim

Re: A “custom truck”!
Did anybody notice the horn? I looked at the car again and sure enough———-. What kind is it?
I’m guessing the photo was from the late 40’s -50’s. As you tell the T was getting close to the end of the line and kept going from what they find in junk piles or salvage yards.

Re: A “custom truck”!
Motorcycles did use horns like that. So did he 1930 Plymouth and no doubt several other cars. It may be a Delco Remy-16 6 volt or similar.
Also known as "Pancake Horns".
When did I do that?
