Pint sized T

Post by Daisy Mae » Fri Aug 23, 2024 9:09 pm

Anyone monitor BaT?
A pint sized T....it speaks to a 40's forklift chassis, but the running gear is T....but with a halved T 2 cylinder engine...

The question in my mind is the claim that it was a forklift chassis..... so either that's a bogus claim, or somebody was actually using & cutting T engines in half to manufactur forklifts, or, as often the case it was a one off homemade Frankenstein fork lift.

I've heard of making 2 cylinder T engines, but not sure I ever read it was done commercially on any scale.
But, T engines certainly were plentiful, and i believe Ford still produced them into the 40's

Half the price of a full size one?
