Guess I have another project when I get done with the engine and transmission for the 41. Just need time and more money.

 

Great story and the model T is pretty cool too.

 

Great story and Pictures!!! Oh man, that T is fantastic! please get it running and drive it just like it is.

 

Maybe Ford should have offered suitcase weights for the '39 short wheelbase owners! Great story and photo.


Wow! That Model T is a beauty! The slip-on box looks identical to the one on my '20 pick-up. The hardware for that box may have been from The Cleveland Hardware Co., Cleveland, Ohio. They sold a kit called the "Cleveland" Forged Steel, Ford Slip-on Body Irons No. 1-B Again, very similar to mine, but there were a lot of aftermarket companies offering parts for Model T's back in the day.


Keep us posted on her progress. And don't feel too bad, a lack of time and money is the bane of our hobby!

Time??? Money??? It's done! It's ready for my living room....

 

After seeing the close-up picture of the slip on bed in the other post, the bed might not be a Cleveland Co. unit. The flat bracket at the rear, on the side of the bed is not like mine. Mine is a round piece of metal with a curve going down to the flat and horizontal board.


It's still a beautiful example of the Model T's versatility. Whatever needed hauling- people or freight!

Be sure to take it to the DMV for any driver testing that may be required in the immediate family.

 

Don't worry guys, I plan to leave it as it is except for getting it running and repairing things that need it. I can't wait to drive it myself, lots to do on my other project before then.
