1924 Ford Model TT

1924 Ford Model T Description

This beautifully restored 1924 Model TT flatbed 1 ton truck has had the best restoration performed on it. The wood is in remarkable condition. The wheels and spokes are almost brand new. The engine runs great and she is ready for a new owner.

This vehicle is the heavy duty truck version of the Model T called the Model TT. Introduced in 19, the Model TT was the only major variant of the Model T. TT's have a longer and stronger chassis and lower gear ratios to enable the standard Model T 20hp engine to move one ton of freight. This vehicle also has a factory made cab. Prior to 1924, Ford only sold a rolling chassis. It was left to local manufacturers to build the cabs and beds, which is why there is such a variety of different styles to be seen on remaining examples. This vehicle also features one of the very few Ford approved aftermarket adaptations, a Ruckstell "underdrive" which made it easier for the vehicle to haul heavy loads over very poor roads and up hills. It allowed a top speed of 22 MPH. A regular TT only made 17 MPH while standard cars and runabouts, the light duty truck we now know as pick-ups, could zoom along at 35MPH. As mentioned, the TT has a longer wheelbase than the regular T, 125 inches compared with 100.
