Description
For who is a fan of the closed cab Model T's like me!This is a 1926 Ford model TT truck, it has a Ruxtle 2 speed rear axle and may even run still, I found it while I was out exploring with my dad in 2008, and I am trying to buy it to restore!
I want this truck bad!
EDIT: I now am the proud owner of this truck! Restoration should start in the summer of 2010

Believe it or not, it actually does!
Hopefully my dad and I will be able to restore it soon, it should be a fairly easy project, and a lot of fun!

Wow that is something you don't see every day. I know this guy who owns a 1918 maxwell pickup that still runs and everything.

great shot and a great truck! does it run and are you going to restore to orginal?
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks!
It should run, I went through it and everything is good to go, I just need to re-install the coils and hook up a fuel source!
I have the truck at my house now, safe and sound, and I have been collecting all sorts of accessories and parts for the build, I hope to start on it this summer! (Full restoration)

Where I am the model T's are usually no more then a bare frame and some rusted byend recognition bits of steel, so finding this drivable example that is only missing it's windows is a big deal for me! It's going to be a lot of fun restoring this thing back to stock!
I also have a 26 T roadster body, a couple of Touring bodies, and I recently got a 1928 Model A Roadster pick-up cab, combined with the 28 frame, and short box I already have I can make a nice little hot rod out of it!

its driveable!!!
do you come across these old things quite often then?
π: 0 β©: 1
Usually just bits and pieces of T's and A's.
π: 0 β©: 1
you never find bits like that over here

It's too bad too, there were so many gorgeous cars and lorries out your way that I would love to see on the road still, but the stricter scrappage laws and vehicle inspections did away with the majority...
I have a pair of 1959 German Ford Taunus's that I desperately need parts for, and due to the crazy German scrappage laws I will likely never find what I need there, I will probably have to make everything I need for them... on CarDomain: [link]

cool do you make a lot of the parts yourself then?
π: 0 β©: 0
Boy I would sure love to take a shot at this one. It is beautiful.

If your ever out in Alberta I'll show you it!
I'm trying to buy it right now, I want to restore it so badly!

I get out there every year or so in the summer....Lethbridge area usually....but the province is small...lol...not.
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL, yeah tiny!
Well I'm up near Edmonton and so is this truck, so it's ony like 12 hours away from Lethbridge!
π: 0 β©: 1
ahhhh...what 12 hours....I would have already driven a few more than that just to get there...lol. We will see how the summer goes. I hope you get to buy and refurbish her.
π: 0 β©: 1
Me too, I have the skill, the patience, and the parts, so I really hope I get her!
Did I ever show you this? [link]
π: 0 β©: 1
I hope you do too.
No I hadnot seen th elink before, thanks for sharing.

No prob, their just a few of my cars that tend to come up in a conversation frequetly!

that would be great to get that thing and get it done. I'm currently dealing on a 49 ford truck that is on a 6 inch lift. not all original, but a neat looking ride, it is nicknamed goliath, i hope i get it. and possibly a model A that has been in a garage for about 60 years. waiting on a call on it.
π: 0 β©: 2
I've wanted the 49 truck for a long time, it is a true peice of work. it needs some tlc, but back when it was first done, the thing was a sight to see rolling down the road. the A, I'd like to have just to paint back up and put in the showroom of our building, since it was originally a Ford dealership built around 1922.

I never saw this reply till now, sorry!
I like that idea, the A would look cool there like that!
π: 0 β©: 0
They both sound cool, but the A sounds really facinating!
It would be a once in a lifetime find, I hope you get it!

I'm a hot rodder, but this one I'd fully restore, a person just does'nt get the oppertunities to work with tin this good anymore!
π: 0 β©: 0
That's a great find; any idea how long it's been sitting idle?
π: 0 β©: 1
The owner says he drove it in a local parade recently, told me how it was painted up for it too, so I looked at it close and there are murals covering every square inch of it, and they are all of things from the late 40's! (lil' abner ect.) so I figure it's been in this spot since the early 50's at least!
Man I hope he sells it to me!

I hope so too, it is one of the best I have ever found!

I thought so, too bad kids broke the windows out, but beyond that and surface rust (witch is removed like paint when you sand it down) it is really good!
