Well, the deal really hasn't been talked about much, but since this section needs a little more traffic, im gunna talk about the model TT i might get.
For those who don't know, a model TT was a larger version of the model T truck. The "one ton" verson if you will. They had a stronger frame, longer frame, different axles, lower gearing, and solid rubber rear wheels, just to name a few variances from the T.
I know a guy in montana who happens to have half a dozen or so. Ive always liked the enclosed cab version. If I get one, i will most likely make it a flat bed with period looking duel rear wheels, warford over/underdrive transmission, maybe a little lift to the back to give it a little rake, and some engine upgrades. My grandad has 3 T's, and his roadster has an upgraded motor including a hot cam, different head, more modern carb, electronic ignition, ect. I might not go as extensive as he did, due to the cost, but I would definately like to warm a motor up for this project. If i get it, i plan to use it for a weekend afternoon drive vehicle, as well as something to haul my 4 wheeler with, as that would be about the max weight I would want to haul with it.
Now that I gave you my basic idea, any suggestions?
