Ford Model TT

Trucks and Commercial Road Vehicles

The Ford Model TT is an early American truck built by the Ford Motor Company from 1917 to 1927, based mechanically on the Ford Model T car but fitted with a lengthened frame, a stronger rear axle and heavier-duty running gear suited to commercial hauling. As Ford's first dedicated truck model, it was typically sold as a bare chassis for outside body builders to fit with the load bed or cab a given business needed, and its low price and the Model T's established reputation for reliability helped make it one of the most common early trucks on American roads.
