Big thanks to Bill for the welding and work on my T steering column. Wife and I went for a good ride today and the T drove great. Thanks also for all the input for fellow form members.

My Model T Roadster Pickup still has a Minnesota tag from 1948 with very rusty bolts holding it on the front. Under the 1948 tag is a 1947 tag. The truck was painted county yellow. Looks like this T was last used in 1948.

It is a system that uses the brake pedal (with an extension welded on) to use both the transmission brake and the rear drum brakes at the same time. You still use the parking brake lever as normal.

The motor mounts I saw are one in the front under the hand crank and one on each side. Driver side by the starter. Should there be wood blocks somewhere on this.
