Steve, From memory (not as good as it once was) I believe his relative (it was his son I think) was going to keep the truck. If someone else does not have some more recent up-to-date information, let me know if you want me to check and see if I have some contact information or not. And yes, a very n...

For Steve, I always enjoy your comments and they are almost always “right on.” But in the case of a Jun 1915 Model T, I believe Bruce and others indicate a bulb horn could still easily be a factory item and for that matter we cannot rule out an electric horn either. You are correct that Bruce says t...

Hap_Tucker

For Victor, It sounds like you have a desire to make your car as close to the way it left the factory as possible.

Allan -- I'm 90% sure that the original rear axle would take dual wheels. It looks like they only used the outer wheel.

The cut off body that is on my 1915 has the metal seat frame and metal gas tank lid. It appears to use a different spring for the back rest. Both of those cut offs are the front section of a touring. The second one I still have not figured out which of the 5 or so 1915 body makers produced it. But p...

Hap_Tucker

The body tag shows 5 15 224857 and is easier to read when you can change the angle you look at it.

Hap_Tucker

That body also had the single row of springs about mid way up the back rest. From the newer looking wood (not painted) I suspect someone added that piece -- but the rest looks original to me.

Hap_Tucker

That photo and the next one are from my May 1915 "cut off" body that was made by Beaudett (also spelled Beaudette and referred to as Pontiac in most of the Ford USA documents). It came from an unrestored 1915-6 cut off was turned into an express wagon. The windshield brackets were changed out to the...

Hap_Tucker

I think it may be more involved than just when the car was assembled. In your photo Neal, your seat has the wooden cover over the gas tank. It also appears to me to have a wooden seat frame rather than a metal seat frame. In 1915 Ford USA was purchasing the bodies from out side suppliers. From the s...
